If anyone does not stumble in word and deed, he is a perfect man

47. Potrivit invataturilor duhovnicesti ale Sfintului Apostol Iacov, ca sa fi un om desavirsit

este suficient sa nu gresesti in vorbire. Pe ce se bazeaza acest adevar spus de Apostol?

According to the teaching of James, to be a perfect man entails not stumbling in word.  What is the truth based on?

  1. a) Prin vorbire se comit neleguirile cele mai mari

Through the tongue the greatest iniquities are committed

  1. b) Greselile prin vorbire ranesc cel mai mult

Through the tongue the deepest wounds are made

  1. c) Gura vorbeste din pisosul inimii, si daca nu gresesti in vorbire inseamna ca inima

ta este sanatoasa

The mouth speaks from the abundance of the heart, and if one does not stumble in word, his heart is pure

  1. d) Prin vorbele spuse cu gura, poti abate pe oameni de la calea credintei

Through words, we can sway people from the Way

48. Cind omul se intoarce la Dumnezeu prin credinta si sfinta pocainta, el intra in armata Domnului si automat intra in razboi impotriva Diavolului si ingerilor lui. Adeseori  Diavolul se napusteste cu furie impotriva alesilor lui Dumnezeu si trebuie sa scapi de atacul vrasmasului, adica sa-l faci sa plece de la tine.

Care este calea de reusita intr-o astfel de situatie pe care ne-o propune Sfintul Apostol Iacov in epistola sa?

When a man turns to God through faith and repentance, he becomes a soldier in the army of God and is consequently at war with the devil and his angels.  Many times the devil carries out strong attacks against God’s chosen people and they have to somehow withstand the attack of the devil so that he departs from them.  What is the way to achieve this according to the Epistle of James?

49. Apsotolul Iacov ne invata ca acolo unde este pizma si duh de cearta:

inima omului pizma amara si un duh de cearta este:

According to the teachings of James, the wisdom that brings bitter envy and self-seeking one’s heart is:

  1. a) Lipsita de valoare

  1. d) Intineaza trupul si aprinde roata vietii trimitind pe om in focul ghenei

52. Viata de credinta presupune sa traiesti in totala ascultare de Dumnezeu si de Cuvintul Sau,  traind si primind pe deplin cinstea de a fi rob al Domnului. Adeseori prin neveghere, si prin neascultare omul pote pierde cinstea de a fi rob al Domnului, ba chiar poate ajunge sa devina vrasmas al lui Dumnezeu. Exista o cale nedorita si foarte usor de a aluneca pe ea care te duce in aceasta stare nenorocita devenind vrasmas al lui Dumnezeu; despre aceasta cale vorbeste Sfintul Apostol Iacov in Epistola sa. Care este aceasta cale?

The Christian life is based on total obedience to God and His Word so that we may have the honour of being servants of God.  Many times through unawareness and disobedience, we may lose the status of servants of God and become enemies of God.  The Epistle of James speaks about the way we can become enemies of God.  What is it?
