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

Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom can be no variation, nor turning shadow.

But do you want to know, vain man, that faith apart from works is dead?

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

Does a spring send out from the same opening fresh and bitter water?

But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceful, gentle, reasonable, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.

Where do wars and fightings among you come from? Don't they come from your pleasures that war in your members?

Brothers, if any among you wanders from the truth, and someone turns him back,

let him know that he who turns a sinner from the error of his way will save a soul from death, and will cover a multitude of sins.
