HEB-13: 15 By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of [our] lips giving thanks to his name. HEB-13: 16 But to do good and to communicate forget not: for with such sacrifices God is well pleased. HEB-13: 17 Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit yourselves: for they watch for your souls, as they that must give account, that they may do it with joy, and not with grief: for that [is] unprofitable for you. HEB-13: 18 Pray for us: for we trust we have a good conscience, in all things willing to live honestly. HEB-13: 19 But I beseech [you] the rather to do this, that I may be restored to you the sooner. HEB-13: 20 Now the God of peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant, HEB-13: 21 Make you perfect in every good work to do his will, working in you that which is wellpleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ; to whom [be] glory for ever and ever. Amen. HEB-13: 22 And I beseech you, brethren, suffer the word of exhortation: for I have written a letter unto you in few words. HEB-13: 23 Know ye that [our] brother Timothy is set at liberty; with whom, if he come shortly, I will see you. HEB-13: 24 Salute all them that have the rule over you, and all the saints. They of Italy salute you. HEB-13: 25 Grace [be] with you all. Amen. JAS-1: 1 James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which are scattered abroad, greeting. JAS-1: 2 My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations; JAS-1: 3 Knowing [this] , that the trying of your faith worketh patience. JAS-1: 4 But let patience have [her] perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing. JAS-1: 5 If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all [men] liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. JAS-1: 6 But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. JAS-1: 7 For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord. JAS-1: 8 A double minded man [is] unstable in all his ways. JAS-1: 9 Let the brother of low degree rejoice in that he is exalted: JAS-1: 10 But the rich, in that he is made low: because as the flower of the grass he shall pass away. JAS-1: 11 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. JAS-1: 12 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. JAS-1: 13 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: JAS-1: 14 But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed. JAS-1: 15 Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death. JAS-1: 16 Do not err, my beloved brethren. JAS-1: 17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning. JAS-1: 18 Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures. JAS-1: 19 Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath: JAS-1: 20 For the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God. JAS-1: 21 Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls. JAS-1: 22 But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves. JAS-1: 23 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: JAS-1: 24 For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was. JAS-1: 25 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. JAS-1: 26 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. JAS-1: 27 Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, [and] to keep himself unspotted from the world. JAS-2: 1 My brethren, have not the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, [the Lord] of glory, with respect of persons. JAS-2: 2 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; JAS-2: 3 And ye have respect to him that weareth the gay clothing, and say unto him, Sit thou here in a good place; and say to the poor, Stand thou there, or sit here under my footstool: JAS-2: 4 Are ye not then partial in yourselves, and are become judges of evil thoughts? JAS-2: 5 Hearken, my beloved brethren, Hath not God chosen the poor of this world rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which he hath promised to them that love him? JAS-2: 6 But ye have despised the poor. Do not rich men oppress you, and draw you before the judgment seats? JAS-2: 7 Do not they blaspheme that worthy name by the which ye are called? JAS-2: 8 If ye fulfil the royal law according to the scripture, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself, ye do well: JAS-2: 9 But if ye have respect to persons, ye commit sin, and are convinced of the law as transgressors. JAS-2: 10 For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one [point] , he is guilty of all. JAS-2: 11 For he that said, Do not commit adultery, said also, Do not kill. Now if thou commit no adultery, yet if thou kill, thou art become a transgressor of the law. JAS-2: 12 So speak ye, and so do, as they that shall be judged by the law of liberty. JAS-2: 13 For he shall have judgment without mercy, that hath showed no mercy; and mercy rejoiceth against judgment. JAS-2: 14 What [doth it] profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? can faith save him? JAS-2: 15 If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food, JAS-2: 16 And one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be [ye] warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the body; what [doth it] profit? JAS-2: 17 Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone. JAS-2: 18 Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: show me thy faith without thy works, and I will show thee my faith by my works. JAS-2: 19 Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble. JAS-2: 20 But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead? JAS-2: 21 Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar? JAS-2: 22 Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect? JAS-2: 23 And the scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called the Friend of God. JAS-2: 24 Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only. JAS-2: 25 Likewise also was not Rahab the harlot justified by works, when she had received the messengers, and had sent [them] out another way? JAS-2: 26 For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also. JAS-3: 1 My brethren, be not many masters, knowing that we shall receive the greater condemnation. JAS-3: 2 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. JAS-3: 3 Behold, we put bits in the horses' mouths, that they may obey us; and we turn about their whole body. JAS-3: 4 Behold also the ships, which though [they be] so great, and [are] driven of fierce winds, yet are they turned about with a very small helm, whithersoever the governor listeth. JAS-3: 5 Even so the tongue is a little member, and boasteth great things. Behold, how great a matter a little fire kindleth! JAS-3: 6 And the tongue [is] a fire, a world of iniquity: so is the tongue among our members, that it defileth the whole body, and setteth on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire of hell. JAS-3: 7 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: JAS-3: 8 But the tongue can no man tame; [it is] an unruly evil, full of deadly poison. JAS-3: 9 Therewith bless we God, even the Father; and therewith curse we men, which are made after the similitude of God. JAS-3: 10 Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be. JAS-3: 11 Doth a fountain send forth at the same place sweet [water] and bitter? JAS-3: 12 Can the fig tree, my brethren, bear olive berries? either a vine, figs? so [can] no fountain both yield salt water and fresh. JAS-3: 13 Who [is] a wise man and endued with knowledge among you? let him show out of a good conversation his works with meekness of wisdom. JAS-3: 14 But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth. JAS-3: 15 This wisdom descendeth not from above, but [is] earthly, sensual, devilish. JAS-3: 16 For where envying and strife [is] , there [is] confusion and every evil work. JAS-3: 17 But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, [and] easy to be entreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy. JAS-3: 18 And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace. JAS-4: 1 From whence [come] wars and fightings among you? [come they] not hence, [even] of your lusts that war in your members? JAS-4: 2 Ye lust, and have not: ye kill, and desire to have, and cannot obtain: ye fight and war, yet ye have not, because ye ask not. JAS-4: 3 Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume [it] upon your lusts. JAS-4: 4 Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God. JAS-4: 5 Do ye think that the scripture saith in vain, The spirit that dwelleth in us lusteth to envy? JAS-4: 6 But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble. JAS-4: 7 Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. JAS-4: 8 Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse [your] hands, [ye] sinners; and purify [your] hearts, [ye] double minded. JAS-4: 9 Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and [your] joy to heaviness. JAS-4: 10 Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up. JAS-4: 11 Speak not evil one of another, brethren. He that speaketh evil of [his] brother, and judgeth his brother, speaketh evil of the law, and judgeth the law: but if thou judge the law, thou art not a doer of the law, but a judge. JAS-4: 12 There is one lawgiver, who is able to save and to destroy: who art thou that judgest another? JAS-4: 13 Go to now, ye that say, To day or to morrow we will go into such a city, and continue there a year, and buy and sell, and get gain: JAS-4: 14 Whereas ye know not what [shall be] on the morrow. For what [is] your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away.
