But let him ask in faith, without any doubting, for the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, driven and tossed by the wind.

For let that man not think that he will receive anything from the Lord.

For the sun arises with the scorching wind, and withers the grass, and the flower in it falls, and the beauty of its appearance perishes. So also will the rich man fade away in his pursuits.

Blessed is the man who endures temptation, for when he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life, which he promised to those who love him.

Let no man say when he is tempted, "I am tempted by God," for God cannot be tempted by evil, and he himself tempts no one.

for the anger of man does not accomplish the righteousness of God.

For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man looking at his natural face in a mirror;

for he sees himself, and goes away, and immediately forgets what kind of man he was.

For if a man with a gold ring, in fine clothing, comes into your synagogue, and a poor man in filthy clothing also comes in;

For whoever keeps the whole law, and yet stumbles in one point, he has become guilty of all.

For he who said, "Do not commit adultery," also said, "Do not commit murder." Now if you do not commit adultery, but murder, you have become a transgressor of the law.

For judgment is without mercy to him who has shown no mercy. Mercy triumphs over judgment.

For as the body apart from the spirit is dead, even so faith apart from works is dead.

For in many things we all stumble. If anyone does not stumble in word, the same is a perfect man, able to bridle the whole body also.

So the tongue is also a little member, and boasts great things. See how a small fire can spread to a large forest.

And the tongue is a fire. The world of iniquity among our members is the tongue, which defiles the whole body, and sets on fire the course of nature, and is set on fire by hell.

For all kinds of animals, and birds, of reptiles and sea creatures, are being tamed and have been tamed by mankind.

For where jealousy and selfish ambition are, there is confusion and every evil deed.

You ask, and do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, so that you may spend it for your pleasures.

Whereas you do not know what tomorrow will be like. What is your life? For you are a vapor that appears for a little time and then vanishes away.

For you ought to say, "If the Lord wills, we will both live, and do this or that."

Come now, you rich, weep and howl for your miseries that are coming on you.

Your gold and your silver are corroded, and their corrosion will be for a testimony against you, and will eat your flesh like fire. You have laid up your treasure in the last days.

Be patient therefore, brothers, until the coming of the Lord. Behold, the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the earth, being patient over it, until it receives the early and late rain.

You also be patient. Establish your hearts, for the coming of the Lord is near.

Take, brothers, for an example of suffering and of patience, the prophets who spoke in the name of the Lord.

Is any 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,

Therefore confess your sins to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The prayer of the righteous person is powerfully effective.

Elijah was a man with a nature like ours, and he prayed earnestly that it might not rain, and it did not rain on the earth for three years and six months.
