James 1:24
“for he sees himself, and goes away, and immediately forgets what kind of man he was.”
Verse in context — James 1
22
But be doers of the word, and not only hearers, deluding your own selves.
23
For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man looking at his natural face in a mirror;
24
for he sees himself, and goes away, and immediately forgets what kind of man he was.
25
But he who looks into the perfect law of freedom, and continues, not being a hearer who forgets, but a doer of the work, this man will be blessed in what he does.
26
If anyone among you thinks himself to be religious while he doesn't bridle his tongue, but deceives his heart, this man's religion is worthless.
