Löydetty 20764 Tulokset: Or

• Wantons, have you never been told that the world’s friendship means enmity with God, and the man who would have the world for his friend makes himself God’s enemy? (James 4, 4)

• No, the grace he gives us is something better still; and so he tells us, God flouts the scornful, and gives the humble man his grace.✻ (James 4, 6)

• humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will exalt you. (James 4, 10)

• Brethren, do not disparage one another. In disparaging one of his brethren, in passing judgement on him, a man disparages the law, passes judgement on the law; and in passing judgement on the law thou art setting thyself up to be its censor, instead of obeying it. (James 4, 11)

• Who art thou, to sit in judgement on thy neighbour?See how you go about saying, To-day, or to-morrow, we will make our way to such and such a town, spend a year there, and make profit by trading, (James 4, 13)

• when you have no means of telling what the morrow will bring. (James 4, 14)

• What is your life but a wisp of smoke, which shews for a moment and then must vanish into nothing? You ought to be saying, We will do this or that if it is the Lord’s will, and if life is granted us. (James 4, 15)

• Corruption has fallen on your riches; all the fine clothes are left moth-eaten, (James 5, 2)

• and the gold and silver have long lain rusting. That rust will bear witness against you, will bite into your flesh like flame. These are the last days given you, and you have spent them in heaping up a store of retribution.✻ (James 5, 3)

• You have kept back the pay of the workmen who reaped your lands, and it is there to cry out against you; the Lord of hosts has listened to their complaint. (James 5, 4)

• You have feasted here on earth, you have comforted your hearts with luxuries on this day that dooms you to slaughter. (James 5, 5)

• Wait, then, brethren, in patience for the Lord’s coming. See how the farmer looks forward to the coveted returns of his land, yet waits patiently for the early and the late rains to fall before they can be brought in.✻ (James 5, 7)
