James 1:26

Doers Of The Message, Not Just Hearers

²⁵ But the man who looks closely into the perfect law??he law of liberty??nd continues looking, this man will be blessed in his deed because he is not a hearer who forgets, but a doer who does. ²⁶ If a man thinks himself to be religious, and yet does not bridle his tongue, but deceives his own religion, ²⁷ and undefiled before our God and Father, to look after orphans and widows in their affliction, and ever to keep himself unspotted from the world.
