When someone is tempted, he should not say, "I am being tempted by God," because God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does he tempt anyone.

If you give special attention to the man wearing fine clothes and say, "Please take this seat," but you say to the poor man, "Stand over there" or "Sit on the floor at my feet,"

But someone may say, "You have faith, and I have actions." Show me your faith without any actions, and I will show you my faith by my actions.

And so the Scripture was fulfilled that says, "Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness." And so he was called God's friend.

Or do you think the Scripture means nothing when it says that the Spirit that God caused to live in us jealously yearns for us?

But he gives all the more grace. And so he says, "God opposes the arrogant but gives grace to the humble."

Now listen, you who say, "Today or tomorrow we will go to such and such a town, stay there a year, conduct business, and make money."

Instead you should say, "If the Lord wants us to, we will live and do this or that."
