Is anyone among you suffering? He should pray. Is anyone in good spirits? He should sing praises.

My brothers and sisters, if anyone among you wanders from the truth and someone turns him back,

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

By his sovereign plan he gave us birth through the message of truth, that we would be a kind of firstfruits of all he created.

But if anyone is deficient in wisdom, he should ask God, who gives to all generously and without reprimand, and it will be given to him.

For if someone merely listens to the message and does not live it out, he is like someone who gazes at his own face in a mirror.

If someone thinks he is religious yet does not bridle his tongue, and so deceives his heart, his religion is futile.

What good is it, my brothers and sisters, if someone claims to have faith but does not have works? Can this kind of faith save him?

For we all stumble in many ways. If someone does not stumble in what he says, he is a perfect individual, able to control the entire body as well.

Is anyone among you ill? He should summon the elders of the church, and they should pray for him and anoint him with oil in the name of the Lord.

and one of you says to them, “Go in peace, keep warm and eat well,” but you do not give them what the body needs, what good is it?

But someone will say, “You have faith and I have works.” Show me your faith without works and I will show you faith by my works.

And above all, my brothers and sisters, do not swear, either by heaven or by earth or by any other oath. But let your “Yes” be yes and your “No” be no, so that you may not fall into judgment.
