Berean Standard Bible
“Be doers of the word, and not hearers only. Otherwise, you are deceiving yourselves.”
In the previous verse James told his readers to humbly receive the word planted in them. In the early church most believers heard Scripture read aloud in their gatherings rather than reading it privately, so hearing was the main way the word reached them.
