Blessed is the man who endures temptation; for when he has stood the test he will receive the crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love him.

for after he has looked carefully at himself, he goes away, and at once forgets what he is like.

Listen, my dear brothers, has not God chosen the poor of this world to be rich in faith, and to inherit the kingdom which he has promised to those who love him?

For judgment is without mercy to the man who has showed no mercy. but mercy glories in the face of judgment.

My brothers, what good is it if any one says that he has faith, if he has no deeds? Can such faith save him?

Or do you suppose that it is in vain that the Scripture says, "The spirit which has its home in us yearns over us unto jealousy?"

For your riches lie rotting, and your clothing has become moth-eaten.

and the prayer of faith will restore the sick, and the Lord will raise him up. And if he has committed sins, it will be forgiven him.
