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

My brothers, do not have the faith of our Lord Christ, the Lord of glory, with respecter of faces.

and if you have respect to him who has the fancy clothing and say to him, You sit here in a good place, and say to the poor, You stand there, or sit here under my footstool;

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

For He who said, "Do not commit adultery," also said, "Do not murder." But if you do not commit adultery, yet if you murder, you have become a transgressor of the Law.

For he who has shown no mercy shall have judgment without mercy, and mercy exults over judgment.

My brothers, what profit is it if a man says he has faith and does not have works? Can faith save him?

Even so, if it does not have works, faith is dead, being by itself.

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

By this we bless God, even the Father. And by this we curse men, who have come into being according to the image of God.

But if you have bitter jealousy and strife in your hearts, do not glory and lie against the truth.

You desire, and do not have. You murder, and are jealous, and cannot obtain. You fight and war, yet you have not because you ask not.

Your riches have rotted, and your clothes have become moth-eaten.

Your gold and silver have corroded, and their poison will be a witness against you, and will eat your flesh as fire. You heaped treasure in the last days.

Behold, the hire of the laborers reaping your fields cry out, being kept back by you. And the cries of those who have reaped have entered into the ears of the Lord of hosts.

You have lived luxuriously on the earth, and lived wantonly. You have nourished your hearts, as in a day of slaughter.

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

My brothers, take the prophets who have spoken in the name of the Lord, for an example of suffering ill, and of patience.

Behold, we count blessed those who endure. You have heard of the patience of Job, and you have seen the end of the Lord, that the Lord is full of pity and of tender mercy.
