To Be Determined

Uncategorized Scripture

:

This phrase, “Yet once more,” signifies the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that have been made, that those things which are not shaken may remain.

:

Therefore, receiving a Kingdom that can’t be shaken, let us have grace, through which we serve God acceptably, with reverence and awe,

:

for our God is a consuming fire.

:

Let brotherly love continue.

:

Don’t forget to show hospitality to strangers, for in doing so, some have entertained angels without knowing it.

:

Remember those who are in bonds, as bound with them; and those who are ill-treated, since you are also in the body.

:

Let marriage be held in honor among all, and let the bed be undefiled: but God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterers.

:

Be free from the love of money, content with such things as you have, for he has said, “I will in no way leave you, neither will I in any way forsake you.”

:

So that with good courage we say, “The Lord is my helper. I will not fear. What can man do to me?”

:

Remember your leaders, men who spoke to you the word of God, and considering the results of their conduct, imitate their faith.

:

Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.

:

Don’t be carried away by various and strange teachings, for it is good that the heart be established by grace, not by food, through which those who were so occupied were not benefited.

:

We have an altar from which those who serve the holy tabernacle have no right to eat.

:

For the bodies of those animals, whose blood is brought into the holy place by the high priest as an offering for sin, are burned outside of the camp.

:

Therefore Jesus also, that he might sanctify the people through his own blood, suffered outside of the gate.

:

Let us therefore go out to him outside of the camp, bearing his reproach.

:

For we don’t have here an enduring city, but we seek that which is to come.

:

Through him, then, let us offer up a sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of lips which proclaim allegiance to his name.

:

But don’t forget to be doing good and sharing, for with such sacrifices God is well pleased.

:

Obey your leaders and submit to them, for they watch on behalf of your souls, as those who will give account, that they may do this with joy, and not with groaning, for that would be unprofitable for you.

:

Pray for us, for we are persuaded that we have a good conscience, desiring to live honorably in all things.

:

I strongly urge you to do this, that I may be restored to you sooner.

:

Now may the God of peace, who brought again from the dead the great shepherd of the sheep with the blood of an eternal covenant, our Lord Jesus,

:

make you complete in every good work to do his will, working in you that which is well pleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom be the glory forever and ever. Amen.

:

But I exhort you, brothers, endure the word of exhortation, for I have written to you in few words.

:

Know that our brother Timothy has been freed, with whom, if he comes shortly, I will see you.

:

Greet all of your leaders and all the saints. The Italians greet you.

:

Grace be with you all. Amen.

:

James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which are in the Dispersion: Greetings.

:

Count it all joy, my brothers, when you fall into various temptations,

:

knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance.

:

Let endurance have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.

:

But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach; and it will be given to him.

:

But let him ask in faith, without any doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, driven by the wind and tossed.

:

For let that man not think that he will receive anything from the Lord.

:

He is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.

:

But let the brother in humble circumstances glory in his high position;

:

and the rich, in that he is made humble, because like the flower in the grass, he will pass away.

:

For the sun arises with the scorching wind, and withers the grass, and the flower in it falls, and the beauty of its appearance perishes. So also will the rich man fade away in his pursuits.

:

Blessed is the man who endures temptation, for when he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life, which the Lord promised to those who love him.

:

Let no man say when he is tempted, “I am tempted by God,” for God can’t be tempted by evil, and he himself tempts no one.

:

But each one is tempted, when he is drawn away by his own lust, and enticed.

:

Then the lust, when it has conceived, bears sin; and the sin, when it is full grown, brings forth death.

:

Don’t be deceived, my beloved brothers.

:

Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom can be no variation, nor turning shadow.

:

Of his own will he brought us forth by the word of truth, that we should be a kind of first fruits of his creatures.

:

So, then, my beloved brothers, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, and slow to anger;

:

for the anger of man doesn’t produce the righteousness of God.

:

Therefore, putting away all filthiness and overflowing of wickedness, receive with humility the implanted word, which is able to save your souls.

:

But be doers of the word, and not only hearers, deluding your own selves.

:

For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man looking at his natural face in a mirror;

:

for he sees himself, and goes away, and immediately forgets what kind of man he was.

:

But he who looks into the perfect law of freedom, and continues, not being a hearer who forgets, but a doer of the work, this man will be blessed in what he does.

