Mace⁽ⁱ⁾ ²² Don't delusively content your selves with being of the audience, but put what you hear in practice: ²³ for a bare auditor without practice is like one who sees his image form'd by a mirror: ²⁴ he takes a view, turns away, and instantly loses his appearance. ²⁵ whereas, he that attentively considers the perfect law of liberty, and is attach'd thereto, he is not a forgetful hearer, but reduces it to practice, and his conduct is crown'd with hapiness. ²⁶ If a person of an ungovernable tongue pretends to religion, he abuses himself: for his religion is meer illusion. ²⁷ pure and unadulterated religion, in the eye of God our father, consists in taking care of orphans and widows in their distress: and in keeping clear of the vices of the age.

Whiston⁽ⁱ⁾ ²² But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves. ²³ If any one be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass: ²⁴ For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was. ²⁵ But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth [in it,] being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed. ²⁶ If any man seem to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man's religion [is] vain. ²⁷ For pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father, is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, to keep himself unspotted from the world.

Wesley⁽ⁱ⁾ ²² But be ye doers of the word and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves: ²³ For if any one be an hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like a man beholding his natural face in a glass. ²⁴ For he beheld himself, and went away, and immediately forgot what manner of man he was. ²⁵ But whoso looketh diligently into the perfect law, the law of liberty, and continueth therein, this man being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the word, this man shall be happy in his doing. ²⁶ If any one be ever so religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man's religion is vain. ²⁷ Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspoted from the world.

Thomson⁽ⁱ⁾ ²² and be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves. ²³ For if any one is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man viewing his natural face in a glass. ²⁴ For having viewed himself, and gone away, he instantly forgot what manner of person he was. ²⁵ But whosoever hath looked carefully into the perfect law of this liberty, and continued therein; he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of work, shall by his doing be happy. ²⁶ If any one among you thinketh to be religious without bridling his tongue, he is but deceiving his heart.

Webster⁽ⁱ⁾ 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. ²⁵ But he who looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth in it, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed. ²⁶ If any man among you seemeth to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man's religion is vain. ²⁷ Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.

Twentieth_Century⁽ⁱ⁾ ²² Put that Message into practice, and do not merely listen to it--deceiving yourselves. ²³ For, when any one listens to it and does not practice it, he is like a man looking at his own face in a mirror. ²⁴ He looks at himself, then goes on his way, ²⁵ But he who looks carefully into the perfect Law, the Law of Freedom, and continues to do so, not listening to it and then forgetting it, but putting it into practice--that man will be blessed in what he does. ²⁶ When a man appears to be religious, yet does not bridle his tongue, but imposes upon his own conscience, that man's religious observances are valueless. ²⁷ That religious observance which is pure and spotless in the eyes of God our Father is this--to visit orphans and widows in their trouble, and to keep oneself uncontaminated by the world.

Moffatt⁽ⁱ⁾ ²² Act on the Word, instead of merely listening to it and deluding yourselves. ²³ For whoever listens and does nothing, is like a man who glances at his natural face in a mirror; ²⁴ he glances at himself, goes off, and at once forgets what he was like. ²⁵ Whereas he who gazes into the faultless law of freedom and remains in that position, proving himself to be no forgetful listener but an active agent, he will be blessed in his activity. ²⁶ Whoever considers he is religious, and does not bridle his tongue, but deceives his own heart, his religion is futile. ²⁷ Pure, unsoiled religion in the judgment of God the Father means this: to care for orphans and widows in their trouble, and to keep oneself from the stain of the world.

Goodspeed⁽ⁱ⁾ ²² Obey the message; do not merely listen to it, and deceive yourselves. ²³ For anyone who merely listens to the message without obeying it is like a man who looks in a mirror at the face that nature gave him, ²⁴ and then goes off and immediately forgets what he looked like. ²⁵ But whoever looks at the faultless law that makes men free and keeps looking, so that he does not just listen and forget, but obeys and acts upon it, will be blessed in what he does. ²⁶ If anyone thinks he is religious, and does not bridle his tongue, but deceives himself, his religious observances are of no account. ²⁷ A religious observance that is pure and stainless in the sight of God the Father is this: to look after orphans and widows in their trouble, and keep one's self unstained by the world.

