You must find the greatest joy, my brothers, in being involved in various trials,

but one who is rich ought to rejoice at being reduced in circumstances, for the rich will disappear like the wild flowers.

No one should think when he is tempted that his temptation comes from God, for God is incapable of being tempted by what is evil, and he does not tempt anyone.

Of his own accord he brought us into being through the message of truth, so that we might be a kind of first-fruits among his creatures.

but no human being can tame the tongue. It is an irreconcilable evil, full of deadly poison.
