James

James 1:22

Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. 

Do what it says.

James 2:17

In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead.

Two Kinds of Wisdom

Who is wise and understanding among you?

Let them show it by their good life, 

by deeds done in the humility that comes from wisdom.

James 3:16

For where you have envy and selfish ambition, 

there you find disorder and every evil practice

James 3:18

Peacemakers who sow in peace reap a harvest of righteousness

James 4:2-3

You desire but do not have, so you kill.

You covet but you cannot get what you want, so you quarrel and fight.

You do not have because you do not ask God.

When you ask, you do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, that you may spend what you get on your pleasures

James 4:12

There is only one Lawgiver and Judge, the one who is able to save and destroy. 

But you—who are you to judge your neighbor?

James 4:17

If anyone, then, knows the good they ought to do and doesn’t do it, it is sin for them.

James 5:11

As you know, we count as blessed those who have persevered. You have heard of Job’s perseverance and have seen what the Lord finally brought about. The Lord is full of compassion and mercy

James 5:16

Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective.
