All joy count it, my brethren, when ye may fall into temptations manifold;

and let the endurance have a perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire -- in nothing lacking;

Be not led astray, my brethren beloved;

So then, my brethren beloved, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger,

My brethren, hold not, in respect of persons, the faith of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ,

for if there may come into your synagogue a man with gold ring, in gay raiment, and there may come in also a poor man in vile raiment,

and ye may look upon him bearing the gay raiment, and may say to him, 'Thou -- sit thou here well,' and to the poor man may say, 'Thou -- stand thou there, or, Sit thou here under my footstool,' --

Hearken, my brethren beloved, did not God choose the poor of this world, rich in faith, and heirs of the reign that He promised to those loving Him?

What is the profit, my brethren, if faith, any one may speak of having, and works he may not have? is that faith able to save him?

and if a brother or sister may be naked, and may be destitute of the daily food,

and any one of you may say to them, 'Depart ye in peace, be warmed, and be filled,' and may not give to them the things needful for the body, what is the profit?

so also the faith, if it may not have works, is dead by itself.

But say may some one, Thou hast faith, and I have works, shew me thy faith out of thy works, and I will shew thee out of my works my faith:

Many teachers become not, my brethren, having known that greater judgment we shall receive,

out of the same mouth doth come forth blessing and cursing; it doth not need, my brethren, these things so to happen;

is a fig-tree able, my brethren, olives to make? or a vine figs? so no fountain salt and sweet water is able to make.

ye ask, and ye receive not, because evilly ye ask, that in your pleasures ye may spend it.

Adulterers and adulteresses! have ye not known that friendship of the world is enmity with God? whoever, then, may counsel to be a friend of the world, an enemy of God he is set.

instead of your saying, 'If the Lord may will, we shall live, and do this or that;'

Be patient, then, brethren, till the presence of the Lord; lo, the husbandman doth expect the precious fruit of the earth, being patient for it, till he may receive rain -- early and latter;

murmur not against one another, brethren, that ye may not be condemned; lo, the Judge before the door hath stood.

An example take ye of the suffering of evil, my brethren, and of the patience, the prophets who did speak in the name of the Lord;

And before all things, my brethren, do not swear, neither by the heaven, neither by the earth, neither by any other oath, and let your Yes be Yes, and the No, No; that under judgment ye may not fall.

and the prayer of the faith shall save the distressed one, and the Lord shall raise him up, and if sins he may have committed, they shall be forgiven to him.

Be confessing to one another the trespasses, and be praying for one another, that ye may be healed; very strong is a working supplication of a righteous man;

Brethren, if any among you may go astray from the truth, and any one may turn him back,
