James 1:26-27
26If anyone thinks himself to be religious, yet does not 12bridle his tongue but deceives his own heart, this person’s religion is worthless.
27Pure and undefiled religion 3in the sight of our God and Father is this: to 4visit 5orphans and widows in their distress, and to keep oneself unstained 6by 7the world.
