For that person must not suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord,

For he gazes at himself and then goes out and immediately forgets what sort of person he was.

But he must ask in faith without doubting, for the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed around by the wind.

For if someone comes into your assembly wearing a gold ring and fine clothing, and a poor person enters in filthy clothes,

For the one who obeys the whole law but fails in one point has become guilty of all of it.
