rḗ - lij´un : "Religion" and "religious" in Elizabethan English were used frequently to denote the outward expression of worship. This is the force of φρησκεία , thrēskeia , translated "religion" in Acts 26:5; James 1:26 , James 1:27 (with adjective thrḗskos , "religious"), while the same noun in Colossians 2:18 is rendered "worshipping" ("cult" would give the exact meaning). And in the same external sense "religion" is used by the King James Version for λατρεία , latreı́a , "worship" (so the Revised Version (British and American)), in 1 Macc 1:43; 2:19, 22. Otherwise "Jews' religion" (or "religion of the Jews") appears in 2 Macc 8:1; 14:38 (the Revised Version (British and American) bis); Galatians 1:13 , Galatians 1:14 ( Ἰουδαΐσμός , Ioudaismós , "Judaism"); and "an alien religion" in 2 Macc 6:24 (ἀλλοφυλισμός , allophulismós , "that belonging to another tribe"). The neglect of the external force of "religion" has led to much reckless misquoting of James 1:26 , James 1:27 . Compare Acts 17:22 . See SUPERSTITION .
