James 1:25

But whoever constantly fixes his gaze on (stops and bends down to examine) the perfect teaching of freedom [doctrine, law – Gk. nomos, see Matt. 5:17], who is not a forgetful listener but an active doer [who obeys God's word], becomes blessed (happy) in what he does [experiences God's joy and blessing in his life].
