Verse
James - ch 1 v 21 - 27
- Therefore, putting away all filthiness and overflowing of wickedness, receive with humility the implanted word, which is able to save your souls1.
- But be doers of the word, and not only hearers, deluding your own selves.
- For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man looking at his natural face in a mirror;
- for he sees himself, and goes away, and immediately forgets what kind of man he was.
- But he who looks into the perfect law of freedom, and continues, not being a hearer who forgets, but a doer of the work, this man will be blessed in what he does.
- If anyone among you thinks himself to be religious while he doesn't bridle his tongue, but deceives his heart, this man's religion is worthless.
- Pure religion and undefiled before our God and Father is this: to visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained by the world.
- or, preserve your life.