:

If anyone among you thinks himself to be religious while he doesn’t bridle his tongue, but deceives his heart, this man’s religion is worthless.

:

Pure religion and undefiled before our God and Father is this: to visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained by the world.

:

My brothers, don’t hold the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ of glory with partiality.

:

For if a man with a gold ring, in fine clothing, comes into your synagogue, and a poor man in filthy clothing also comes in;

:

and you pay special attention to him who wears the fine clothing, and say, “Sit here in a good place;” and you tell the poor man, “Stand there,” or “Sit by my footstool;”

:

haven’t you shown partiality among yourselves, and become judges with evil thoughts?

:

Listen, my beloved brothers. Didn’t God choose those who are poor in this world to be rich in faith, and heirs of the Kingdom which he promised to those who love him?

:

But you have dishonored the poor man. Don’t the rich oppress you, and personally drag you before the courts?

:

Don’t they blaspheme the honorable name by which you are called?

:

However, if you fulfill the royal law, according to the Scripture, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself,” you do well.

:

But if you show partiality, you commit sin, being convicted by the law as transgressors.

:

For whoever keeps the whole law, and yet stumbles in one point, he has become guilty of all.

:

For he who said, “Do not commit adultery,” also said, “Do not commit murder.” Now if you do not commit adultery, but murder, you have become a transgressor of the law.

:

So speak, and so do, as men who are to be judged by a law of freedom.

:

For judgment is without mercy to him who has shown no mercy. Mercy triumphs over judgment.

:

What good is it, my brothers, if a man says he has faith, but has no works? Can faith save him?

:

And if a brother or sister is naked and in lack of daily food,

:

and one of you tells them, “Go in peace, be warmed and filled;” and yet you didn’t give them the things the body needs, what good is it?

:

Even so faith, if it has no works, is dead in itself.

:

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

:

You believe that God is one. You do well. The demons also believe, and shudder.

:

But do you want to know, vain man, that faith apart from works is dead?

:

Wasn’t Abraham our father justified by works, in that he offered up Isaac his son on the altar?

:

You see that faith worked with his works, and by works faith was perfected;

:

and the Scripture was fulfilled which says, “Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him as righteousness;” and he was called the friend of God.

:

You see then that by works, a man is justified, and not only by faith.

:

In the same way, wasn’t Rahab the prostitute also justified by works, in that she received the messengers, and sent them out another way?

:

For as the body apart from the spirit is dead, even so faith apart from works is dead.

:

Let not many of you be teachers, my brothers, knowing that we will receive heavier judgment.

:

For in many things we all stumble. If anyone doesn’t stumble in word, the same is a perfect man, able to bridle the whole body also.

:

Indeed, we put bits into the horses’ mouths so that they may obey us, and we guide their whole body.

:

Behold, the ships also, though they are so big and are driven by fierce winds, are yet guided by a very small rudder, wherever the pilot desires.

:

So the tongue is also a little member, and boasts great things. See how a small fire can spread to a large forest!

:

And the tongue is a fire. The world of iniquity among our members is the tongue, which defiles the whole body, and sets on fire the course of nature, and is set on fire by Gehenna.

:

For every kind of animal, bird, creeping thing, and thing in the sea, is tamed, and has been tamed by mankind.

:

But nobody can tame the tongue. It is a restless evil, full of deadly poison.

:

With it we bless our God and Father, and with it we curse men, who are made in the image of God.

:

Out of the same mouth comes forth blessing and cursing. My brothers, these things ought not to be so.

:

Does a spring send out from the same opening fresh and bitter water?

:

Can a fig tree, my brothers, yield olives, or a vine figs? Thus no spring yields both salt water and fresh water.

:

Who is wise and understanding among you? Let him show by his good conduct that his deeds are done in gentleness of wisdom.

:

But if you have bitter jealousy and selfish ambition in your heart, don’t boast and don’t lie against the truth.

:

This wisdom is not that which comes down from above, but is earthly, sensual, and demonic.

:

For where jealousy and selfish ambition are, there is confusion and every evil deed.

:

But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceful, gentle, reasonable, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.

:

Now the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace.

:

Where do wars and fightings among you come from? Don’t they come from your pleasures that war in your members?
