Let no one say when he is tempted, "I am being tempted by God"; for God cannot be tempted by evil, and he himself does not tempt anyone.

and you pay special attention to the one who is wearing the fine clothes and say, "Have a seat here in a good place," and you say to the poor man, "You stand there," or, "Sit by my feet,"

What good is it, my brethren, if a man says he has faith but has no works? Can such faith save him?

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

But someone will say, "You have faith and I have works." Show me your faith without the works, and I will show you my faith by my works.

Come now, you who say, "Today or tomorrow we will go to such and such a city, and spend a year there and engage in business and make a profit."

Instead, you ought to say, "If the Lord wills, we will live and do this or that."
