New King James Version Of The Holy Bible

" The holy work of god has to be attended to and if we are crushed and humbled to the very dust, as also laughing stocks to all who know us, we must be faithful and look for rest and peace only in heaven"

And therefore, a man must know how to estimate a sour face.” He praises those who choose not to conform to society. For, “a foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds,...with consistency a great soul has simply nothing to do.” Then he goes back to commanding, telling us, “Speak what you think now in harsh words and tomorrow speak...in harsh words again though it contradict everything you said today.” And to finish this, coax us that his authority and ridiculing are in good faith, he tells us that although speaking in such a way may cause us to be misunderstood, he says, “To be great is to be misunderstood.” This last sentence completely shows us his command and ridicule, both in one well

The book of James has created disputations amongst its readers for years. Like almost all of the New Testament writings, contemporary readers have questions about it origin, composition, and content.
