Yakobus 2:11
Konteks2:11 For he who said, “Do not commit adultery,” 1 also said, “Do not murder.” 2 Now if you do not commit adultery but do commit murder, you have become a violator of the law.
Yakobus 4:3
Konteks4:3 you ask and do not receive because you ask wrongly, so you can spend it on your passions.
Yakobus 5:5
Konteks5:5 You have lived indulgently and luxuriously on the earth. You have fattened your hearts in a day of slaughter. 3
