James 1:27 - Plain English Version

²⁷ And God also wants you to look after people that need help. He wants you to look after people that haven’t got any money to buy food, like kids that haven’t got a mother or a father, or women whose husbands have died. If you do that sort of thing, God will be happy with you. But God will not be happy with you if you just look after yourself, like the people that belong to this world do.

Romans 12:2

Don’t be like most of the people in the world that like to do bad things. You have to be different from them. You have to let God change the way you think, so that you will become new people.

James 4:4

If you are like that, it shows that you left God. You stopped following him and joined the other people in the world that hate God. They are God’s enemies.

1 Timothy 5:4

But if a widow has family, that is, if she has some kids or grand-kids that are old enough to look after her, then they have to do that. It is not the church’s job.

If we do that, God is happy with us.
