But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves. |
But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves. |
But prove yourselves doers of the word, and not merely hearers who delude themselves. |
Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. |
But be doers of the Word [obey the message], and not merely listeners to it, betraying yourselves [into deception by reasoning contrary to the Truth]. |
Moreover, keep on becoming doers of the Word and stop being hearers only, reasoning yourselves into a false premise and thus deceiving yourselves, |
Don’t only hear the message, but put it into practice; otherwise you are merely deluding yourselves. |
Keep on obeying this message; do not merely listen to it, and so deceive yourselves. |
But 1161 be 1096 ye doers 4163 of the word, 3056 and 2532 not 3361 hearers 202 only, 3440 deceiving 3884 your own selves. 1438 |
