My brethren, count it exceeding joy when ye fall into divers temptations,

If there come into your company a man with a golden ring, and in goodly apparel, and there come in also a poor man in vile raiment,

Behold, we put bits into the horses' mouths that they should obey us, and we turn about all the body.

Go to now, ye that say, "Today and tomorrow let us go into such a city and continue there a year and buy, and sell, and win,"

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

But above all things, my brethren, swear not: neither by heaven, neither by earth, neither by any other oath. Let your yea be "yea," and your nay, "nay," lest ye fall into hypocrisy.
