If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man’s religion [is] vain.
Berean Study Bible (BSB) - James 1:26 >If anyone considers himself religious and yet does not bridle his tongue, he deceives his heart and his religion is worthless.
Textus Receptus (TR) - James 1:26 >Εἴ τις δοκεῖ θρῆσκος εἶναι ἐν ὑμῖν, μὴ χαλιναγωγῶν γλῶσσαν αὐτοῦ, ἀλλ᾿ ἀπατῶν καρδίαν αὐτοῦ, τούτου μάταιος ἡ θρησκεία.
