For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was.

Verse 24 is found in chapter 1 of James. The word must be put into practice and not merely heard. The image of the mirror illustrates the self-deception of someone who listens without obeying. Genuine religion is expressed through self-control, care for the vulnerable, and purity from the world.

Denn nachdem er sich beschaut hat, geht er davon und vergißt von Stund an, wie er gestaltet war.
Porque Él se consideró a sí mismo, y se fue, y luego se olvidó qué tal era.
et qui, après s'être regardé, s'en va, et oublie aussitôt quel il était.
Imperocchè, dopo ch’egli si è mirato, egli se ne va, e subito ha dimenticato quale egli fosse.
Porque se contempla a si mesmo, e vai-se, e logo se esquece de como era.
注視後,就離開,立刻忘了自己的相貌如何。
