James 1:23-27

23For if someone merely listens to the message and does not live it out, he is like someone who gazes at his own face in a mirror.

24For he gazes at himself and then goes out and immediately forgets what sort of person he was.

25But the one who peers into the perfect law of liberty and fixes his attention there, and does not become a forgetful listener but one who lives it out – he will be blessed in what he does.

26If someone thinks he is religious yet does not bridle his tongue, and so deceives his heart, his religion is futile.

27Pure and undefiled religion before God the Father is this: to care for orphans and widows in their misfortune and to keep oneself unstained by the world.
