-
For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord.
-
A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.
-
For the sun is no sooner risen with a burning heat, but it withereth the grass, and the flower thereof falleth, and the grace of the fashion of it perisheth: so also shall the rich man fade away in his ways.
-
Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him.
-
Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man:
-
But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed.
-
Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath:
-
For the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God.
-
For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass:
-
For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was.
-
But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.
-
If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man's religion is vain.
-
For if there come unto your assembly a man with a gold ring, in goodly apparel, and there come in also a poor man in vile raiment;
-
What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? can faith save him?
-
Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works.
-
But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?
-
Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only.
-
My brethren, be not many masters, knowing that we shall receive the greater condemnation.
-
For in many things we offend all. If any man offend not in word, the same is a perfect man, and able also to bridle the whole body.
-
For every kind of beasts, and of birds, and of serpents, and of things in the sea, is tamed, and hath been tamed of mankind:
-
But the tongue can no man tame; it is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison.
-
Who is a wise man and endued with knowledge among you? let him shew out of a good conversation his works with meekness of wisdom.
-
Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.

Elias was a man subject to like passions as we are, and he prayed earnestly that it might not rain: and it rained not on the earth by the space of three years and six months.
