Yakobus 1:26-27

1:26 If someone thinks he is religious yet does not bridle his tongue, and so deceives his heart, his religion is futile. 1:27 Pure and undefiled religion before ¹  God the Father ²  is this: to care for orphans and widows in their misfortune and to keep oneself unstained by the world.

¹ tn Or “in the sight of”; Grk “with.”

² tn Grk “the God and Father.”
