James 1:22 Made Simple

KJV ORIGINAL

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

Close to the original. Clear modern English.

✦ MADE SIMPLE

Don't just listen to what God says and then scroll past it — actually do something about it. If you're only hearing but not acting, you're basically lying to yourself.

⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE

Faith without action is just good intentions that never left the group chat.
