James 1:25-27
New American Standard Bible 1995
25 But one who looks intently at the perfect law, (A)the law of liberty, and abides by it, not having become a forgetful hearer but [a]an effectual doer, this man will be (B)blessed in [b]what he does.
26 If anyone thinks himself to be religious, and yet does not [c](C)bridle his tongue but deceives his own heart, this man’s religion is worthless. 27 Pure and undefiled religion (D)in the sight of our God and Father is this: to (E)visit (F)orphans and widows in their distress, and to keep oneself unstained [d]by (G)the world.

James 1:25-27
New International Version
25 But whoever looks intently into the perfect law that gives freedom,(A) and continues in it—not forgetting what they have heard, but doing it—they will be blessed in what they do.(B)
26 Those who consider themselves religious and yet do not keep a tight rein on their tongues(C) deceive themselves, and their religion is worthless. 27 Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after(D) orphans and widows(E) in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.(F)
