Background on Philoxenus of Mabbug
In his own words on James
- James 1:22
We are therefore bound by the word of our Teacher not to be constant listeners only to the Word of God but also constant doers. For the man who, though listening not, doeth, is better than the man who is constant in listening and empty of works.
