Do not be deceived, my dear brothers.

You must understand this, my dear brothers. Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to get angry.

But the one who looks at the perfect law of freedom and remains committed to it thereby demonstrating that he is not a forgetful hearer but a doer of what that law requires will be blessed in what he does.

Listen, my dear brothers! God has chosen the poor in the world to become rich in faith and to be heirs of the kingdom that he promised to those who keep on loving him, has he not?

My brothers, a fig tree cannot produce olives, nor a grapevine figs, can it? Neither can a salt spring produce fresh water.

Do not complain about each other, brothers, or you will be condemned. Look! The Judge is standing at the door!
