But he must ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea that is driven and tossed by the wind.

But the brother of humble circumstances is to glory in his high position;

But each one is tempted when he is carried away and enticed by his own desire.

This you know, my beloved brethren. But everyone must be quick to hear, slow to speak and slow to anger,

But prove yourselves doers of the word, and not merely hearers who deceive themselves.

But one who looks intently into the perfect law, the law of liberty, and abides by it, not having become a forgetful hearer but a doer that acts, this man will be blessed in what he does.

If anyone thinks himself to be religious, and yet does not bridle his tongue but deceives his own heart, this man's religion is worthless.

But you have dishonored the poor man. Is it not the rich who oppress you? Is it not they who drag you into court?

But if you show partiality, you commit sin, and are convicted by the law as transgressors.

For he who said, "Do not commit adultery," said also, "Do not murder." If you do not commit adultery but do commit murder, you have become a transgressor of the law.

What good is it, my brethren, if a man says he has faith but has no works? Can such faith save him?

But someone will 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.

But are you willing to know, O foolish man, that faith without works is useless?

If we put bits into the mouths of horses that they may obey us, we guide their whole bodies.

But no man can tame the tongue. It is a restless evil, full of deadly poison.

But if you have bitter jealousy and selfish ambition in your hearts, do not boast and be false to the truth.

This wisdom is not such as comes down from above, but is earthly, unspiritual, demonic.

But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, open to reason, full of mercy and good fruits, without uncertainty or hypocrisy.

But he gives more grace. Therefore it says, "God opposes the proud, but gives grace to the humble."

Do not speak against one another, brethren. He who speaks against a brother or judges his brother, speaks against the law and judges the law. But if you judge the law, you are not a doer of the law but a judge of it.

There is only one Lawgiver and Judge, the one who is able to save and destroy. But youwho are you to judge your neighbor?

You have condemned and put to death the righteous man; he does not resist you.

But above all, my brethren, do not swear, either by heaven or by earth or with any other oath, but let your yes be yes and your no be no, that you may not fall under condemnation.
