When someone is tempted, he should not say, "I am being tempted by God," because God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does he tempt anyone.

For human anger does not produce the righteousness that God desires.

But the one who looks at the perfect law of freedom and remains committed to it thereby demonstrating that he is not a forgetful hearer but a doer of what that law requires will be blessed in what he does.

If anyone thinks that he is religious and does not bridle his tongue, but instead deceives himself, his religion is worthless.

What good does it do, my brothers, if someone claims to have faith but does not prove it with actions? This kind of faith cannot save him, can it?

Suppose a brother or sister does not have any clothes or daily food

and one of you tells them, "Go in peace! Stay warm and eat heartily." If you do not provide for their bodily needs, what good does it do?

In the same way, faith by itself, if it does not prove itself with actions, is dead.

For all of us make many mistakes. If someone does not make any mistakes when he speaks, he is perfect and able to control his whole body.

That kind of wisdom does not come from above. No, it is worldly, self-centered, and demonic.
