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 [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.

22But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deluding your own selves.

22And be ye doers of the word, and not hearers onely, deceiuing your owne selues.

22But be doers of the word, and not only hearers, deluding your own selves.

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

22But be careful to do what God says in his message. Do not only listen to it. Do not make that mistake!

22and become doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves,
