Let no one say, when he is tempted, "It is God who is tempting me!" For God, who cannot be tempted to do wrong, does not himself tempt any one.

For the anger of man does not forward the righteous purpose of God.

For, when any one listens to it and does not practice it, he is like a man looking at his own face in a mirror.

But he who looks carefully into the perfect Law, the Law of Freedom, and continues to do so, not listening to it and then forgetting it, but putting it into practice--that man will be blessed in what he does.

When a man appears to be religious, yet does not bridle his tongue, but imposes upon his own conscience, that man's religious observances are valueless.

My Brothers, what is the good of a man's saying that he has faith, if he does not prove it by actions? Can such faith save him?

We often make mistakes, every one of us. Any one who does not make mistakes when speaking is indeed a perfect man, able to bridle his whole body as well.

Does a spring give both good and bad water from the same source?
