For he gazes at himself and then goes out and immediately forgets what sort of person he was.

But the one who peers into the perfect law of liberty and fixes his attention there, and does not become a forgetful listener but one who lives it out -- he will be blessed in what he does.

What good is it, my brothers and sisters, if someone claims to have faith but does not have works? Can this kind of faith save him?

and one of you says to them, "Go in peace, keep warm and eat well," but you do not give them what the body needs, what good is it?

You do not know about tomorrow. What is your life like? For you are a puff of smoke that appears for a short time and then vanishes.

So whoever knows what is good to do and does not do it is guilty of sin.
