James 1:25-27

Disciples’ Literal New Testament

²⁵ But the one having looked into the perfect law of liberty and having continued, not having become a forgetful^[a] hearer, but a doer of work— this one will be blessed in his doing. ²⁶ If anyone thinks that he is religious while not bridling^[b] his tongue, but deceiving his heart, the religion^[c] of this one is worthless^[d]. ²⁷ This is pure and undefiled religion before our God and Father— to be looking-after orphans and widows in their affliction; to be keeping oneself unspotted by the world.
