In context

²⁰For man’s anger does not bring about the righteousness that God desires.

²¹Therefore, get rid of all moral filth and every expression of evil, and humbly accept the word planted in you, which can save your souls.

²²Be doers of the word, and not hearers only. Otherwise, you are deceiving yourselves.

²³For anyone who hears the word but does not carry it out is like a man who looks at his face in a mirror,

²⁴And after observing himself goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like.
