The verses these writers stop at
- 1:22 Be people who carry out the word, not just people who hear it. Otherwise you are fooling yourselves. 44
- 1:5 If any of you is short of wisdom, ask God, who gives to everyone with an open hand and without scolding, and it will be given to you. 31
- 1:17 Every good act of giving and every perfect gift is from above. It comes down from the Father of the lights in the sky, in whom there is no change, and no shadow cast by turning. 21
- 1:27 To God the Father, religion that is pure and untainted looks like this: going to the help of orphans and widows in their trouble, and keeping yourself unstained by the world. 18
- 1:6 But you must ask in faith, without wavering. Anyone who wavers is like a wave out at sea, driven by the wind and thrown this way and that. 15
- 1:18 It was his will to give us birth through the word of truth, so that we might be something like the firstfruits among all he has created. 11
- 1:12 Blessed is anyone who endures through trial. When they have been proved genuine, they will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love him. 9
- 1:14 Rather, each person is tempted by their own desire, which draws them out and lures them like bait. 9
- 1:2 My brothers and sisters, whenever you find yourselves in trials of every sort, regard it as a reason for great joy, 8
- 1:4 Let endurance carry its work through to the end, so that you may be mature and whole, with nothing missing. 6
- 1:7 Such a person must not expect to receive anything from the Lord. 5
- 1:19 Be sure of this, my dear brothers and sisters. Every person should be eager to listen, slow to speak, and slow to anger, 5
- 1:23 Anyone who hears the word but does not carry it out is like a man studying his own face in a mirror. 5
- 1:25 But whoever looks closely into the perfect law of freedom and stays with it, not hearing and then forgetting but doing the work, will be blessed in what they do. 5
- 1:13 No one who is tempted should say, "God is tempting me." For God is beyond the reach of evil's temptation, and he never tempts anyone. 4
- 1:21 So take off all that is filthy and the wickedness that overflows, and with a gentle spirit welcome the word rooted in you, which has the power to save your souls. 4
- 1:20 for human anger does not accomplish the righteousness of God. 3
- 1:3 because you know that the testing your faith goes through produces endurance. 2
- 1:15 Desire conceives and bears sin, and sin, once it is full grown, gives birth to death. 2
- 1:24 He looks himself over, goes away, and at once forgets what he looked like. 2
- 1:8 They are of two minds and unsteady in all they do. 1
- 1:16 Do not be fooled, my dear brothers and sisters. 1
