If any of you want wisdom, let him ask of God, who giveth to all men liberally and upbraideth not, and it shall be given him.

For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing from the Lord.

A double-minded man is unstable in all his ways.

For the sun arose with a burning heat, and withered the grass, and the flower fell off, and the beauty of it's appearance perished: so also shall the rich man fade away in his ways.

Happy is the man that endureth temptation: for when he hath been proved, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him.

Let no man when he is tempted say, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man.

But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away by his own desire and inticed.

Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath.

For the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God.

For if any one be an hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like a man beholding his natural face in a glass.

For he beheld himself, and went away, and immediately forgot what manner of man he was.

But whoso looketh diligently into the perfect law, the law of liberty, and continueth therein, this man being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the word, this man shall be happy in his doing.

If any one be ever so religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man's religion is vain.

My brethren, have not the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory, with respect of persons. For if there come into your assembly a man with a gold ring,

in fine apparel, and there come in also a poor man in dirty raiment,

And ye look upon him that weareth the fine apparel, and say to him, Sit thou here in a good place, and say to the poor man,

What doth it profit, my brethren, tho' a man say he hath faith, and have not works?

But art thou willing to know, O empty man, that faith without works is dead?

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

For in many things we offend all. If any one offend not in word, the same is a perfect man, able also to bridle the whole body.

But the tongue can no man tame: it is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison.

Therewith bless we God the Father, and therewith curse we man, made after the likeness of God.

Who is a wise and knowing man among you? Let him shew by a good conversation his works with meekness of wisdom.

Confess your faults one to another, brethren, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed: the fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.

Elijah was a man of like passions with us; and he prayed earnestly that it might not rain: and it rained not on the land for three years and six months.
