WNT(i)
22 But prove yourselves obedient to the Message, and do not be mere hearers of it, imposing a delusion upon yourselves.
23 For if any one listens but does not obey, he is like a man who carefully looks at his own face in a mirror.
24 Although he has looked carefully at himself, he goes away, and has immediately forgotten the sort of man he is.
25 But he who looks closely into the perfect Law--the Law of freedom--and continues looking, he, being not a hearer who forgets, but an obedient doer, will as the result of his obedience be blessed.
26 If a man thinks that he is scrupulously religious, although he is not curbing his tongue but is deceiving himself, his religious service is worthless.
