James 122-25 Do not merely listen to the word,
and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says.
Anyone who listens to the word but does not do
what it says is like a man who looks at his face
in a mirror and, after looking at himself, goes
away and immediately forgets what he looks like.
But the man who looks intently into the perfect
law that gives freedom, and continues to do this,
not forgetting what he has heard, but doing
it--he will be blessed in what he does.
Accountability that we would not behave like
the one who walks away with no change in his /
her life.
