James 1:26-27
1:26 If someone thinks he is religious yet does not bridle his tongue, and so deceives his heart, his religion is futile.
1:27 Pure and undefiled religion before 1 God the Father 2 is this: to care for orphans and widows in their misfortune and to keep oneself unstained by the world.
1 tn Or “in the sight of”; Grk “with.”
