Ye know this , my beloved brethren. But let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath:

But he that looketh into the perfect law, the law of liberty, and'so continueth, being not a hearer that forgetteth but a doer that worketh, this man shall be blessed in his doing.

If any man thinketh himself to be religious, while he bridleth not his tongue but deceiveth his heart, this man's religion is vain.

Pure religion and undefiled before our God and Father is this, to visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unspotted from the world.

This wisdom is not a wisdom that cometh down from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish.

Come now, ye that say, To-day or to-morrow we will go into this city, and spend a year there, and trade, and get gain:

For that ye ought to say, If the Lord will, we shall both live, and do this or that.
