James 1:21-25

So get rid of all that's filthy and evil. Humbly accept the word that's been implanted within you—for this is what can save you.

But do what the word says—don't just listen to it and delude yourselves.

If you just listen to the word, and don't act on it, it's like staring at your own face in a mirror.

You see yourself, but then you leave, and immediately forget what you looked like.

But if you look to the perfect law of freedom and follow it, not as someone who just listens and then forgets, but as someone who acts on it—then you will be blessed in what you do.
