For the sun hath sprung up, with it scorching heat, and hath withered the grass, and, the flower thereof, hath fallen out, and, the beauty of the face thereof, hath perished, - so, also the rich, in his goings, shall languish.

Wherefore, laying aside all filthiness and abounding vice, receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls.

For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass:

for the judgment will be merciless to the man who has shown no mercy ??whereas the merciful life will triumph in the face of judgment.

where false zeal, and a spirit of contention reign, there confusion and every vice prevail.

Degenerate race, don't you know that friendship with vice is hostility against heaven. he that is a friend to the vicious world, is an enemy to God.

or do you imagine that passage of scripture to be insignificant, "does the spirit that dwells in you, incite you to vice?"
