"for he beholdeth himself, and goeth away, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was. "
— James 1:24, American Standard Version
“For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was.”
“for he sees himself, and goes away, and immediately forgets what kind of man he was.”
“For he gazes at himself and then goes out and immediately forgets what sort of person he was.”
“For he beheld himself and went his way and presently forgot what manner of man he was.”
“For after looking at himself he goes away, and in a short time he has no memory of what he was like.”
“For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was.”
Wherefore putting away all filthiness and overflowing of wickedness, receive with meekness the implanted word, which is able to save your souls.
But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deluding your own selves.
For if any one is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a mirror:
for he beholdeth himself, and goeth away, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was.
But he that looketh into the perfect law, the law of liberty, and so continueth, being not a hearer that forgetteth but a doer that worketh, this man shall be blessed in his doing.
If any man thinketh himself to be religious, while he bridleth not his tongue but deceiveth his heart, this man’s religion is vain.
Pure religion and undefiled before our God and Father is this, to visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unspotted from the world.
