22 And be ye doers of the worde, and not hearers only, deceauyng your owne selues. 23 For yf any be a hearer of the worde, and not a doer, he is lyke vnto a man beholdyng his bodyly face in a glasse: 24 For he hath considered hym selfe, and is gone his wayes, & hath forgotten immediatly what his fashion was. 25 But who so loketh in the perfect lawe of libertie, and continueth therin he being not a forgetfull hearer, but a doer of the worke, shalbe blessed in his deede. 26 If any man among you seeme to be deuout, and refrayneth not his tongue, but deceaueth his owne heart, this mans deuotion is vayne. 27 Pure deuotion and vndefyled before God and the father, is this: To visite the fatherlesse and widdowes in their aduersitie, and to kepe hymselfe vnspotted of the worlde.
