In context
23 For if any is a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like a man beholding his natural face in a glass:
24 For he beholdeth himself, and goeth away, and immediately forgetteth what manner of man he was.
25 But he who looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth [in it], he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.
26 If any man among you seemeth to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man's religion [is] vain.
27 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.
