Santiago 1:24 Meaning and Commentary

James 1:24

For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way
He takes a slight glance of himself, and departs:

and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was;
he forgets either his spots, blemishes, and imperfections; or his comeliness and beauty; the features of his face, be they comely or not: so a bare hearer of the word, who is not concerned to practise what he hears, while he is hearing, he observes some things amiss in himself, and some excellencies in Christ; but, when the discourse is over, he goes his way, and thinks no more of either.

Santiago 1:24 In-Context

22 No se contenten solo con escuchar la palabra, pues así se engañan ustedes mismos. Llévenla a la práctica.
23 El que escucha la palabra pero no la pone en práctica es como el que se mira el rostro en un espejo
24 y, después de mirarse, se va y se olvida en seguida de cómo es.
25 Pero quien se fija atentamente en la ley perfecta que da libertad, y persevera en ella, no olvidando lo que ha oído sino haciéndolo, recibirá bendición al practicarla.
26 Si alguien se cree religioso pero no le pone freno a su lengua, se engaña a sí mismo, y su religión no sirve para nada.
