But let him ask in faith, and waver not. For he that doubteth is like the waves of the sea, tossed of the wind, and carried with violence.

Let no man say when he is tempted that he is tempted of God: for God tempteth not unto evil, neither tempteth he any man.

Err not, my dear brethren.

For the wrath of man worketh not that which is righteous before God.

And see that ye be doers of the word and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves with sophistry.

For if any hear the word, and do it not, he is like unto a man that beholdeth his bodily face in a glass.

but whoso looketh in the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein - if he be not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work - the same shall be happy in his deed.

If any man among you seem devout, and refrain not his tongue: but deceive his own heart, this man's devotion is in vain.

Brethren, have not the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ the Lord of glory in respect of persons.

are ye not even partial in your selves, and have judged after evil thoughts?

Hearken, my dear beloved brethren, hath not God chosen the poor of this world, which are rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom, which he promised to them that love him?

But ye have despised the poor. Are not the rich they which oppress you: and they which draw you before judges?

Do not they speak evil of that good name after which ye be named?

For he that said, "Thou shalt not commit adultery," said also, "thou shalt not kill." Though thou shalt do none adultery, yet if thou kill, thou art a transgressor of the law.

and one of you say unto them, "Depart in peace, God send you warmness and food," notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the body: what helpeth it them?

Was not Abraham our father justified through works when he offered Isaac his son upon the altar?

Ye see, then, how that of deeds a man is justified, and not of faith only.

Likewise also, was not Rahab the harlot justified through works, when she received the messengers, and sent them out another way?

My brethren, be not every man a master; Remembering how that we shall receive the more damnation.

For in many things we sin all. If a man sin not in word, the same is a perfect man and able to tame all the body.

Out of one mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be.

But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, rejoice not: neither be liars against the truth.

This wisdom descendeth not from above: but is earthy, and natural, and devilish.

From whence cometh war, and fighting among you? Come they not here hence, even of your voluptuousness that raineth in your members?

Ye lust, and have not. Ye envy and have indignation, and cannot obtain. Ye fight and war, and have not, because ye ask not.

Ye ask and receive not, because ye ask amiss, even to consume it upon your voluptuousness.

Ye adulterers, and women that break matrimony: know ye not how that the friendship of the world is enmity to Godward? Whosoever will be friend of the world, is made the enemy of God.

Backbite not one another, brethren. He that backbiteth his brother, and he that judgeth his brother, backbiteth the law, and judgeth the law: but and if thou judge the law, thou art not an observer of the law: but a judge.

Therefore to him that knoweth how to do good, and doth it not: to him, it is sin.

Ye have condemned and have killed the just, and he hath not resisted you.

Grudge not one against another, brethren, lest ye be damned. Behold, the judge standeth before the door.

But above all things, my brethren, swear not: neither by heaven, neither by earth, neither by any other oath. Let your yea be "yea," and your nay, "nay," lest ye fall into hypocrisy.

Elijah was a man, mortal even as we are, and he prayed in his prayer, that it might not rain: and it rained not on the earth by the space of three years and six months.
