James 1:24-26
Legacy Standard Bible

24 for once he looked at himself and has gone away, [a]he immediately forgot what kind of person he was. 25 But one who looks intently at the perfect law, (A)the law of freedom, and abides by it, not having become a forgetful hearer but a doer of the work, this man will be (B)blessed in [b]what he does.

26 If anyone thinks himself to be religious while not [c](C)bridling his tongue but deceiving his own heart, this man’s religion is worthless.

James 1:24-26
New International Version

24 and, after looking at himself, goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like. 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.

Yaakov 1:24-26
Orthodox Jewish Bible

24 For he observed himself and has gone away and immediately forgot what he looked like.

25 But the one having peered into the Torah HaShleimah (the Perfect Torah), the Torah HaCherut (the Torah of Freedom), and there remaining, not as a forgetful listener but one who is shomer mitzvot and goes into action, this one will have a bracha on his head in all his acts. [TEHILLIM 19:7]

26 If anyone considers himself to be one of the Charedim (Orthodox, G-dfearing Jewish religious ones), yet has lashon hora and does not bridle his tongue but instead causes his lev to fall under remiyah (deceit), this one’s chasidus (piety) is worthless. [TEHILLIM 34:13; 39:1; 141:3]
