26 If anyone thinks himself to be religious while not [a](A)bridling his tongue but deceiving his own heart, this man’s religion is worthless. 27 Pure and undefiled religion (B)before our God and Father is this: to (C)visit (D)orphans and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained [b]by (E)the world.

New International Version
26 Those who consider themselves religious and yet do not keep a tight rein on their tongues(A) deceive themselves, and their religion is worthless. 27 Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after(B) orphans and widows(C) in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.(D)
