haven’t you discriminated among yourselves and become judges with evil thoughts?

What good is it, my brothers, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can his faith save him?

In the same way faith, if it doesn’t have works, is dead by itself.

But someone will say, “You have faith, and I have works.” Show me your faith without works, and I will show you faith from my works.

But if you have bitter envy and selfish ambition in your heart, don’t brag and deny the truth.

You desire and do not have. You murder and covet and cannot obtain. You fight and war. You do not have because you do not ask.

You have lived luxuriously on the land and have indulged yourselves. You have fattened your hearts for the day of slaughter.

You have condemned—you have murdered—the righteous man; he does not resist you.

See, we count as blessed those who have endured. You have heard of Job’s endurance and have seen the outcome from the Lord. The Lord is very compassionate and merciful.
