James 1:22-27

22But be ye doers of [the] word and not hearers only, beguiling yourselves. 23For if any man be a hearer of [the] word and not a doer, he is like to a man considering his natural face in a mirror: 24for he has considered himself and is gone away, and straightway he has forgotten what he was like. 25But he that fixes his view on [the] perfect law, that of liberty, and abides in [it], being not a forgetful hearer but a doer of [the] work, he shall be blessed in his doing. 26If any one think himself to be religious, not bridling his tongue, but deceiving his heart, this man's religion is vain. 27Pure and undefiled religion before 1God and the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their affliction, to keep oneself unspotted from the world.
