For let not that man suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord;

a double-souled man, unstable in all his ways.

For the sun arose with scorching heat, and withered the grass, and its flower fell out, and the beauty of its appearance perished, so also will the rich man fade away in his goings.

Happy is a man who endures temptation; because, when he becomes approved, he will receive the crown of life, which He promised to those who love Him.

Ye know this, my beloved brethren; but let every man be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath;

for man's wrath works not God's righteousness.

Because, if anyone is a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like a man beholding his natural face in a mirror;

for he observed himself, and went away, and straightway he forgot what manner of man he was.

But he who looks carefully into a perfect law??hat of liberty??nd remains by it, becoming not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work??his man shall be happy in his doing.

If anyone thinks that he is religious, while he bridles not his own tongue, but deceives his own heart, this man's religion is vain.

For, if there come into your synagogue a man with a gold ring, in splendid apparel, and there come in also a poor man in vile apparel;

and ye show regard to him who is wearing the splendid apparel, and say, "Sit here in a good place"; and say to the poor man, "Stand, or sit under my footstool";

But ye dishonored the poor man! Do not the rich oppress you, and do they not drag you before the judgment-seats?

But are you willing to know, O vain man, that faith apart from works is worthless?

Ye see that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only.

For in many things we all stumble. If anyone stumbles not in word, the same is a perfect man, able to restrain also the whole body.

but the tongue no man can tame; a restless evil, full of deadly poison!

Therewith we bless the Lord and Father; and therewith we curse men, who have been made after the likeness of God.

Confess, therefore, your sins one to another, and pray for one another, that ye may be healed. A righteous man's inwrought supplication avails much.

Elijah was a man of like nature with us; and he prayed earnestly that it might not rain, and it rained not on the earth for three years and six months;
