TSK · James 4:8

¶ And Abraham drew near, and said, Wilt thou also destroy the righteous with the wicked?

And he went out to meet Asa, and said unto him, Hear ye me, Asa, and all Judah and Benjamin; The LORD [is] with you, while ye be with him; and if ye seek him, he will be found of you; but if ye forsake him, he will forsake you.

¶ Not for [any] injustice in mine hands: also my prayer [is] pure.

¶ The LORD rewarded me according to my righteousness; according to the cleanness of my hands hath he recompensed me.

¶ I will wash mine hands in innocency: so will I compass thine altar, O LORD:

Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.

‹Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye make clean the outside of the cup and of the platter, but within they are full of extortion and excess.›

And the Lord said unto him, ‹Now do ye Pharisees make clean the outside of the cup and the platter; but your inward part is full of ravening and wickedness.›

¶ Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.

For the law made nothing perfect, but the bringing in of a better hope [did]; by the which we draw nigh unto God.

A double minded man [is] unstable in all his ways.

¶ The like figure whereunto [even] baptism doth also now save us (not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God,) by the resurrection of Jesus Christ:
