²⁶ If anyone among you [1] thinks he is religious, and does not bridle his tongue but deceives his own heart, this one's religion is useless.

²⁶ If a man seems to have religion and has no control over his tongue but lets himself be tricked by what is false, this man's religion is of no value.

²⁶ Those who consider themselves religious and yet do not keep a tight rein on their tongues deceive themselves, and their religion is worthless.
