Let no man under temptation say, I am tempted of God: for God is incapable of temptation from evils, and he tempteth no man:

and ye fix your eyes upon him who bears the splendid robe, and say to him, Sit thou here in an honourable place; and ye say to the poor man, Stand thou there, or sit here under my footstool:

But above all things, my brethren, swear not, neither by heaven, nor by earth, nor by any other oath: but let your yea be yea, and your no, no; that ye fall not under condemnation.

Is any man among you under afflictions? let him pray. Is any man happy in mind? let him sing psalms.
