And let endurance have its perfect result, so that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.

and you pay special attention to the one who is wearing the fine clothes and say, "Have a seat here in a good place," and you say to the poor man, "You stand there," or, "Sit by my feet,"

have you not made distinctions among yourselves, and become judges with evil thoughts?

But you have dishonored the poor man. Is it not the rich who oppress you? Is it not they who drag you into court?

Is it not they who blaspheme the honorable name by which you have been called?

For he who said, "Do not commit adultery," said also, "Do not murder." If you do not commit adultery but do commit murder, you have become a transgressor of the law.

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

With it we bless our Lord and Father, and with it we curse men, who have been made in the likeness of God.

But if you have bitter jealousy and selfish ambition in your hearts, do not boast and be false to the truth.

You desire and do not have; so you kill. And you covet and cannot obtain; so you fight and quarrel. You do not have, because you do not ask.

Your riches have rotted and your garments are moth-eaten.

Your gold and silver have rusted, and their rust will be evidence against you and will eat your flesh like fire. You have laid up treasure in the last days.

Behold, the wages of the laborers who mowed your fields, which you kept back by fraud, cry out against you; and the cries of the harvesters have reached the ears of the Lord of hosts.

You have lived on the earth in luxury and in pleasure; you have fattened your hearts in a day of slaughter.

You have condemned and put to death the righteous man; he does not resist you.

Behold, we call those blessed who endured. You have heard of the endurance of Job, and you have seen the purpose of the Lord, how the Lord is full of compassion and mercy.
