For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass: |
For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man observing his natural face in a mirror; |
For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man who looks at his natural face in a mirror; |
|
Anyone who listens to the word but does not do what it says is like a man who looks at his face in a mirror |
For if anyone only listens to the Word without obeying it and being a doer of it, he is like a man who looks carefully at his [own] natural face in a mirror; |
because if, as is the case, anyone is a hearer of the Word and not a doer; this one is like a man attentively considering in a mirror the face with which he was born. |
|
The man who simply hears and does nothing about it is like a man catching the reflection of his natural face in a mirror. |
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, |
For 3754 if any 1536 be 2076 a hearer 202 of the word, 3056 and 2532 not 3756 a doer, 4163 he 3778 is like unto 1503 a man 435 beholding 2657 his 846 natural 1078 face 4383 in 1722 a glass: 2072 |
