This you know, my beloved brethren. But everyone must be quick to hear, slow to speak and slow to anger,

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

If anyone thinks himself to be religious, and yet does not bridle his tongue but deceives his own heart, this man's religion is worthless.

Religion that is pure and undefiled in the sight of our God and Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their distress, and to keep oneself unstained by the world.

From the same mouth come blessing and cursing. My brethren, this ought not to be so.

This wisdom is not such as comes down from above, but is earthly, unspiritual, demonic.

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