Riverside⁽ⁱ⁾ ²² Become doers of the message and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves. ²³ For if one is a hearer of the message and not a doer, he is like a man who looks at his natural face in a mirror. ²⁴ He looks at himself and is gone, and immediately forgets what sort of man he was. ²⁵ But he who looks earnestly into the perfect law of liberty and continues to do so, and becomes not a forgetful hearer but a doer of work — that man will be blessed in what he does. ²⁶ If any one thinks himself religious while he does not bridle his tongue, but deceives his own heart, that man's religion is worthless. ²⁷ Pure and stainless religion in the sight of God the Father is to visit orphans and widows in their trouble and to keep one's self unspotted from the world.

MNT⁽ⁱ⁾ ²² And become doers of the Word, and not merely hearers, deceiving yourselves. ²³ Because if any one is a hearer of the Word and not a doer, he is like a man who looks at his natural face in a mirror; ²⁴ for after he has looked carefully at himself, he goes away, and at once forgets what he is like. ²⁵ But the man who looks closely into the perfect law—the law of liberty—and continues looking, this man will be blessed in his deed because he is not a hearer who forgets, but a doer who does. ²⁶ If a man thinks himself to be religious, and yet does not bridle his tongue, but deceives his own religion, ²⁷ and undefiled before our God and Father, to look after orphans and widows in their affliction, and ever to keep himself unspotted from the world.

CLV⁽ⁱ⁾ ²² Now become doers of the word, and not only listeners, beguiling yourselves." ²³ For if anyone is a listener to the word and not a doer, this one simulates a man considering the face he inherited in a mirror;" ²⁴ for he considers himself and has come away, and immediately forgot what kind he was." ²⁵ Now he who peers into the perfect law, that of freedom, and abides, not becoming a forgetful listener, but a doer of the work, this one will be happy in his doing." ²⁶ If anyone is seeming to be a ritualist, not bridling his tongue, but seducing his heart, the ritual of this one is vain, ²⁷ for ritual clean and undefiled with God the Father is this: to be visiting the bereaved and widowed in their affliction, to be keeping oneself unspotted from the world."

Williams⁽ⁱ⁾ ²² Keep on obeying this message; do not merely listen to it, and so deceive yourselves. ²³ Because if anyone merely listens to the message without obeying it, he is like a man who looks in a mirror at his own face, ²⁴ for he looks and then goes off and at once forgets how he looked. ²⁵ But the man who looks at the flawless law that makes men free, and keeps on looking, proving himself to be, not a forgetful hearer but an actual doer of what it requires, will be blessed in what he does. ²⁶ If anyone thinks he is religious, and does not bridle his tongue, but deceives himself, his religious worship is worthless. ²⁷ A religious worship that is pure and stainless in the sight of God the Father is this: To look after orphans and widows in their trouble, and to keep one's own self unstained by the world.

BBE⁽ⁱ⁾ ²² But be doers of the word, and not only hearers of it, blinding yourselves with false ideas. ²³ Because if any man is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man looking at his natural face in a glass; ²⁴ For after looking at himself he goes away, and in a short time he has no memory of what he was like. ²⁵ But he who goes on looking into the true law which makes him free, being not a hearer without memory but a doer putting it into effect, this man will have a blessing on his acts. ²⁶ If a man seems to have religion and has no control over his tongue but lets himself be tricked by what is false, this man's religion is of no value. ²⁷ The religion which is holy and free from evil in the eyes of our God and Father is this: to take care of children who have no fathers and of widows who are in trouble, and to keep oneself untouched by the world.

MKJV⁽ⁱ⁾ ²² But become doers of the Word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves. ²³ For if anyone is a hearer of the Word and not a doer, he is like a man studying his natural face in a mirror. ²⁴ For he studied himself and went his way, and immediately he forgot what he was like. ²⁵ But whoever looks into the perfect Law of liberty and continues in it, he is not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work.

