2 Your wealth is rotten, and your clothes are moth-eaten. (Analogies, comparisons, parables).
3 Your gold and silver are rusted, and their rust will be a testimony against you and will eat your flesh like fire: you have gathered treasure for yourselves for the last days. (Analogies, comparisons, parables).
4 Behold, the wages withheld by you from the laborers who have reaped your fields are crying out, and the cries of the reapers have come to the ears of the LORD of hosts. (The Lord of Hosts – Yahweh, Sabaoth – (from Hebrew. cebabot – militant) – and Judaism is one of the epithets of the god Yahweh).
5 You have been luxuriating on earth and enjoying yourselves; you have filled your hearts as if for the day of the slaughter. (The «chosen ones» behaved «incorrectly»).
6 You condemned and killed the righteous man; he did not resist you. (The «chosen ones» behaved «incorrectly»).
7 Therefore, brethren, be patient until the coming of the LORD. Behold, the farmer waits for the precious fruit from the earth and endures for him for a long time until he receives early and late rain. (A call for long-suffering «until the coming of the Lord.» Analogies, comparisons, parables).
8 Be patient, too, and strengthen your hearts, because the coming of the LORD is coming. (A call to long-suffering, «the coming of the Lord is coming.» So far, no «coming» has been observed!).
9 Do not complain, brethren, against one another, lest you be condemned: behold, the judge is standing at the door. (Condemnation by groans and complaints, allegedly «The Judge is at the door»).

11 Behold, we please those who have endured. You have heard about Job’s patience and have seen the end from the Lord, for the Lord is very merciful and compassionate. (God acts according to Talion’s rule: you are for me, I am for you).
12 But first of all, my brethren, swear neither by heaven nor by earth, nor by any other oath, but let it be with you, «Yes, yes,» and «no, no,» so that you do not fall under condemnation. (Oaths are forbidden, it is necessary to answer clearly: «yes, yes» and «no, no», otherwise you will be condemned).
13 If any of you suffer, let him pray. If anyone is cheerful, let him sing psalms. (In the case when someone suffers because of evil, then pray and sing psalms).
14 If any of you is sick, let him call the elders of the Church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord. (Presbyter (Greek) – letters, elder; leader of the community of the first Christians. In the Apostolic Church, both presbyters and bishops were sometimes called that, without strict distinction. The apostles themselves were called presbyters, or elders. Oil is olive oil; in ancient times it was used not only for food, but also for cosmetic and medicinal purposes, in sacred rites of anointing).
15 And the prayer of faith will heal the sick, and the LORD will raise him up; and if he has committed sins, they will be forgiven him. (Prayer is an appeal to God or to other supernatural forces (in modern terms, auto-training, auto-suggestion). It goes back to «pray», and then to «pray». In other languages, the same root expressed a similar meaning. For example, in the language of the Hittites, a people who lived in Asia Minor in the III- II millennium BC, the word «maltai» meant «to ask». The German «melden» is also related. Today its meaning is to report, and in Old German it was used in the meanings: to name, indicate, notify. Compare the Russian verb «to pray» in the meaning of «to ask», «to pray» – to ask yourself, i.e. to be complacent, to inspire yourself with something, bolg. «praying» – «to ask»).
16 Confess your transgressions to one another and pray for one another to be healed: the intense prayer of the righteous can do much. (Suggestion of the need for confession and prayer).
17 Elijah was a man like us, and he prayed with prayer that it would not rain: and it did not rain on the earth for three years and six months. (Link to the Old Testament history).
18 And he prayed again: and heaven gave rain, and the earth brought forth her fruit. (Hypersensitive psychic shamans had a premonition of the approach of thunderstorms and rains).
19 Brethren! if any of you deviate from the truth, and who converts him, (The need for «re-education» of sinners).
20 Let him know that he who converts a sinner from his false way will save his soul from death and will cover a multitude of sins. (The need to «re-educate» sinners. James, the brother of the Lord – one of the brothers of Jesus Christ; later became a representative of the Jerusalem Church (Mt 13.55; Acts 12.17). Tradition attributes the message of Judas to the brother of the apostle James. However, it is obvious that the author is an unknown Jewish Christian who, using the name of the apostle, created a message in defense of the faith. This epistle is entirely devoted to practical and moral issues, more than other texts it looks like the Sermon on the Mount, and in style it resembles the Old Testament book of Proverbs. The message is written in exquisite Greek. According to the content and form of the work, it can be assumed that it was created at the end of the first or at the beginning of the second century by an educated Christian Jew who wished to express his ideas about morality in writing. This epistle was included in the canon only at the beginning of the fifth century. Luther called the epistle of James a «straw epistle» and did not include it in the Protestant Bible).

