My brothers, stop trying to maintain your faith in our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious presence of God on earth, along with acts of partiality to certain ones.

What is the advantage, my brethren, if any one say that he has faith, and he hath not works, can faith alone save him?

Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone.

You see that a man (believer) is justified by works and not by faith alone [that is, by acts of obedience a born-again believer reveals his faith].

Lo! the ships also, large as they are, and, by rough winds, driven along, are turned about by a very small helm, whithersoever the impulse of the steersman inclineth.

One alone is the legislator, who passes sentence; it is He who is able to save and to destroy; who are you, to judge your neighbour?