LITV⁽ⁱ⁾ ²² But become doers of the Word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves. ²³ Because if anyone is a hearer of the Word, and not a doer, this one is like a man studying his natural face in a mirror; ²⁴ for he studied himself, and has gone away, and immediately he forgot of what kind he was. ²⁵ But the one looking into the perfect law of liberty, and continuing in it, this one not having become a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this one will be blessed in his doing. ²⁶ If anyone thinks to be religious among you, yet not bridling his tongue, but deceiving his heart, this one's religion is vain. ²⁷ Pure and undefiled religion before God and the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their afflictions, and to keep oneself unspotted from the world.

JMNT⁽ⁱ⁾ ²² Now you must continuously come to be (or: be progressively birthed) performers of [the] Word (or: makers of collected thought; framers of an idea; authors of a message; producers of reason; [the] Word's doers), and not only hearing ones (listeners; those hearing in an auditorium), continuously deceiving (reckoning aside; miscalculating) yourselves. (another combination of these options yields: So you folks must be progressively birthed to be authors of a message, and not only those in an auditorium, continuously miscalculating yourselves.) ²³ Because if someone is a hearer of [the] Word (a listener to a thought, idea or message) and not a doer (performer; producer), this one is like (resembles) an adult male contemplating (considering; attentively pondering) in a mirror the face of his birth (genesis; origin; existence; generation; lineage; or: = the face with which he was born): ²⁴ for he contemplated himself and has departed, and immediately forgot of what sort (quality; manner) he was. ²⁵ But the one stooping down beside in order to attentively view into (giving a penetrating look into) the perfect (finished and realized; matured; completed; full-grown and fully developed; purposed and destined) law – the one which is freedom (or: the one whose source is, and which has the qualities of, freedom and liberty) – and then remaining (abiding; dwelling) beside [it] – not being birthed (or: coming to be) a hearer of forgetfulness (or: a forgetful listener), but rather a performer of work (a producer of action) – this person will continue being happy and blessed within his performing and in union with his producing. ²⁶ Now if someone habitually supposes [himself] (or: thinks [himself]; presumes; or: constantly appears or seems) to be religious (occupied with rituals and ceremonies), while not habitually guiding his tongue with a bridle, but rather is repeatedly deceiving his heart, the religion (ritual; observance of a religious system) of this person is useless (futile; empty). ²⁷ Pure (clean) and unstained (undefiled) religion, by the side of (= in the presence of) God, even the Father, is this: to habitually visit so as to continuously look upon with the eyes in order to help (or: oversee) orphans and widows within the midst of their pressure (squeezing; distress; ordeal; tribulation); to habitually keep oneself unspotted from the controlling ordered System (or: the world of secular culture, religion, economy and government).

MLV⁽ⁱ⁾ ²² But become doers of the word and not hearers only, deluding yourselves. ²³ Because if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he resembles a man considering his face (which was his from birth) in a mirror. ²⁴ For he has considered himself, and has gone away and immediately forgot what sort of man he was. ²⁵ But he who has peered into the complete law, the law of freedom, and has remained in it, this one, having not become a forgetful hearer, but a doer of works, this one will be fortunate in his doing.
²⁶ If anyone among you thinks himself to be outwardly religious, though he does not bridle his tongue but deceiving his heart; this one’s religion is futile. ²⁷ A clean and undefiled religion with our God and Father is this: to ^{F} visit ^{F} the orphans and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained from the world.

Dan orang yang menyelidiki dan memperhatikan baik-baik serta melakukan hukum-hukum itu, dan bukannya mendengar saja lalu melupakannya, orang itu akan diberkati Allah dalam setiap hal yang dilakukannya. ²⁶ Kalau ada seseorang yang merasa dirinya seorang yang patuh beragama, tetapi ia tidak menjaga lidahnya, maka ia menipu dirinya sendiri; ibadatnya tidak ada gunanya. ²⁷ Ketaatan beragama yang murni dan sejati menurut pandangan Allah Bapa ialah: menolong anak-anak yatim piatu dan janda-janda yang menderita, dan menjaga diri sendiri supaya jangan dirusakkan oleh dunia ini.

