RELIGION . The word ‘religion,’ wherever it occurs in AV [Note: Authorized Version.] , signifies not the inner spirit of the religious life, but its outward expression. It is thus used of one form of religion as distinguished from another; as in 2Ma 14:36 , where the same word is translated in the middle of the verse ‘Judaism,’ and in the end of it ‘the religion of the Jews.’ It is also used by St. James ( James 1:26-27 ) to contrast moral acts with ritual forms.
