James 1:25 in Context — James 1

23 Pois, se alguém é ouvinte da palavra e não praticante, esse é semelhante a um homem que observa num espelho o seu rosto natural;

24 porque observou a si mesmo e saiu, e logo se esqueceu de como era.

25 Mas aquele que dá atenção à lei perfeita, a da liberdade, e [nela] persevera, não sendo ouvinte que esquece, mas sim praticante da obra, esse tal será bendito no que fizer.

26 Se alguém entre vós pensa ser religioso, mas não controla a sua língua, então engana o seu próprio coração, e a religião desse é vã.

27 A religião pura e não contaminada para com Deus e Pai é esta: visitar os órfãos e as viúvas nas suas aflições, e guardar-se sem a corrupção do mundo.
