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


In Context

19 Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath:

20 For the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God.

21 Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the ingrafted word, which is able to save your souls.

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

23 For if any is a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like a man beholding his natural face in a glass:

24 For he beholdeth himself, and goeth away, and immediately forgetteth what manner of man he was.
