James 1:23 KJV
For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass:
James 1:23, King James Version
In context
22 But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.
23 For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass:
24 For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was.
