In context
18 Of his own will he brought us forth by the word of truth, that we should be a kind of first fruits of his creatures.
19 This you know, my beloved brothers. But let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, and slow to anger;
20 for the anger of man does not accomplish the righteousness of God.
21 Therefore, putting away all filthiness and overflowing of wickedness, receive with humility the implanted word, which is able to save your souls.
22 But be doers of the word, and not only hearers, deluding your own selves.
23 For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man looking at his natural face in a mirror;
24 for he sees himself, and goes away, and immediately forgets what kind of man he was.
