But do you want proof, my senseless friend, that faith without good deeds amounts to nothing?

But let endurance have its perfect work, that ye may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.

but let him ask in faith, nothing doubting. For he that doubts is like a wave of the sea driven by the wind and tossed about;

Ye ask, and receive nothing, because ye ask vilely, in order to consume it on your sensual appetites.

though ye know nothing of what shall be to-morrow. For what is your life? It is but a vapour which appeareth for a little while, and then vanishes away.

Or, do you think that the Scripture says [this] for nothing? [Note: No specific passage is here cited, but the idea occurs in several Old Testament passages]. "The Holy Spirit, whom God has made to live in us, longs jealously [for us to be faithful to God]."
