Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness nor shadow of turning.

For if there comes a gold-fingered man in fancy clothing into your assembly, and if there also comes in a poor man in shabby clothing,

By this we bless God, even the Father. And by this we curse men, who have come into being according to the image of God.

From where do wars and fightings among you come? Is it not from this, from your lusts which war in your members?

Come now, those saying, Today or tomorrow we will go into such a city and spend a year there, and we will trade and will make a profit,

Come now, rich ones, weep and howl for your hardships coming on.
