WHAT IS PURE RELIGION?

For if any be a hearer of the word, 
and not a doer, he is like unto a man 
beholding his natural face in a glass:
For he beholdeth himself, and goeth 
his way, and straightway forgetteth 
what manner of man he was.  But 
whoso looketh into the perfect law 
of liberty, and continueth therein, 
he being not a forgetful hearer, 
but a doer of the work, this man 
shall be blessed in his deed.  If 
any man among you seem to be 
religious, and bridleth not his 
tongue, but deceiveth his own 
heart, this man’s religion is vain.
Pure 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 1:23-27
