For if a man be a hearer of the word and not a doer of it, this (man) is like one who vieweth his face in a mirror;

But every one who looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he is not a hearer of the hearing of forgetfulness, but a doer of works; and this shall be blessed in his work.

And if a man thinketh that he serveth [fn] Aloha, and holdeth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, of this man his service is vain.

WHAT is the use [fn] my brethren, if a man say, I have faith, and works he hath not ? How can his faith save him ?

Our father Abraham, was he not by works justified, when he offered Ishok his son on the altar?

Thou seest that his faith was helpful [fn] unto his works; and by works his faith was perfected,

For (in) many we all offend. Every one who in word offendeth not, this is a perfect man, who is able to make subject also all his body.

Who of you is wise and instructed ? let him show his works in good conversations in meek wisdom.

Speak not against one another, my brethren; for he who speaketh against his brother, or judgeth his brother, speaketh against the law, and judgeth the law. And if the law thou judgest, thou art not a doer of the law, but the judge of it.

BUT you, my brethren, prolong your spirit until the coming of the Lord; as the husbandman who expecteth the precious fruits of his lands, and prolongeth his spirit for them, until he receive the rain the early and the latter;

my brethren, if any of you shall err from the way of truth, and one shall convert him from his error,

let him know, that he who turneth a sinner from the error of his way, saveth his soul from death, and hideth the multitude of his sins.

Blessed be Aloha, the Father of our Lord Jeshu Meshiha, who by his abundant grace hath begotten us anew through the resurrection of our Lord Jeshu Meshiha unto the hope of salvation,

and searched into, what time the Spirit of the Meshiha who dwelt in them showed and testified of the future sufferings of the Meshiha, and his glory which (should be) after them.

And if you call him Father before whom there is no respect of persons, and who judgeth every man according to his works, with fear conduct you in this time of your sojourn;

9 But you are a chosen race, who minister as priests to the kingdom [fn] a holy people, a congregation redeemed to announce the praises of him who hath called you from darkness to his transcendant light:

For unto this have you been called; because the Meshiha also hath died for us, and left us this example, that in his steps we may walk.

Who did no sin, nor was guile found in his mouth;

who was reviled and reviled not, and suffered and threatened not, but delivered his cause to the Judge of righteousness;

24 and took all our sins and upbore [fn] them in his body on the cross; that when dead to sin, in the righteousness of him we might live; for by his stripes you are healed,
