James 1:24 in Context — James 1

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.

26 Si alguno piensa ser religioso entre vosotros, y no refrena su lengua, sino engañando su corazón, la religión del tal es vana.
