But let endurance have a perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting in nothing.

But if any one of you is wanting in wisdom, let him ask of God, who giveth to all liberally, and upbraideth not; and it will be given him.

But let him ask in faith, nothing doubting; for he that doubteth is like a wave of the sea driven by the wind and tossed.

Let no one when he is tempted, say, I am tempted by God; for God cannot be tempted with evil, and he tempteth no one.

But each one is tempted when by his own lust he is led away and enticed;

Of his own will he begot us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures.

Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath.

But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.

But he who looks into the perfect law of liberty, and remains there, being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man will be blessed in his deed.

Hearken, my beloved brethren. Did not God choose the poor as to the world to be rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which he promised to them that love him?

Do not they blaspheme the worthy name by which ye are called?

But if ye have respect to persons, ye commit sin, and are convicted by the law as transgressors.

So speak, and so do, as they that shall be judged by the law of liberty.

For the judgment shall be without mercy to him that showed no mercy. Mercy glorieth against judgment.

If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food,

and one of you say to them, Depart in peace, be warmed and be filled, notwithstanding ye give them not the things needful for the body, what doth it profit?

But some one will say, Thou hast faith, and I have works; show me thy faith without works, and I will show thee my faith by my works.

Thou seest that faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect.

Ye see that by works a man is accounted as righteous, and not by faith only.

My brethren, be not many teachers, knowing that we shall receive the greater condemnation.

Behold also the ships, which, though they are so great, and driven by fierce winds, are yet turned about with a very small rudder, whithersoever the steersman chooseth.

And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity! The tongue among our members is that which defileth the whole body, and setteth on fire the wheel of life, and is itself set on fire by hell.

For every kind of beasts and of birds, of creeping things and things in the sea, is tamed and hath been tamed by mankind;

out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be.

Who is wise and endued with knowledge among you P let him show out of a good course of conduct his works in meekness of wisdom.

But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, easy to be entreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, without hypocrisy.

And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace.

Ye adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? Whoever therefore chooseth to be a friend of the world, becometh an enemy of God.

Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep; let your laughter be turned into mourning, and your joy into heaviness.

(whereas ye know not what will be on the morrow; for what is your life? Ye are even a vapor, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away;)

your gold and silver is rusted, and the rust of them will be a witness against you, and will eat your flesh as fire; ye have heaped up treasure in the last days!

Behold, the hire of the laborers who reaped your fields, which is fraudulently kept back by you, crieth out; and the cries of those who reaped have entered into the ears of the Lord of Hosts.

Be patient therefore, brethren, until the coming of the Lord. Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, and is patient about it, until it hath received the early and latter rain.

Be ye also patient, establish your hearts, for the coming of the Lord draweth nigh.

Murmur not against each other, brethren, that ye be not judged. Behold, the Judge standeth before the door.

But above all things, my brethren, swear not; neither by heaven, nor by the earth, nor by any other oath; but let your yea be yea, and your nay, nay; that ye fall not under condemnation.

And the prayer of faith will save the sick, and the Lord will raise him up; even if he have committed sins, it shall be forgiven him.

Confess your trespasses to one another, and pray for one another, that ye may be healed. The earnest prayer of a righteous man availeth much.

Brethren, if any one among you be led astray from the truth, and one convert him,
