Today’s Thought

22be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.
. . . .
26If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man’s religion is vain. 27Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.

James 1:22 be, 26, 27 KJV King James Version

22Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says.
. . . .
26Those who consider themselves religious and yet do not keep a tight rein on their tongues deceive themselves, and their religion is worthless. 27 Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.

James 1:22, 26, 26 NIV New International Version
