  hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a
  man observing his natural face in a mirror 24
  for he observes himself, goes away, and
  immediately forgets what kind of man he was. 25
  But he who looks into the perfect law of liberty
  and continues in it, and is not a forgetful
  hearer but a doer of the work, this one will be
  blessed in what he does.

  prophecies, they will fail whether there are
  tongues, they will cease whether there is

  part will be done away.

  written. Amen.
