1:27Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.
1:22But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.
1:23For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass:
1:24For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was.
1:25But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.
1:26If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man's religion is vain.
1:27Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.
