James 1:22-26 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

22. Be doers of the word and not hearers only, deluding yourselves.

23. For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man who looks at his own face in a mirror.

24. He sees himself, then goes off and promptly forgets what he looked like.

25. But the one who peers into the perfect law of freedom and perseveres, and is not a hearer who forgets but a doer who acts, such a one shall be blessed in what he does.

26. If anyone thinks he is religious and does not bridle his tongue but deceives his heart, his religion is vain.
