James 2:1, It is not agreeable to Christian profession to regard the rich, and to despise the poor brethren; James 2:13, rather we are to be loving and merciful; James 2:14, and not to boast of faith where no deeds are; James 2:17, which is but a dead faith; James 2:19, the faith of the devils; James 2:21, not of Abraham; James 2:25, nor Rahab.
