James 1:24-26
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
24 For he considered himself and has gone-away and immediately forgot[a] what-sort of man he was. 25 But the one having looked into the perfect law of liberty and having continued, not having become a forgetful[b] hearer, but a doer of work— this one will be blessed in his doing. 26 If anyone thinks that he is religious while not bridling[c] his tongue, but deceiving his heart, the religion[d] of this one is worthless[e].

James 1:24-26
New International Version
24 and, after looking at himself, goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like. 25 But whoever looks intently into the perfect law that gives freedom,(A) and continues in it—not forgetting what they have heard, but doing it—they will be blessed in what they do.(B)
26 Those who consider themselves religious and yet do not keep a tight rein on their tongues(C) deceive themselves, and their religion is worthless.
