James 1:27

Θρησκεία καθαρὰ καὶ ἀμίαντος παρὰ Θεῷ καὶ Πατρὶ αὕτη ἐστίν, ἐπισκέπτεσθαι ὀρφανοὺς καὶ χήρας ἐν τῇ θλίψει αὐτῶν, ἄσπιλον ἑαυτὸν τηρεῖν ἀπὸ τοῦ κόσμου.
Thrēskeia kathara kai amiantos para Theō kai Patri aytē estin, episkeptesthai orphanoys kai chēras en tē thlipsei aytōn, aspilon eayton tērein apo toy kosmoy.
King James Version (KJV)

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.

Modern English

Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.
