James
Chapters 1:23-27
Revised Version 1885
23For if any one is a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a mirror:
24for he beholdeth himself, and goeth away, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was.
25But he that looketh into the perfect law, the law of liberty, and so continueth, being not a hearer that forgetteth, but a doer that worketh, this man shall be blessed in his doing.
26If any man thinketh himself to be religious, while he bridleth not his tongue but deceiveth his heart, this man's religion is vain.
27Pure religion and undefiled before our God and Father is this, to visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.