Korean⁽ⁱ⁾ ²² 너희는 도를 행하는 자가 되고 듣기만 하여 자신을 속이는 자가 되지 말라 ²³ 누구든지 도를 행하지 아니하면 그는 거울로 자기의 얼굴을 보는 사람과 같으니 ²⁴ 제 자신을 보고 가서 그 모양이 어떠한 것을 곧 잊어 버리거니와 ²⁵ 자유하게 하는 온전한 율법을 들여다 보고 있는 자는 듣고 잊어 버리는 자가 아니요 실행하는 자니 이 사람이 그 행하는 일에 복을 받으리라 ²⁶ 누구든지 스스로 경건하다 생각하며 자기 혀를 재갈 먹이지 아니하고 자기 마음을 속이면 이 사람의 경건은 헛것이라 ²⁷ 하나님 아버지 앞에서 정결하고 더러움이 없는 경건은 곧 고아와 과부를 그 환난 중에 돌아보고 또 자기를 지켜 세속에 물들지 아니하는 이것이니라

Latvian⁽ⁱ⁾ ²² Esiet vārda izpildītāji, bet ne tikai klausītāji, paši sevi apmānīdami, ²³ Jo, ja kāds ir vārda klausītājs, bet ne izpildītājs, tas līdzīgs vīram, kas skata savus sejas vaibstus spogulī. ²⁴ Sevi aplūkojis, tas aiziet un tūliņ aizmirst, kāds viņš bija. ²⁵ Bet kas uzmanīgi ieskatās pilnīgās brīvības likumā un paliek tanī, tas nav palicis aizmāršīgs klausītājs, bet darba darītājs, tas būs svētīgs savā darbībā. ²⁶ Ja kāds domā, ka tas ir dievbijīgs, un nesavalda savu mēli, bet maldina savu sirdi, tad viņa dievbijība ir tukša. ²⁷ Tīra un neaptraipīta dievbijība Dieva Tēva priekšā ir tad, ja apmeklē bēdās bāreņus un atraitnes un sevi pasargā neaptraipītu no šīs pasaules.

Lithuanian⁽ⁱ⁾ ²² Būkite žodžio vykdytojai, o ne vien klausytojai, apgaudinėjantys patys save. ²³ Jei kas tėra žodžio klausytojas, o ne vykdytojas, tai jis panašus į žmogų, kuris žiūri į savo gimtąjį veidą veidrodyje. ²⁴ Pasižiūrėjo į save ir nuėjo, ir bematant pamiršo, koks buvo. ²⁵ Bet kas įsižiūri į tobuląjį laisvės įstatymą ir jį vykdo, kas tampa nebe klausytojas užuomarša, bet darbo vykdytojas, tas bus palaimintas savo darbuose. ²⁶ Jei kas iš jūsų mano esąs pamaldus ir nepažaboja savo liežuvio, bet apgaudinėja savo širdį, to pamaldumas tuščias. ²⁷ Tyras ir nesuteptas pamaldumas prieš Dievą ir Tėvą yra: lankyti našlaičius ir našles jų sielvarte ir saugoti save nesuterštą šiuo pasauliu.

PBG⁽ⁱ⁾ ²² A bądźcie czynicielami słowa, a nie słuchaczami tylko, oszukiwającymi samych siebie. ²³ Albowiem jeźli kto jest słuchaczem słowa a nie czynicielem, ten podobny jest mężowi przypatrującemu się obliczu narodzenia swego we zwierciadle; ²⁴ Bo samego siebie obejrzał i odszedł, a wnet zapomniał, jakim był. ²⁵ Ale kto by wejrzał w on doskonały zakon wolności i zostawałby w nim, ten nie będąc słuchaczem zapamiętliwym, ale czynicielem uczynku, ten błogosławionym będzie w uczynku swoim. ²⁶ Jeźli kto między wami zda się być nabożnym, nie kiełznając języka swego, ale zwodząc serce swe, tego nabożeństwo próżne jest. ²⁷ Nabożeństwo czyste i niepokalane u Boga i Ojca to jest: Nawiedzać sieroty i wdowy w ucisku ich i zachować samego siebie niepokalanym od świata.

