Bible on Nostr: These things indeed have an appearance of wisdom in self-imposed religion, [false] ...

These things indeed have an appearance of wisdom in self-imposed religion, [false] humility, and neglect of the body, [but are] of no value against the indulgence of the flesh. - Col 2:23 NKJV
If anyone among you thinks he is religious, and does not bridle his tongue but deceives his own heart, this one's religion [is] useless. Pure and undefiled religion before God and the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their trouble, [and] to keep oneself unspotted from the world. - Jas 1:26-27 NKJV

It wouldn't be a bad thing if mankind was a bit more religious.
