James 1:24-26
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
24 For he considered himself and has gone-away and immediately forgot[a] what-sort of man he was. 25 But the one having looked into the perfect law of liberty and having continued, not having become a forgetful[b] hearer, but a doer of work— this one will be blessed in his doing. 26 If anyone thinks that he is religious while not bridling[c] his tongue, but deceiving his heart, the religion[d] of this one is worthless[e].

King James Version
24 For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was.
25 But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.
26 If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man's religion is vain.
