James 1:24-26
American Standard Version
24 for he beholdeth himself, and goeth away, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was. 25 But he that looketh into the perfect law, the law of liberty, and so continueth, being not a hearer that forgetteth but a doer that worketh, this man shall be blessed in his doing. 26 If any man [a]thinketh himself to be religious, while he bridleth not his tongue but deceiveth his heart, this man’s religion is vain.
