James 1:26

Doers Of The Message, Not Just Hearers

²⁵ But he that fixes his view on the perfect law, that of liberty, and abides in it, being not a forgetful hearer but a doer of the work, he shall be blessed in his doing. ²⁶ If any one think himself to be religious, not bridling his tongue, but deceiving his heart, this man's religion is vain. ²⁷ Pure and undefiled religion before God and the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their affliction, to keep oneself unspotted from the world.
