59:002:024 Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by
           faith only.

59:002:025 Likewise also was not Rahab the harlot justified by works,
           when she had received the messengers, and had sent them out
           another way?

59:002:026 For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without
           works is dead also.

59:003:001 My brethren, be not many masters, knowing that we shall
           receive the greater condemnation.

59:003:002 For in many things we offend all.  If any man offend not in
           word, the same is a perfect man, and able also to bridle the
           whole body.

59:003:003 Behold, we put bits in the horses’ mouths, that they may obey
           us; and we turn about their whole body.

59:003:004 Behold also the ships, which though they be so great, and are
           driven of fierce winds, yet are they turned about with a very
           small helm, whithersoever the governor listeth.

59:003:005 Even so the tongue is a little member, and boasteth great
           things.  Behold, how great a matter a little fire kindleth!

59:003:006 And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity:  so is the
           tongue among our members, that it defileth the whole body, and
           setteth on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire of
           hell.

59:003:007 For every kind of beasts, and of birds, and of serpents, and
           of things in the sea, is tamed, and hath been tamed of
           mankind: 

59:003:008 But the tongue can no man tame; it is an unruly evil, full of
           deadly poison.

59:003:009 Therewith bless we God, even the Father; and therewith curse
           we men, which are made after the similitude of God.

59:003:010 Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing.  My
           brethren, these things ought not so to be.

59:003:011 Doth a fountain send forth at the same place sweet water and
           bitter?

59:003:012 Can the fig tree, my brethren, bear olive berries? either a
           vine, figs? so can no fountain both yield salt water and
           fresh.

59:003:013 Who is a wise man and endued with knowledge among you? let him
           shew out of a good conversation his works with meekness of
           wisdom.

59:003:014 But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory
           not, and lie not against the truth.

59:003:015 This wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthly,
           sensual, devilish.

59:003:016 For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every
           evil work.

59:003:017 But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then
           peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and
           good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.
