For the sun hath no sooner risen with a burning heat, but it withereth the grass, and its flower falleth, and the grace of the fashion of it perisheth: so also shall the rich man fade away in his ways.

Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him.

Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.

Of his own will he hath begotten us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of first-fruits of his creatures.

Hearken, my beloved brethren, Hath not God chosen the poor of this world rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which he hath promised to them that love him?

For he shall have judgment without mercy that hath shown no mercy; and mercy rejoiceth against judgment.

What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man sayeth he hath faith, and hath not works? can faith save him?

Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone.

For every kind of beasts, and of birds, and of serpents, and of animals in the sea, is tamed, and hath been tamed by mankind:

Be patient, therefore, brethren, to the coming of the Lord. Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, and hath long patience for it, until he receiveth the early and the latter rain.

And the prayer of faith will save the sick, and the Lord will raise him up; and if he hath committed sins, they will be forgiven him.
