The Catholic Epistle
of St. James the Apostle

Chapter 1 - The benefit of tribulations. Prayer with faith. God is the author of all good, but not of evil. We must be slow to anger and not hearers only, but doers of the word. Of bridling the tongue and of pure religion. Chapter 2 - Against respect of persons. The danger of transgressing one point of the law. Faith is dead without works. Chapter 3 - Of the evils of the tongue. Of the difference between the earthly and heavenly wisdom. Chapter 4 - The evils that flow from yielding to concupiscence and being friends to this world. Admonitions against pride, detraction and the like. Chapter 5 - A woe to the rich that oppress the poor. Exhortations to patience and to avoid swearing. Of the anointing the sick, confession of sins and fervour in prayer.
