My brothers and sisters, consider it nothing but joy when you fall into all sorts of trials,

Then when desire conceives, it gives birth to sin, and when sin is full grown, it gives birth to death.

But would you like evidence, you empty fellow, that faith without works is useless?

But no human being can subdue the tongue; it is a restless evil, full of deadly poison.

But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, accommodating, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial, and not hypocritical.

So submit to God. But resist the devil and he will flee from you.

Do not speak against one another, brothers and sisters. He who speaks against a fellow believer or judges a fellow believer speaks against the law and judges the law. But if you judge the law, you are not a doer of the law but its judge.

Think of how we regard as blessed those who have endured. You have heard of Job's endurance and you have seen the Lord's purpose, that the Lord is full of compassion and mercy.

And above all, my brothers and sisters, do not swear, either by heaven or by earth or by any other oath. But let your "Yes" be yes and your "No" be no, so that you may not fall into judgment.
