Quote from: MusicLover123 on February 02, 2018, 02:00:46 AMI am unsure of James 1:27 and its usage of Pure and True Religion
The NT was originally in Aramaic.  3 translations directly from the original Aramaic, using the Peshi+ta tool at dukhrana.com:

James 1:27
(Etheridge) For the service [Teshmeshtho, ministry.] which is pure and true before Aloha the Father, is this,
to visit the orphans and widows in their afflictions, and that a man keep himself from the world without blemish.
(Murdock) For the worship that is pure and holy before God the Father, is this:
to visit the fatherless and the widows in their affliction, and that one keep himself unspotted from the world.
(Lamsa) For a pure and holy ministry before God, the Father, is this,
To visit the fatherless and the widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.

(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.
