for once he has looked at himself and gone away, he has immediately forgotten what kind of person he was.

But one who looks intently at the perfect law, the law of liberty, and abides by it, not having become a forgetful hearer but an effectual doer, this man will be blessed in what he does.

What use is it, my brethren, if someone says he has faith but he has no works? Can that faith save him?

and one of you says to them, “Go in peace, be warmed and be filled,” and yet you do not give them what is necessary for their body, what use is that?

For we all stumble in many ways. If anyone does not stumble in what he says, he is a perfect man, able to bridle the whole body as well.

What is the source of quarrels and conflicts among you? Is not the source your pleasures that wage war in your members?

Yet you do not know what your life will be like tomorrow. You are just a vapor that appears for a little while and then vanishes away.
