Not illustrated. 1869 Excerpt: ...life unto life;" and foretelling the growth of "evil men and seducers " after his departure.2 12. Observe the agreement of sentiment in the following texts: St. James; taught by his Lord and Master; says; " Be ye doers of the word; and not hearers only; deceiving your own selves." St. Paul nearly in the same words; "Not the hearers of the law are just before God; but the doers of the law shall be justified."3 Again; did we not know whence the following passages come; should we not assign them to St. James?" God will render to every man according to his deeds; to them; who by patient continuance in well-doing; seek for glory; and honour; and immortality; eternal life; but unto them that are contentious; and do not obey the truth; but obey unrighteousness; indignation; and wrath.... for there is no respect of persons with God." This; as well as the text just cited; is to be found in the opening of that Epistle; in which St. Paul appears most to differ from St. James; now observe how he closes it. "Why dost thou judge thy brother? And why dost thou set at nought thy brother? For we shall all stand before the judgment-seat of Christ.... Every one of us shall give account of himself to God."

Review
0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Vivid interpretation of earlier translated work in French/English. Nice book for mass audience; but academically not interestingBy CustomerIts's a shame that a well established publisher like Routledge published this without some background research. The translation of the verses is very rough popular interpretation of the earlier more scholarly published in French or English. To attract a wide audience yes; it's a nice book. If you are interested in a better translation without the vivid interpretation of Karen Pechilis; you need to stick to the earlier translations.
