22. Be doers of the word and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.
23. For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man viewing his natural face in a mirror.
24. He views himself, and goes his way, and immediately forgets what kind of man he was.
25. But whoever looks into the perfect law of liberty, and continues in it, and is not a forgetful hearer but a doer of the work, this man will be blessed in his deeds.
26. If anyone among you seems to be religious and does not bridle his tongue, but deceives his own heart, this man’s religion is vain.
27. Religion that is pure and undefiled before God, the Father, is this: to visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction and to keep oneself unstained by the world.
