For he looks at himself, goes away, and immediately forgets what kind of man he was.

But the one who looks intently into the perfect law of freedom and perseveres in it, and is not a forgetful hearer but one who does good works—this person will be blessed in what he does.

What good is it, my brothers, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can his faith save him?

and one of you says to them, “Go in peace, keep warm, and eat well,” but you don’t give them what the body needs, what good is it?

for we all stumble in many ways. If anyone does not stumble in what he says, he is a mature man who is also able to control his whole body.

What is the source of wars and fights among you? Don’t they come from the cravings that are at war within you?

You don’t even know what tomorrow will bring—what your life will be! For you are like smoke that appears for a little while, then vanishes.
