But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves by false reasoning.

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.

then you will have made false distinctions among yourselves and will have judged from evil motives, will you not?

But if you have bitter jealousy and faction in your heart, do not be boasting of that, and be false to the truth.

where false zeal, and a spirit of contention reign, there confusion and every vice prevail.

O you who are false to God, do you not see that the friends of this world are not God's friends? Every man desiring to be a friend of this world makes himself a hater of God.

Come near to God and he will come near to you. Make your hands clean, you evil-doers; put away deceit from your hearts, you false in mind.

Therefore, confess your sins to one another [your false steps, your offenses], and pray for one another, that you may be healed and restored. The heartfelt and persistent prayer of a righteous man (believer) can accomplish much [when put into action and made effective by God—it is dynamic and can have tremendous power].
