James 1:23 in Context — James 1
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.
25 Mas el que hubiere mirado atentamente en la perfecta ley, [que es] la de la libertad, y perseverado [en ella], no siendo oidor olvidadizo, sino hacedor de la obra, este tal será bienaventurado en su hecho.
