James 1:26-27
New American Standard Bible
26 If anyone thinks himself to be religious, yet does not [a](A)bridle his tongue but deceives his own heart, this person’s religion is worthless. 27 Pure and undefiled religion (B)in the sight of our God and Father is this: to (C)visit (D)orphans and widows in their distress, and to keep oneself unstained [b]by (E)the world.
