Calvin's on James 1:23

COM commentary-section · status:draft · license:PD

23 He is like to a man . Heavenly doctrine is indeed a mirror in which God presents himself to our view; but so that we may be transformed unto his image, as Paul says in 2 Corinthians 3:18 . But here he speaks of the external glance of the eye, not of the vivid and efficacious meditation which penetrates into the heart. It is a striking comparison, by which he briefly intimates, that a doctrine merely heard and not received inwardly into the heart avails nothing, because it soon vanishes away. return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-25" class="com-number"
