How blessed is the man who endures temptation! When he has passed the test, he will receive the victor's crown of life that God has promised to those who keep on loving him.

Nevertheless, you are doing the right thing if you obey the royal Law in keeping with the Scripture, "You must love your neighbor as yourself."

The tongue is a fire, a world of evil. Placed among the parts of our bodies, the tongue contaminates the whole body and sets on fire the course of life, and is itself set on fire by hell.

Or do you think the Scripture means nothing when it says that the Spirit that God caused to live in us jealously yearns for us?

You do not know what tomorrow will bring. What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes.

Instead you should say, "If the Lord wants us to, we will live and do this or that."
