James 1:26 in Context — James 1
24 Porque él se consideró á sí mismo, y se fué, y luego se olvidó qué tal era.
25 Mas el que hubiere mirado atentamente en la perfecta ley, [que es] la de la libertad, y perseverado [en ella], no siendo oidor olvidadizo, sino hacedor de la obra, este tal será bienaventurado en su hecho.
26 Si alguno piensa ser religioso entre vosotros, y no refrena su lengua, sino engañando su corazón, la religión del tal es vana.
27 La religión pura y sin mácula delante de Dios y Padre es esta: Visitar los huérfanos y las viudas en sus tribulaciones, y guardarse sin mancha de este mundo.
