James 1:22-27 ▼

22 and become doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves,

23 because, if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, this one has been like to a man viewing his natural face in a mirror,

24 for he viewed himself, and has gone away, and immediately he forgot what kind of [man] he was;

25 but he who looked into [the] perfect law—that of liberty, and continued there, not becoming a forgetful hearer, but a doer of work—this one will be blessed in his doing.

26 If anyone thinks to be religious among you, not bridling his tongue, but deceiving his heart, the religion of this one [is] vain;

27 religion pure and undefiled with the God and Father is this: to look after orphans and widows in their tribulation—to keep himself unspotted from the world.