Asia (Asia, from the Phoenician «sunrise», Europe – from the Phoenician «sunset») is the name of the Roman province, which included the western part of Asia Minor and the Greek cities of Asia Minor (Pergamum, Smyrna, Miletus, Ephesus). Asia was annexed to Rome in 133 BC by the will of the Pergamon king Attalus III, but there were constant uprisings against the Romans, which were brutally suppressed. Bithynia is a historical region in the north—west of Asia Minor, about 700 BC inhabited by Thracian tribes of Bithynians, was under the rule of Lydia, Achaemenids, from 297 to 74 BC. an independent kingdom, conquered by Rome. «The chosen ones» – they are de «chosen» by God, in fact, by the Christian priests who are forming to promote a new religion. Suggestion of exclusivity, «being chosen»).
2 According to the foreknowledge of God the Father, with sanctification from the Spirit, to obedience and sprinkling with the Blood of Jesus Christ: grace to you and peace be multiplied. (Mention of God the father Yahweh; Spirit is a three—dimensional concept, including a hypnotic state, a person’s character, his abilities, etc.; Jesus Christ and his blood, blood has a sacred meaning).
3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who in his great mercy has revived us by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead to the hope of the living, (Praise Yahweh, who raised up his son. The question arises: why was it necessary to kill him then?!, so this is a show performance, because Yahweh’s finale should, from a religious point of view, be known).
4 to the incorruptible, pure, unfading inheritance, stored in heaven for you, (People of antiquity believed that «gods» «live» in heaven, who only do what they check their «chosen people», they have nothing else to do!).
5 by the power of God, through the faith of those who are kept to salvation, ready to be revealed in the last time. («By the power of God, through the faith of those who are kept to salvation,» a certain mystery will be revealed, as if).

11 examining to which and at what time the Spirit of Christ who was in them indicated, when He foretold Christ’s sufferings and the glory that followed them. (The «Spirit» foreshadowed something, in a state of hypnotic trance, the prophets talked about anything, but their commentators (backstage priests-hypnotists) «prophesied» as it was beneficial to them).
12 It was revealed to them that not to themselves, but to us, was served by what has now been preached to you by those who preached the gospel by the Holy Spirit sent from heaven, into which the Angels desire to penetrate. (The messenger angels are the backstage priests-hypnotists).
13 Therefore, (beloved), girding up the loins of your mind, while you are awake, put your full trust in the grace that is being given to you in the appearance of Jesus Christ. (It is suggested to rely «on the grace given to you in the appearance of Jesus Christ»).
14 As obedient children, do not conform to the former lusts that were in your ignorance (It is necessary to fight with lusts).
15 But, following the example of the Holy One who called you, be holy yourself in all your actions. (The «Saint who called you» – that is, the hypnotist-priest, it is necessary to be «holy in all actions», that is, obedient and compliant).
16 For it is written, Be holy, because I am holy. (Suggestion of submission and «holiness»).
17 And if you call the Father of the One who judges everyone according to their deeds without prejudice, then spend the time of your journey with fear (Personification of God, who «judges», instilling fear).
18 knowing that you have not been redeemed with perishable silver or gold from the vain life that was given to you from the fathers (Analogy with «not perishable silver or gold», which is contrasted with the vain life «given to you from the fathers»).
19 But the precious Blood of Christ, as the immaculate and pure Lamb, (the «precious» blood of Jesus Christ (the «immaculate and pure Lamb») is contrasted with the eternal life of the ancestors of the Jews).
20 who was destined before the creation of the world, but appeared in the last times for you, (Allegedly, Jesus appeared in the world to reveal himself as an «immaculate and pure Lamb»).
21 Those who believed through him in God, who raised him from the dead and gave him glory, so that you might have faith and trust in God. (All sorts of verbal tricks designed to inspire faith in the atoning sacrifice that Yahweh allegedly made in the form of the slaughter of his son).