Portuguese⁽ⁱ⁾ ²² E sede cumpridores da palavra e não somente ouvintes, enganando-vos a vós mesmos. ²³ Pois se alguém é ouvinte da palavra e não cumpridor, é semelhante a um homem que contempla no espelho o seu rosto natural; ²⁴ porque se contempla a si mesmo e vai-se, e logo se esquece de como era. ²⁵ Entretanto aquele que atenta bem para a lei perfeita, a da liberdade, e nela persevera, não sendo ouvinte esquecido, mas executor da obra, este será bem-aventurado no que fizer. ²⁶ Se alguém cuida ser religioso e não refreia a sua língua, mas engana o seu coração, a sua religião é vã. ²⁷ A religião pura e imaculada diante de nosso Deus e Pai é esta: Visitar os órfãos e as viúvas nas suas aflições e guardar-se isento da corrupção do mundo.

Norwegian⁽ⁱ⁾ ²² Men vær ordets gjørere, og ikke bare dets hørere, idet I dårer eder selv. ²³ For dersom en er ordets hører og ikke dets gjører, da ligner han en mann som ser på sitt naturlige åsyn i et speil: ²⁴ han så på sig selv og gikk bort, og glemte straks hvordan han så ut. ²⁵ Men den som skuer inn i frihetens fullkomne lov og holder ved med det, så han ikke blir en glemsom hører, men gjerningens gjører, han skal være salig i sin gjerning. ²⁶ Dersom en mener at han er en gudsdyrker, og ikke holder sin tunge i tømme, men dårer sitt eget hjerte, hans gudsdyrkelse er forgjeves. ²⁷ En ren og usmittet gudsdyrkelse for Gud og Faderen er dette: å se til farløse og enker i deres trengsel, å holde sig selv uplettet av verden.

Romanian⁽ⁱ⁾ ²² Fiţi împlinitori ai Cuvîntului, nu numai ascultători, înşelîndu-vă singuri. ²³ Căci dacă ascultă cineva Cuvîntul, şi nu -l împlineşte cu fapta, seamănă cu un om, care îşi priveşte faţa firească într'o oglindă; ²⁴ şi, dupăce s'a privit, pleacă şi uită îndată cum era. ²⁵ Dar cine îşi va adînci privirile în legea desăvîrşită, care este legea slobozeniei, şi va stărui în ea, nu ca un ascultător uituc, ci ca un împlinitor cu fapta, va fi fericit în lucrarea lui. ²⁶ Dacă crede cineva că este religios, şi nu-şi înfrînează limba, ci îşi înşeală inima, religiunea unui astfel de om este zădarnică. ²⁷ Religiunea curată şi neîntinată, înaintea lui Dumnezeu, Tatăl nostru, este să cercetăm pe orfani şi pe văduve în necazurile lor, şi să ne păzim neîntinaţi de lume.

Ukrainian⁽ⁱ⁾ ²² Будьте ж виконавцями слова, а не слухачами самими, що себе самих обманюють. ²³ Бо хто слухач слова, а не виконавець, той подібний людині, що риси обличчя свого розглядає у дзеркалі, ²⁴ бо розгляне себе та й відійде, і зараз забуде, яка вона є. ²⁵ А хто заглядає в закон досконалий, закон волі, і в нім пробуває, той не буде забудько слухач, але виконавець діла, і він буде блаженний у діянні своїм! ²⁶ Коли ж хто гадає, що він побожний, і свого язика не вгамовує, та своє серце обманює, марна побожність того! ²⁷ Чиста й непорочна побожність перед Богом і Отцем оця: зглянутися над сиротами та вдовицями в утисках їхніх, себе берегти чистим від світу.

UkrainianNT⁽ⁱ⁾ ²² Будьте ж чинителями слова, а не тілько слухателями, обманюючи себе самих. ²³ Бо, коли хто слухатель слова, а ие чинитель, той подобен чоловікові, що дивить ся на природне лице своє в зеркалї. ²⁴ Подививсь бо на себе, та й одійшов, та зараз і забув, який він був. ²⁵ Хто ж дивить ся в звершений закон свободи, та й пробував в ньому, той не слухатель забуваючий, а чинитель діла; такий буде щасливий у дїланню своїм. ²⁶ Коли хто думав, що він вірен між вами, не уздаючи язика свого, а обманюючи серце своє, у того марна віра. ²⁷ Ото бо віра чиста і неопоганена перед Богом і Отцем, щоб одвідувати сиріт і вдовиць у горю їх, і держати себе неопоганеним од сьвіта.
