James 1:23-27

If you just listen to the word, and don't act on it, it's like staring at your own face in a mirror.

You see yourself, but then you leave, and immediately forget what you looked like.

But if you look to the perfect law of freedom and follow it, not as someone who just listens and then forgets, but as someone who acts on it—then you will be blessed in what you do.

If you think you're religious, but don't control what you say, you deceive yourself—your religion is pointless.

In the eyes of our God and Father, religion that's pure and genuine is to visit orphans and widows in their suffering, and to keep yourself from being contaminated by the world.
