59:001:023 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:
59:001:024 For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway
forgetteth what manner of man he was.
59:001:025 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.
59:001:026 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.
59:001:027 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.
59:002:001 My brethren, have not the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, the
Lord of glory, with respect of persons.
59:002:002 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;
59:002:003 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:
59:002:004 Are ye not then partial in yourselves, and are become judges
of evil thoughts?
59:002:005 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?
59:002:006 But ye have despised the poor. Do not rich men oppress you,
and draw you before the judgment seats?
59:002:007 Do not they blaspheme that worthy name by the which ye are
called?
59:002:008 If ye fulfil the royal law according to the scripture, Thou
shalt love thy neighbour as thyself, ye do well:
59:002:009 But if ye have respect to persons, ye commit sin, and are
convinced of the law as transgressors.
59:002:010 For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one
point, he is guilty of all.
59:002:011 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.
59:002:012 So speak ye, and so do, as they that shall be judged by the
law of liberty.
59:002:013 For he shall have judgment without mercy, that hath shewed no
mercy; and mercy rejoiceth against judgment.
59:002:014 What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath
faith, and have not works? can faith save him?
59:002:015 If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food,
