JAMES OF ACTS 15 COMPARED WITH THE BOOK OF JAMES
Acts 15:25It seemed good unto us, being assembled with one accord, to send chosen men unto you with OUR BELOVED Barnabas and Paul,
James 1:16Do not err, MY BELOVED BRETHREN.
James 1:19Wherefore, my BELOVED BRETHREN, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath:
Acts 15:13And after they had held their peace, JAMES ANSWERED, saying, Men and BRETHREN, HEARKEN UNTO ME:
James 2:5HEARKEN, my BELOVED BRETHREN, Hath not God chosen the poor of this world rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which he hath promised to them that love him?
Acts 15:19Therefore I judge that we should not trouble those from among the Gentiles who are TURNING to God,
James 5:19–20Brethren, if anyone among you wanders from the truth, and someone TURNS him back, 20let him know that he who TURNS a sinner from the error of his way will save a soul from death and cover a multitude of sins.
Acts 15:14Simeon hath declared how God at the first did VISIT the Gentiles, to take out of them a people for his name.
