James 1:22

22Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says.

22But prove yourselves doers of the word, and not just hearers who deceive themselves.

22But prove yourselves doers of the word, and not merely hearers who delude themselves.

22But prove yourselves doers of the word [actively and continually obeying God’s precepts], and not merely listeners [who hear the word but fail to internalize its meaning], deluding yourselves [by unsound reasoning contrary to the truth].

22Be doers of the word, and not hearers only. Otherwise, you are deceiving yourselves.

22Don’t just listen to the word. You fool yourselves if you do that. You must do what it says.
