Count it all joy, my brethren, when you may fall into manifold temptations.

For the sun with a scorching wind has risen, and dried up the grass, and its flower fell off, and the beauty of its countenance perished: so indeed the rich man will pass away in his ways.

For whosoever may keep the whole law, and fail in one item, has become guilty of all.

For we all fail in many things; if any one fails not in word, the same is a perfect man, able even to bridle the whole body.

but no one of men is able to tame the tongue; an incorrigible evil, full of deadly poison.

But the wisdom which is from above is indeed first pure, then peaceable, gentle, easily persuaded, full of mercy and of good works, free from partiality and hypocrisy.

Therefore draw nigh unto God; and resist the devil, and he will flee from you:

But, my brethren, before all, swear not, neither by heaven, or by earth, or any other oath: but let your conversation be yes yes; and no no; lest you may fall under condemnation.
