James 1:22 in Context — James 1

20 Porque la ira del hombre no obra la justicia de Dios.

21 Por lo cual, dejando toda inmundicia y superfluidad de malicia, recibid con mansedumbre la palabra ingerida, la cual puede hacer salvas vuestras almas.

22 Mas sed hacedores de la palabra, y no tan solamente oidores, engañándoos á vosotros mismos.

23 Porque si alguno oye la palabra, y no la pone por obra, este tal es semejante al hombre que considera en un espejo su rostro natural.

24 Porque él se consideró á sí mismo, y se fué, y luego se olvidó qué tal era.
