James 3:1

---

← James 2:26	James 3:1 (KJV)	James 3:2 →
For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.	My brethren, be not many masters, knowing that we shall receive the greater condemnation.	For in many things we offend all. If any man offend not in word, the same [is] a perfect man, [and] able also to bridle the whole body.
