because, if any one is a hearer of the word and not a doer, this one hath been like to a man viewing his natural face in a mirror,

and he who did look into the perfect law -- that of liberty, and did continue there, this one -- not a forgetful hearer becoming, but a doer of work -- this one shall be happy in his doing.

and ye did dishonour the poor one; do not the rich oppress you and themselves draw you to judgment-seats;

is a fig-tree able, my brethren, olives to make? or a vine figs? so no fountain salt and sweet water is able to make.

draw nigh to God, and He will draw nigh to you; cleanse hands, ye sinners! and purify hearts, ye two-souled!

Speak not one against another, brethren; he who is speaking against a brother, and is judging his brother, doth speak against law, and doth judge law, and if law thou dost judge, thou art not a doer of law but a judge;

murmur not against one another, brethren, that ye may not be condemned; lo, the Judge before the door hath stood.
