James 1:21-27

[21] Wherefore  lay apart  all  filthiness  and  superfluity  of naughtiness,  and receive  with  meekness  the engrafted  word,  which  is able  to save  souls.  [22] But  be ye  doers  of the word,  and  not  hearers  only,  deceiving  your own selves.  [23] For  a hearer  of the word,  and  not  a doer,  he  is like  unto a man  beholding  his  natural  face  in  a glass:  [24] For  he beholdeth  himself,  and  goeth his way,  and  straightway  forgetteth  what manner of man  [25] But  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  blessed  in  his  deed.  [26] seem  religious,  and bridleth  not  his  tongue,  but  deceiveth  his own  heart,  religion  is vain.  [27] Pure  religion  and  undefiled  before  God  and  the Father  this,  To visit  the fatherless  and  widows  in  their  affliction,  and to keep  himself  unspotted  from  the world.
