Jesus

And to Jesus the mediator of the new testament, and to the sprinkling of blood which speaketh better than that of Abel.

See that you refuse him not that speaketh. For if they escaped not who refused him that spoke upon earth, much more shall not we that turn away from him that speaketh to us from heaven.

Whose voice then moved the earth; but now he promiseth, saying: Yet once more: and I will move, not only the earth, but heaven also.

So that we may confidently say: The Lord is my helper: I will not fear what man shall do to me.

Jesus Christ, yesterday, and today: and the same for ever.

Wherefore Jesus also, that he might sanctify the people by his own blood, suffered without the gate.

Let us go forth therefore to him without the camp, bearing his reproach.

By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise always to God, that is to say, the fruit of lips confessing to his name.

And may the God of peace, who brought again from the dead the great pastor of the sheep, our Lord Jesus Christ, in the blood of the everlasting testament,

Fit you in all goodness, that you may do his will; doing in you that which is well pleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom is glory for ever and ever. Amen.

James, the servant of God and of our Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which are scattered abroad, greeting.

Therefore let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord.

Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for, when he hath been proved, he shall receive the crown of life which God hath promised to them that love him.

For of his own will hath he begotten us by the word of truth, that we might be some beginning of his creature.

My brethren, have not the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ of glory, with respect of persons.

For he that said: Thou shalt not commit adultery, said also: Thou shalt not kill. Now if thou do not commit adultery, but shalt kill, thou art become a transgressor of the law.

But he giveth greater grace. Wherefore he saith: God resisteth the proud and giveth grace to the humble.

Be humbled in the sight of the Lord: and he will exalt you.

For what is your life? It is a vapour which appeareth for a little while and afterwards shall vanish away. For that you should say: If the Lord will, and, If we shall live, we will do this or that.

Behold the hire of the labourers who have reaped down your fields, which by fraud has been kept back by you, crieth: and the cry of them hath entered into the ears of the Lord of Sabaoth.

Be patient therefore, brethren, until the coming of the Lord. Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth: patiently bearing till he receive the early and latter rain.

Be you therefore also patient and strengthen your hearts: for the coming of the Lord is at hand.

Grudge not, brethren, one against another, that you may not be judged. Behold the judge standeth before the door.

Take, my brethren, for example of suffering evil, of labour and patience, the prophets who spoke in the name of the Lord.

Behold, we account them blessed who have endured. You have heard of the patience of Job and you have seen the end of the Lord, that the Lord is merciful and compassionate.
