But if any of you lack wisdom, let him ask God, who gives to all cheerfully and upbraids none; and it will be given unto him.

For let not that man think that he will receive anything from the Lord,

and the rich man, in his humility: because as the flower of the grass he will pass away.

For the sun with a scorching wind has risen, and dried up the grass, and its flower fell off, and the beauty of its countenance perished: so indeed the rich man will pass away in his ways.

Happy is the man who endures temptation: because, being proved, he will receive a crown of life, which God has promised to those who love him with divine love.

Of his own will begat he us by the word of truth, that we should be some first fruit of his creations.

But one will say, You have faith, and I have works: Show me your faith apart from works, and I will show you my faith by my works.

behold also the ships, being so great, and driven by fierce winds, are managed by the smallest rudder, whithersoever the will of the steersman prefers;

For every nature both of wild beasts, and of birds, and of creeping things, and of oceanic animals, is subdued, and has been subjugated to human nature:

Therefore draw nigh unto God; and resist the devil, and he will flee from you:

Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will raise you up.

Come now, ye who are saying, To-day or to-morrow we will go into that city, and abide there a year, and trade and accumulate:

on the contrary you should say, If the Lord will, and we live, we will indeed do this, or that.

Truly the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord will raise him up; if he may have committed sins, they shall be forgiven unto him.
