James 1:24-26
New American Standard Bible
24 for once he has looked at himself and gone away, [a]he has immediately forgotten what kind of person he was. 25 But one who has looked intently at the perfect law, (A)the law of freedom, and has continued in it, not having become a forgetful hearer but [b]an active doer, this person will be (B)blessed in [c]what he does.
26 If anyone thinks himself to be religious, yet does not [d](C)bridle his tongue but deceives his own heart, this person’s religion is worthless.

James 1:24-26
New International Version
24 and, after looking at himself, goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like. 25 But whoever looks intently into the perfect law that gives freedom,(A) and continues in it—not forgetting what they have heard, but doing it—they will be blessed in what they do.(B)
26 Those who consider themselves religious and yet do not keep a tight rein on their tongues(C) deceive themselves, and their religion is worthless.
