knowing that the proving of your faith works endurance.

But let endurance have its perfect work, that ye may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.

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

for let not that man think that he shall receive anything from the Lord;

Blessed is the man who endures temptation; for, having been proved, he shall receive the crown of life, which He has promised to them that love him.

According to his own will begat he us by the word of truth, that we should be a certain first-fruits of his creatures.

So that, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath;

But he that fixes his view on the perfect law, that of liberty, and abides in it, being not a forgetful hearer but a doer of the work, he shall be blessed in his doing.

Hear, my beloved brethren: Has not God chosen the poor as to the world, rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom, which he has promised to them that love him?

So speak ye, and so act, as those that are to be judged by the law of liberty;

for judgment will be without mercy to him that has shewn no mercy. Mercy glories over judgment.

Thou believest that God is one. Thou doest well. The demons even believe, and tremble.

But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?

Thou seest that faith wrought with his works, and that by works faith was perfected.

Ye see that a man is justified on the principle of works, and not on the principle of faith only.

Be not many teachers, my brethren, knowing that we shall receive greater judgment.

Behold, we put the bits in the mouths of the horses, that they may obey us, and we turn round their whole bodies.

Out of the same mouth goes forth blessing and cursing. It is not right, my brethren, that these things should be thus.

But the fruit of righteousness in peace is sown for them that make peace.

Ye ask and receive not, because ye ask evilly, that ye may consume it in your pleasures.

Adulteresses, know ye not that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Whoever therefore is minded to be the friend of the world is constituted enemy of God.

Think ye that the scripture speaks in vain? Does the Spirit which has taken his abode in us desire enviously?

Speak not against one another, brethren. He that speaks against his brother, or judges his brother, speaks against the law and judges the law. But if thou judgest the law, thou art not doer of the law, but judge.

instead of your saying, If the Lord should so will and we should live, we will also do this or that.

Go to now, ye rich, weep, howling over your miseries that are coming upon you.

Behold, the wages of your labourers, who have harvested your fields, wrongfully kept back by you, cry, and the cries of those that have reaped are entered into the ears of the Lord of sabaoth.

Complain not one against another, brethren, that ye be not judged. Behold, the judge stands before the door.

Behold, we call them blessed who have endured. Ye have heard of the endurance of Job, and seen the end of the Lord; that the Lord is full of tender compassion and pitiful.

But before all things, my brethren, swear not, neither by heaven, nor by the earth, nor by any other oath; but let your yea be yea, and your nay, nay, that ye do not fall under judgment.

Confess therefore your offences to one another, and pray for one another, that ye may be healed. The fervent supplication of the righteous man has much power.

Elias was a man of like passions to us, and he prayed with prayer that it should not rain; and it did not rain upon the earth three years and six months;

let him know that he that brings back a sinner from the error of his way shall save a soul from death and shall cover a multitude of sins.
