26 If anyone thinks himself to be religious, yet does not bridle his tongue but deceives his own heart, this person’s religion is worthless. 27 Pure and undefiled religion in the sight of our God and Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their distress, and to keep oneself unstained by the world.
Verse 26:
This verse is talking about controlling his tongue, as one bible says it.
This means we must watch what we say and how we use our tongues.
We think we are doing faithful things but then do nonfaith things our faith is worthless.
The Futility of Life.
For the music director, for Jeduthun. A Psalm of David.
39 I said, “I will keep watch over my ways
So that I do not sin with my tongue;
I will keep watch over my mouth as with a muzzle
While the wicked are in my presence.” Psalm 39:1
Verse 27:
God is holy and pure and that is what He wants us to be.
One Bible uses the word faultless.
God wants to be free from faults.
To do this we need to do the thing listed in the verses and that is to visit orphans, and widows in distress, and keep yourself unstained from the world.
13 for it is not the hearers of the Law who are righteous before God, but the doers of the Law who will be justified. Romans 2:13
