James 1:26-27

James 1:26-27 AMP

If anyone thinks himself to be religious [scrupulously observant of the rituals of his faith], and does not control his tongue but deludes his own heart, this person’s religion is worthless (futile, barren). Pure and unblemished religion [as it is expressed in outward acts] in the sight of our God and Father is this: to visit andlook after the fatherless and the widows in their distress, and to keep oneself uncontaminated by the [secular] world.
