환난 중에 어떻게 하나님께 나아갈 것인가, 그리고 형통한 상황과 역경 가운데서 어떻게 행할 것인가. (1-11) 모든 악은 우리 자신에게서, 모든 선은 하나님에게서 나옴을 볼 것. (12-18) 경솔한 성미를 경계하고 하나님의 말씀을 온유함으로 받는 의무. (19-21) 그리고 그에 따라 사는 것. (22-25) 헛된 겉치레와 참된 신앙의 차이. (26,27)
23For if anybe a hearer of the word, andnot a doer, he is like unto a manbeholdinghisnaturalfacein a glass:
23 Because if any man is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man looking at his natural face in a glass;
23 누구든지 도를 듣고 행하지 아니하면 그는 거울로 자기의 생긴 얼굴을 보는 사람과 같으니
[x]MKJV: For if anyone is a hearer of [the] Word and not a doer, he is like a man studying his natural face in a mirror. BBE: Because if any man is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man looking at his natural face in a glass; KAV: 말씀을 듣고 행하지 아니하는 자는 거울로 자기의 본래 얼굴을 들여다보는 사람과 같으니라. TSK: For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass:: jas 2:14-26, jer 44:16, eze 33:31,32, mt 7:26,27, lu 6:47-7
24For he beholdethhimself, and goeth his way, andstraightwayforgetteth what manner of man he was.
24 For after looking at himself he goes away, and in a short time he has no memory of what he was like.
24 제 자신을 보고 가서 그 모양이 어떠한 것을 곧 잊어버리거니와
[x]MKJV: For he studied himself and went his way, and immediately [he] forgot what he was like. BBE: For after looking at himself he goes away, and in a short time he has no memory of what he was like. KAV: 그는 자기를 바라보고 자기 길로 가서 자기가 어떤 사람인지 곧 잊어버리거니와 TSK: what: jud 8:18, mt 8:27, lu 1:66, lu 7:39, 1th 1:5, 2pe 3:11
25But whoso lookethinto the perfectlaw of liberty, andcontinueththerein,hebeingnot a forgetfulhearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall beblessedinhisdeed.
25 But he who goes on looking into the true law which makes him free, being not a hearer without memory but a doer putting it into effect, this man will have a blessing on his acts.
25 자유하게 하는 온전한 율법을 들여다보고 있는 자는 듣고 잊어버리는 자가 아니요 실행하는 자니 이 사람이 그 행하는 일에 복을 받으리라
