Unchecked Copy Box Jas 1:23

Jas 1:23 - For if^G1487 anyone^G5100 is a hearer^G202 of the word^G3056 and not a doer^G4163, he is^G1503 like^G1503 a man^G435 who looks^G2657 at^G2657 his [fn]natural^G1078 face^G4383 in a mirror^G2072;

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Jas 1:24

If^G1487 anyone^G5100 thinks^G1380 himself to be religious^G2357, yet does not [fn]bridle^G5468 his tongue^G1100 but deceives^G538 his own heart^G2588, this^G3778 person’s^G3778 religion^G2356 is worthless^G3152.

Jas 1:27 - Pure^G2513 and undefiled^G283 religion^G2356 in the sight^G3844 of our God^G2316 and Father^G3962 is this^G3778: to visit^G1980 orphans^G3737 and widows^G5503 in their distress^G2347, and to keep^G5083 oneself^G1438 unstained^G784 [fn]by the world^G2889.
