Ways to keep oneself unstained

Jacques 1:27 (NEG79)

27 La religion pure et sans tache, devant Dieu notre Père, consiste à visiter les orphelins et les veuves dans leurs afflictions, et à se préserver des souillures du monde.

We must avoid the defilement of the world's system in its attacks and enticements on our lust. We do that in three ways. [One can remember these three ways as the three Cs, since all three] words start with a C. We maintain a pure conscience; we maintain communion with God; and we promote and maintain contempt with the world.1
