Do not be misled, my dear brothers.

You must understand this, my dear brothers. Everyone must be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to be angry,

Listen, my dear brothers. Has not God chosen the world's poor to be rich in faith, and to possess the kingdom that he promised to those who love him?

and so the Scripture came true that says, "Abraham had faith in God, and it was credited to him as uprightness, and he was called God's friend."

Can a fig tree produce olives, my brothers, or a grape vine figs? A salt spring cannot give fresh water.

Do not complain of one another, brothers, or you will be judged. The judge is standing right at the door!
