But if any of you lacketh wisdom, let him ask of God, who giveth to all liberally and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.

But let him ask in faith, nothing doubting: for he that doubteth is like the surge of the sea driven by the wind and tossed.

But let the brother of low degree glory in his high estate:

but each man is tempted, when he is drawn away by his own lust, and enticed.

Ye know this , my beloved brethren. But let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath:

But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deluding your own selves.

But he that looketh into the perfect law, the law of liberty, and'so continueth, being not a hearer that forgetteth but a doer that worketh, this man shall be blessed in his doing.

If any man thinketh himself to be religious, while he bridleth not his tongue but deceiveth his heart, this man's religion is vain.

But ye have dishonored the poor man. Do not the rich oppress you, and themselves drag you before the judgment-seats?

but if ye have respect of persons, ye commit sin, being convicted by the law as transgressors.

For he that said, Do not commit adultery, said also, Do not kill. Now if thou dost not commit adultery, but killest, thou art become a transgressor of the law.

What doth it profit, my brethren, if a man say he hath faith, but have not works? can that faith save him?

But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith apart from works is barren?

Now if we put the horses bridles into their mouths that they may obey us, we turn about their whole body also.

But the tongue can no man tame; it is a restless evil, it is full of deadly poison.

But if ye have bitter jealousy and faction in your heart, glory not and lie not against the truth.

This wisdom is not a wisdom that cometh down from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish.

But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, easy to be entreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without variance, without hypocrisy.

But he giveth more grace. Wherefore the scripture'saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace to the humble.

Be subject therefore unto God; but resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

Speak not one against another, brethren. He that speaketh against a brother, or judgeth his brother, speaketh against the law, and judgeth the law: but if thou judgest the law, thou art not a doer of the law, but a judge.

One only is the lawgiver and judge, even he who is able to save and to destroy: but who art thou that judgest thy neighbor?

But now ye glory in your vauntings: all such glorying is evil.

But above all things, my brethren, swear not, neither by the heaven, nor by the earth, nor by any other oath: but let your yea be yea, and your nay, nay; that ye fall not under judgment.
