“ Has not God chosen those whom the world regards as poor to be rich in faith and heirs of the Kingdom which He has promised to those that love Him?002:006 But *you* have put dishonour upon the poor man. Yet is it not the rich who grind you down? Are not they the very people who drag you into the Law courts?—002:007 and the very people who speak evil of the noble Name by which you are called? ”

“ You have stupefied yourselves with gross feeding; but a day of slaughter has come.005:006 You have condemned—you have murdered—the righteous man: he offers no resistance.005:007 Be patient therefore, brethren, until the Coming of the Lord. Notice how eagerly a farmer waits for a valuable crop! He is patient over it till it has received the early and the later rain.005:008 So you also must be patient: keeping up your courage; for the Coming of the Lord is now close at hand.005:009 Do not cry out in condemnation of one another, brethren, lest you come under judgement. ”

“ Is it not the cravings which are ever at war within you for various pleasures?004:002 You covet things and yet cannot get them; you commit murder; you have passionate desires and yet cannot gain your end; you begin to fight and make war. You have not, because you do not pray ”
