Of his own will he hath begotten us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of first-fruits of his creatures.

Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the ingrafted word, which is able to save your souls.

But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.

For if any is a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like a man beholding his natural face in a glass:

For he that said, Do not commit adultery; said also, Do not kill. Now if thou committest no adultery, yet if thou killest, thou art become a transgressor of the law.

For in many things we all offend. If any man offendeth not in word, the same is a perfect man, able also to bridle the whole body.

Speak not evil one of another, brethren. He that speaketh evil of his brother, and judgeth his brother, speaketh evil of the law, and judgeth the law: but if thou judgest the law, thou art not a doer of the law, but a judge.

There is one lawgiver, who is able to save, and to destroy: who art thou that judgest another?
