Profiting from Trials

My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials,

If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him.

he is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.

Doers—Not Hearers Only

Therefore lay aside all filthiness and overflow of wickedness, and receive with meekness the implanted word, which is able to save your souls.

For whoever shall keep the whole law, and yet stumble in one point, he is guilty of all.

For we all stumble in many things. If anyone does not stumble in word, he is a perfect man, able also to bridle the whole body.

But now you boast in your arrogance. All such boasting is evil.

But above all, my brethren, do not swear, either by heaven or by earth or with any other oath. But let your “Yes” be “Yes,” and your “No,” “No,” lest you fall into judgment.
