James 1:23-24

Context
1:23 For if someone merely listens to the message and does not live it out, he is like someone 1  who gazes at his own face 2  in a mirror. 1:24 For he gazes at himself and then goes out and immediately forgets 3  what sort of person he was.

1 tn The word for “man” or “individual” is ἀνήρ (anhr), which often means “male” or “man (as opposed to woman).” However, as BDAG 79 s.v. 2 says, here it is “equivalent to τὶς someone, a person.”

2 tn Grk “the face of his beginning [or origin].”

3 tn Grk “and he has gone out and immediately has forgotten.”
