| James 1:23 | For if a man be a hearer of the word, and not a doer; he shall be compared to a man beholding his natural countenance in a glass: | He shall be compared to a man, etc. The sense is, that it is not enough for a man to examine and look into his interior, and the state of his conscience in a negligent and superficial manner, no more than one that goes to a looking-glass, but does not take care to take away the dirt or spots which he might discover. (Witham) |
