In context
18 For of his own will hath he begotten us by the word of truth, that we might be some beginning of his creature.
19 You know, my dearest brethren. And let every man be swift to hear, but slow to speak and slow to anger.
20 For the anger of man worketh not the justice of God.
21 Wherefore, casting away all uncleanness and abundance of naughtiness, with meekness receive the ingrafted word, which is able to save your souls.
22 But be ye doers of the word and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.
23 For if a man be a hearer of the word and not a doer, he shall be compared to a man beholding his own countenance in a glass.
24 For he beheld himself and went his way and presently forgot what manner of man he was.
