But let patience have its perfect work, so that you may be perfect and entire, lacking nothing.

But let him ask in faith, doubting nothing. For he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, driven by the wind and tossed.

For the sun rose with the hot wind and dried up the grass, and its flower fell out, and the beauty of its appearance perished; so also the rich one will fade away in his ways.

For every kind of animals, and of birds, and of reptiles, and of sea-animals, is tamed, and has been tamed by mankind.

Out of the same mouth proceeds blessing and cursing. My brothers, these things ought not to be so.
