The Argument

James the Apostle and son of Alpheus wrote this Epistle to the Jews which were converted to Christ, but dispersed throughout divers countries, and therefore he exhorteth them to patience and prayer, to embrace the true word of God, and not to be partial, neither to boast of an idle faith, but to declare a true faith by lively fruits, to avoid ambition, to bridle the tongue, to rule the affections, to be humble and love their neighbors, to beware of swearing, to utter their faults when they have offended, to pray one for another, and to bring him which is out of the way, to the knowledge of Christ.
