James 1:25-27
New English Translation

25 But the one who peers into the perfect law of liberty and fixes his attention there,[a] and does not become a forgetful listener but one who lives it out—he[b] will be blessed in what he does.[c] 26 If someone thinks he is religious yet does not bridle his tongue, and so deceives his heart, his religion is futile. 27 Pure and undefiled religion before[d] God the Father[e] is this: to care for orphans and widows in their adversity[f] and to keep oneself unstained by the world.
