But let him ask in faith, without any doubting, for the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, driven and tossed by the wind.

For the sun arises with the scorching wind, and withers the grass, and the flower in it falls, and the beauty of its appearance perishes. So also will the rich man fade away in his pursuits.

Let no man say when he is tempted, "I am tempted by God," for God cannot be tempted by evil, and he himself tempts no one.

If anyone thinks himself to be religious while he does not bridle his tongue, but deceives his heart, this man's religion is worthless.

and you pay special attention to him who wears the fine clothing, and say, "Sit here in a good place;" but you tell the poor man, "Stand there," or "Sit by my footstool;"

So speak, and so do, as men who are to be judged by a law of freedom.

Even so faith, if it has no works, is dead in itself.

Yes, a man will say, "You have faith, and I have works." Show me your faith without works, and I by my works will show you my faith.

You see that faith worked with his works, and by works faith was perfected;

You see that a man is justified by works and not by faith alone.

For as the body apart from the spirit is dead, even so faith apart from works is dead.

Now if we put bits into the horses' mouths so that they may obey us, we guide their whole body.

Behold, the ships also, though they are so big and are driven by fierce winds, are yet guided by a very small rudder, wherever the pilot desires.

So the tongue is also a little member, and boasts great things. See how a small fire can spread to a large forest.

For all kinds of animals, and birds, of reptiles and sea creatures, are being tamed and have been tamed by mankind.

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

You ask, and do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, so that you may spend it for your pleasures.

Come now, you who say, "Today or tomorrow let us go into this city, and spend a year there, trade, and make a profit."

For you ought to say, "If the Lord wills, we will both live, and do this or that."

Do not grumble, brothers, against one another, so that you won't be judged. Behold, the judge stands at the door.

But above all things, my brothers, do not swear, neither by heaven, nor by the earth, nor by any other oath; but let your "yes" be "yes," and your "no," "no;" so that you do not fall under judgment.
