since he is a double-minded individual, unstable in all his ways.

And similarly, was not Rahab the prostitute also justified by works when she welcomed the messengers and sent them out by another way?

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.

he should know that the one who turns a sinner back from his wandering path will save that person’s soul from death and will cover a multitude of sins.

For the sun rises with its heat and dries up the meadow; the petal of the flower falls off and its beauty is lost forever. So also the rich person in the midst of his pursuits will wither away.

Do not be led astray, my dear brothers and sisters.

My brothers and sisters, consider it nothing but joy when you fall into all sorts of trials,

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

But each one is tempted when he is lured and enticed by his own desires.

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

So also faith, if it does not have works, is dead being by itself.

From the same mouth come blessing and cursing. These things should not be so, my brothers and sisters.

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

Who is wise and understanding among you? By his good conduct he should show his works done in the gentleness that wisdom brings.

But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, accommodating, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial, and not hypocritical.
