Count it all joy, my brethren, when ye fall into manifold temptations;

For if there come into your synagogue a man with a gold ring, in fine clothing, and there come in also a poor man in vile clothing;

But the tongue can no man tame; it is a restless evil, it is full of deadly poison.

For where jealousy and faction are, there is confusion and every vile deed.

But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, easy to be entreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without variance, without hypocrisy.

Be subject therefore unto God; but resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

Behold, we call them blessed that endured: ye have heard of the patience of Job, and have seen the end of the Lord, how that the Lord is full of pity, and merciful.

But above all things, my brethren, swear not, neither by the heaven, nor by the earth, nor by any other oath: but let your yea be yea, and your nay, nay; that ye fall not under judgment.
