James 1

Young's Literal Translation (YLT)

22 Ref and become ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves,

23 Ref because, if any one is a hearer of the word and not a doer, this one hath been like to a man viewing his natural face in a mirror,

24 Ref for he did view himself, and hath gone away, and immediately he did forget of what kind he was;

25 Ref and he who did look into the perfect law -- that of liberty, and did continue there, this one -- not a forgetful hearer becoming, but a doer of work -- this one shall be happy in his doing.

American Standard-ASV1901 (ASV)

22 Ref But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deluding your own selves.

23 Ref 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:

24 Ref for he beholdeth himself, and goeth away, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was.

25 Ref 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.
