James 1:22-27

Sawyer(i) 22 But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves. 23 For if any one is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man perceiving his natural face in a glass; 24 for he perceived himself, and went away, and immediately forgot what kind of a man he was. 25 But he that looks into the perfect law of liberty and continues in it, not being a forgetful hearer but a doer of work, he shall be blessed in his doing. 26 But if any one among you thinks he is religious, and bridles not his tongue, but deceives his mind, that man's religion is vain. 27 Pure religion and undefiled with the God and Father is this, to visit the orphans and widows in their affliction, and to keep one's self unspotted from the world.
