But let him ask in faith, doubting not: for he that doubts, is like a wave of the sea, driven by the wind, and tossed.

For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing from the Lord.

For the sun rises with its burning heat, and withers the grass, and its flower falls, and the beauty of its form perishes. So, also, shall the rich man fade away in his ways.

Blessed is the man that endures trial: for, being approved, he shall receive the crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love him.

Let no one say, when he is tempted, My temptation is from God; for God can not be tempted by evils, and he himself tempts no man.

For the wrath of man produces not the righteousness of God.

For if any one is a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like a man that looks at his natural face in a mirror:

for he looks at himself, and goes away, and immediately forgets what sort of person he is.

My brethren, do not hold the faith of our glorious Lord Jesus Christ, so as to show a partiality for persons.

For if there comes into your assembly a man in splendid apparel, and with gold rings on his fingers, and there comes in also a poor man, in mean clothing,

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

For whoever shall keep the whole law, and yet fail in one, is an offender against all.

For he that said, Do not commit adultery, said also, Do not kill. Now, though you do not commit adultery, yet, if you kill, you are a transgresssor of law.

For he shall have judgment without mercy, who has shown no mercy. Mercy glories over judgment.

and any of you say to them, Go in peace, be warmed and be filled, and yet give them not the things that are needful for the body, what does this profit them?

And the scripture was fulfilled, which says, Abraham believed God, and it was counted to him for righteousness: and he was called the friend of God.

For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.

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

So, also, the tongue is a little member, and boasts great things. Behold, how great a forest does a little fire set in a blaze.

And the tongue is a fire, the world of iniquity. So is the tongue placed among our members, defiling the whole body, setting on fire the course of life, and being set on fire by hell.

For every kind of beasts and of birds, of creeping things and of things in the sea, is tamed, and has been tamed by man:

For where envy and strife are, there is commotion, and every evil work.

And those who cultivate peace, sow for themselves a harvest of righteousness in peace.

and yet you know not what will take place to-morrow. For what is your life? Is it not, indeed, a vapor, that appears for a little while, and then vanishes away?

Come, now, you rich men, weep and lament for your miseries that are coming upon you.

your gold and your silver are covered with rust; and their rust will be a testimony against you, and will eat your flesh as fire. You have heaped up treasures in the last days.

Be patient, therefore, brethren, till the coming of the Lord. Behold, the farmer looks for the precious fruit of the earth, and waits patiently for it, till he receives the early and the latter rain.

Be you also patient, establish your hearts: for the coming of the Lord draws near.

Is any one among you sick? let him call for the elders of the church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil, in the name of the Lord.

Confess your faults one to another, and pray for one another, that you may be restored to health: the fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much.

Elijah was a man with passions like our own; and he earnestly prayed that it might not rain; and it did not rain on the land for three years and six months.
