Faith and Wisdom

My brothers and sisters, whenever you face various trials, consider it all joy,

Do not be deceived, my beloved brothers and sisters.

Hearing and Doing the Word

You must understand this, my beloved brothers and sisters: let everyone be quick to listen, slow to speak, slow to anger,
