Let no one say when he is tempted, “I am being tempted by God”; for God cannot be tempted by evil, and He Himself does not tempt anyone.

What use is it, my brethren, if someone says he has faith but he has no works? Can that faith save him?

and one of you says to them, “Go in peace, be warmed and be filled,” and yet you do not give them what is necessary for their body, what use is that?

But someone may well say, “You have faith and I have works; show me your faith without the works, and I will show you my faith by my works.”

For we all stumble in many ways. If anyone does not stumble in what he says, he is a perfect man, able to bridle the whole body as well.

But He gives a greater grace. Therefore it says, “God is opposed to the proud, but gives grace to the humble.”

Instead, you ought to say, “If the Lord wills, we will live and also do this or that.”
