Let the brother of low degree rejoice in that he is exalted,

and the rich in that he is made low. For even as the flower of the grass shall he vanish away.

Wherefore lay apart all filthiness, all superfluity of maliciousness, and receive with meekness the word that is grafted in you, which is able to save your souls:

but whoso looketh in the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein - if he be not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work - the same shall be happy in his deed.

If ye fulfil the royal law - according to the scripture which saith, "Thou shalt love thine neighbour as thyself" - ye do well.

But if ye regard one person more than another, ye commit sin, and are rebuked of the law as transgressors.

Whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet fail in one point, he is guilty in all.

For he that said, "Thou shalt not commit adultery," said also, "thou shalt not kill." Though thou shalt do none adultery, yet if thou kill, thou art a transgressor of the law.

So speak ye, and so do, as they that shall be judged by the law of liberty.

Backbite not one another, brethren. He that backbiteth his brother, and he that judgeth his brother, backbiteth the law, and judgeth the law: but and if thou judge the law, thou art not an observer of the law: but a judge.

There is one law giver, which is able to save and to destroy. What art thou that judgest another man?
