As it is, you boast in your arrogance. All such boasting is evil. Whoever knows what is right to do and fails to do it, for him it is sin.
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 be no....
For as the body apart from the spirit is dead, so faith apart from works is dead.
Let not many of you become teachers, my brethren, for you know that we who teach shall be judged with greater strictness.
What does it profit, my brethren, if a man says he has faith but has not works? Can his faith save him?
