I have brought the Gentiles to God by my message and by the way I lived before them. 19 I have won them over by the miracles done through me as signs from God--all by the power of God’s Spirit. In this way, I have fully presented the Good News of ...read more

James makes his case that biased judgment is wrong through four rhetorical questions he will ask, expecting an affirmative answer.
