James 1:23 in Context — James 1
21 C’est pourquoi, rejetant toute souillure et tout excès de malice, recevez avec douceur la parole qui a été plantée en vous, et qui peut sauver vos âmes.
22 Mettez en pratique la parole, et ne vous bornez pas à l’écouter, en vous trompant vous-mêmes par de faux raisonnements.
23 Car, si quelqu’un écoute la parole et ne la met pas en pratique, il est semblable à un homme qui regarde dans un miroir son visage naturel,
24 et qui, après s’être regardé, s’en va, et oublie aussitôt quel il était.
25 Mais celui qui aura plongé les regards dans la loi parfaite, la loi de la liberté, et qui aura persévéré, n’étant pas un auditeur oublieux, mais se mettant à l’œuvre, celui-là sera heureux dans son activité.
