New Testament

James 1:20-27 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

20. for the wrath of man does not work the righteousness of Elohim.

21. Therefore put away all filthiness and overflow of evil, and receive with meekness the implanted Word, which is able to save your lives.

22. And become doers of the Word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.

23. Because if anyone is a hearer of the Word and not a doer, he is like a man who looks at his natural face in a mirror,

24. for he looks at himself, and goes away, and immediately forgets what he was like.

25. But he that looked into the perfect Torah, that of freedom, and continues in it, not becoming a hearer that forgets, but a doer of work, this one shall be blessed in his doing of the Torah.

26. If anyone among you thinks he is religious, and does not bridle his tongue but deceives his own heart, this one’s religion is worthless.

27. Clean and undefiled religion before the Elohim and Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained from the world.
