James1:24
For he beholdeth himself. While he looks in the mirror he sees his true appearance.
And goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth. As soon as he goes away, he forgets it. The apostle does not refer to any intention on his part, but to what is known to occur as a matter of fact.
What manner of man he was. How he looked; and especially if there was anything in his appearance that required correction.
(+) "straightway" or, "immediately"
