7Do not they speake evyll of that good name after which ye be named.Select James 2:7
8Yf ye fulfill the royall lawe accordynge to the scripture which sayth. Thou shallt love thyne neghbour as thy silfe ye do well.Select James 2:8

10Whosoever shall kepe the whole lawe and yet fayle in one poynt he is gyltie in all.Select James 2:10

13For ther shalbe iudgement merciles to him that sheweth no mercy and mercy reioyseth agaynst iudgement:Select James 2:13
14What a vayleth it my brethren though a man saye he hath sayth when he hath no dedes? Can fayth save him?Select James 2:14
15If a brother or a sister be naked or destitute of dayly fodeSelect James 2:15
16and one of you saye vnto them: Departe in peace God sende you warmnes and fode: not withstondinge ye geve the not tho thynges which are nedfull to the body: what helpeth it the?Select James 2:16
