You see through love, and that deludes your sight, As what is straight seems crooked through the water.

James 1:26:
Those who consider themselves religious and yet do not keep a tight rein on their tongues deceive themselves, and their religion is worthless.
(NIV)
If anyone thinks himself to be religious (piously observant of the external duties of his faith) and does not bridle his tongue but deludes his own heart, this person's religious service is worthless (futile, barren).
(AMP)
If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man's religion is vain.
(KJV)

Galatians 6:7:
Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. People reap what they sow.
(NIV)
Do not be deceived and deluded and misled; God will not allow Himself to be sneered at (scorned, disdained, or mocked by mere pretensions or professions, or by His precepts being set aside.) [He inevitably deludes himself who attempts to delude God.] For whatever a man sows, that and that only is what he will reap.
(AMP)
Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.
(KJV)

Romans 5:5:
And hope does not put us to shame, because God's love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us.
(NIV)
Such hope never disappoints or deludes or shames us, for God's love has been poured out in our hearts through the Holy Spirit Who has been given to us.
(AMP)
And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.
(KJV)
