"So be doers of the Word, and not listeners only, deceiving yourselves. "
— James 1:22, Catholic Public Domain Version
“But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.”
“But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deluding your own selves. ”
“But be doers of the word, and not only hearers, deluding your own selves.”
“But be sure you live out the message and do not merely listen to it and so deceive yourselves.”
“But be ye doers of the word and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.”
“But be doers of the word, and not only hearers of it, blinding yourselves with false ideas.”
“But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.”
You know this, my most beloved brothers. So let every man be quick to listen, but slow to speak and slow to anger.
For the anger of man does not accomplish the justice of God.
Because of this, having cast away all uncleanness and an abundance of malice, receive with meekness the newly-grafted Word, which is able to save your souls.
So be doers of the Word, and not listeners only, deceiving yourselves.
For if anyone is a listener of the Word, but not also a doer, he is comparable to a man gazing into a mirror upon the face that he was born with;
and after considering himself, he went away and promptly forgot what he had seen.
But he who gazes upon the perfect law of liberty, and who remains in it, is not a forgetful hearer, but instead a doer of the work. He shall be blessed in what he does.
