But let patience have her perfect work, that you may be perfect and entire, lacking in nothing.

My brethren, have not the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory, with respect of persons.

And you have respect to him that wears the fine clothing, and say unto him, Sit here in a good place; and say to the poor, Stand there, or sit here under my footstool:

But you have despised the poor. Do not rich men oppress you, and draw you before the judges?

But if you have respect to persons, you commit sin, and are convicted of the law as transgressors.

For he shall have judgment without mercy, that has showed no mercy; and mercy triumphs over judgment.

Yea, a man may say, You have faith, and I have works: show me your faith without your works, and I will show you my faith by my works.

But if you have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, boast not, and lie not against the truth.

You lust, and have not: you kill, and desire to have, and cannot obtain: you fight and war, yet you have not, because you ask not.

Your gold and silver is rusted; and the rust of them shall be a witness against you, and shall eat your flesh as if it were fire. You have heaped treasure together for the last days.

Behold, the hire of the laborers who have reaped down your fields, which is of you kept back by fraud, cries: and the cries of them who have reaped are entered into the ears of the Lord of hosts.

You have lived in pleasure on the earth, and been wanton; you have nourished your hearts, as in a day of slaughter.

You have condemned and killed the just; and he does not resist you.

Take, my brethren, the prophets, who have spoken in the name of the Lord, for an example of suffering affliction, and of patience.

Behold, we count them happy who endure. You have heard of the patience of Job, and have seen the end of the Lord; that the Lord is very compassionate, and of tender mercy.
