"and after considering himself, he went away and promptly forgot what he had seen."
— James 1:24, Catholic Public Domain Version
“For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was.”
“for he beholdeth himself, and goeth away, 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.”
Because of this, having cast away all uncleanness and an abundance of malice, receive with meekness the newly-grafted Word, which is able to save your souls.
So be doers of the Word, and not listeners only, deceiving yourselves.
For if anyone is a listener of the Word, but not also a doer, he is comparable to a man gazing into a mirror upon the face that he was born with;
and after considering himself, he went away and promptly forgot what he had seen.
But he who gazes upon the perfect law of liberty, and who remains in it, is not a forgetful hearer, but instead a doer of the work. He shall be blessed in what he does.
But if anyone considers himself to be religious, but he does not restrain his tongue, but instead seduces his own heart: such a one’s religion is vanity.
This is religion, clean and undefiled before God the Father: to visit orphans and widows in their tribulations, and to keep yourself immaculate, apart from this age.
