But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.
A verse can bring hope. Share this message of faith with someone you care about.
Verse 22 is found in chapter 1 of James. The word must be put into practice and not merely heard. The image of the mirror illustrates the self-deception of someone who listens without obeying. Genuine religion is expressed through self-control, care for the vulnerable, and purity from the world.

Seid aber Täter des Worts und nicht Hörer allein, wodurch ihr euch selbst betrügt.
Mas sed hacedores de la palabra, y no tan solamente oidores, engañándoos a vosotros mismos.
Mettez en pratique la parole, et ne vous bornez pas à l'écouter, en vous trompant vous-mêmes par de faux raisonnements.
E siate facitori della parola, e non solo uditori; ingannando voi stessi.
E sede cumpridores da palavra, e não somente ouvintes, enganando-vos com falsos discursos.
但是,你們要作行道的人,不要只作聽道的人,自己欺騙自己。
