Here are some more parallel passages between James and the Gospels.
James 2:5 parallels Matthew 5:3,5
James 2:6 parallels Luke 18:3 and Luke 20:47
James 2:8 parallels Matthew 22:39
James 2:11 parallels Matthew 5:21
James 2:13 parallels Matthew 5:7
James 2:14 parallels Matthew 25:21-46
James 2:15 parallels Matthew 6:25
The book of James is knit really close together with the sayings of Jesus in the Gospels. The writer of James must have had a deep and long lasting relationship with Jesus. How well are we "knitted" with Jesus. Do the words we speak echo the words Jesus? The Psalmist said, "I have hidden your words in my heart that I might not sin against you" (Psalm 119:11 NIV).
