Be doers of the word, and not merely hearers who deceive themselves that they are righteous... those who look into the perfect law of liberty and persevere by action will be blessed in their doing. If any think they are of the Way, and do not restrain their speech and deceive their hearts, their religion is worthless. What is pure and undefiled before the Father is to worship by caring for orphans and widows in their distress, and to keep one's life untainted by worldliness."
James 1:22-27
