James: Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says. (James 1:22)

Jesus: Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. (Matt 7:24)


James: Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world. (James 1:27)

Jesus: Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.’ (Matt 25:34-36)


James: What good is it, my brothers, if a man claims to have faith but has no deeds? Can such faith save him? (James 2:14)

Jesus: Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.
(Matt 7:21)


James: The tongue also is a fire, a world of evil among the parts of the body. It corrupts the whole person, sets the whole course of his life on fire, and is itself set on fire by hell. (James 3:6)

Jesus: But the things that come out of the mouth come from the heart, and these make a man unclean. (Matt 15:18)


James: My brothers, can a fig tree bear olives, or a grapevine bear figs? Neither can a salt spring produce fresh water. (James 3:12)

Jesus: By their fruit you will recognize them. Do people pick grapes from thornbushes, or figs from thistles? Likewise every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit. (Matt 7:16-19)


James: But you—who are you to judge your neighbor? (James 4:12b)
Don’t grumble against each other, brothers, or you will be judged. The Judge is standing at the door! (James 5:9)

Jesus: Do not judge, or you too will be judged. (Matt 7:1)


James: Anyone, then, who knows the good he ought to do and doesn’t do it, sins. (James 4:17)

Jesus: That servant who knows his master’s will and does not get ready or does not do what his master wants will be beaten with many blows. But the one who does not know and does things deserving punishment will be beaten with few blows. (Luke 2:47-48)


James: As you know, we consider blessed those who have persevered. (James 5:11)

Jesus: Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. (Matt 5:10)


James: Above all, my brothers, do not swear—not by heaven or by earth or by anything else. Let your “Yes” be yes, and your “No,” no, or you will be condemned. (James 5:12)

Jesus: And do not swear by your head, for you cannot make even one hair white or black. Simply let your ‘Yes’ be ‘Yes,’ and your ‘No,’ ‘No’; anything beyond this comes from the evil one. (Matt 5:36-37)
