Don’t fool yourself into thinking that you are a listener when you are anything but, letting the Word go in one ear and out the other. Act on what you hear! Those who hear and don’t act are like those who glance in the mirror, walk away, and two minutes later have no idea who they are, what they look like.

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

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

Do what God’s teaching says; when you only listen and do nothing, you are fooling yourselves.

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

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

But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.

But 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].

But don’t just listen to God’s word. You must do what it says. Otherwise, you are only fooling yourselves.

Don’t just listen to the Word of Truth and not respond to it, for that is the essence of self-deception. So always let his Word become like poetry written and fulfilled by your life!

But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.