2 Like newborn babies, love the pure verbal milk, so that you may grow from it to salvation; (Analogies and comparisons).
3 For you have tasted that the LORD is good. (You were told that supposedly Lord God is doing everything for the good).
4 Approaching Him, a living stone, rejected by men, but chosen by God, precious, (Analogies and comparisons).
5 And yourselves, like living stones, make of yourselves a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, in order to offer spiritual sacrifices favorable to God by Jesus Christ. (The concept of «holy priesthood» applies to the apostles and Jesus Christ).
6 For it is written in the Scripture: Behold, I lay in Zion a corner stone, chosen, precious; and he who believes in it will not be ashamed. (Constant references to the Jewish «sacred» scriptures).
7 So he is a jewel for you believers, but for unbelievers he is a stone that the builders rejected, but which has become the head of the corner, a stumbling block and a stone of temptation (Analogies and comparisons).
8 against which they stumble, not obeying the word, to which they are abandoned. (Analogies and comparisons).

12 and to lead a virtuous life among the Gentiles, so that they, for what they slander you as evildoers, when they see your good deeds, glorify God on the day of the visitation. (The pagans, «having seen your good deeds,» began to «glorify Yahweh on the day of the visitation,» and if they did not see, then they did not glorify Yahweh).

16 as free, not as using freedom to cover up evil, but as servants of God. («Servants of God» – under the slave-owning system, slaves should be «silent tools»).
17 Honor all, love the brotherhood, fear God, honor the king. (The attitude of submission, slavery, non-resistance to evil by violence. This is very beneficial to slaveholders and the priesthood).
18 Servants, obey the masters with all fear, not only the kind and meek, but also the severe ones. (The attitude of submission, slavery, non-resistance to evil by violence. This is very beneficial to slaveholders and the priesthood).
19 For it is pleasing to God, if anyone, thinking of God, endures sorrows, suffering unjustly. (It pleases not a fictional god, but slaveholders and priests to keep slaves in a religious «collar»).
20 For what kind of praise is it if you endure being beaten for your transgressions? But if, while doing good and suffering, you endure, it pleases God. (It is necessary to do good and endure, even if you are beaten, it is pleasing to God. It pleases not a fictional god, but slaveholders and priests to keep slaves in a religious «collar»).
21 For you are called to this, because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example to follow in his footsteps. (The «vocation» was, from the author’s point of view, to be an obedient slave, Christ «suffered», they say, and everyone should suffer).
22 He had committed no sin, and there was no flattery in his mouth. (Praise of Jesus Christ).
23 Being slandered, he did not slander one another; suffering, he did not threaten, but delivered it up to the Righteous Judge. (Praise of Jesus Christ).

25 For you were like sheep wandering (having no shepherd), but now you have returned to the Shepherd and the Guardian of your souls. (Analogies and comparisons).

3 Let not the external braiding of your hair, not golden headdresses or smartness in clothes be your adornment (Women should lead the «right» life).
4 But the inmost of the heart is a man in the incorruptible [beauty] of a meek and silent spirit, which is precious before God. (Women should lead the «right» life).
5 So, once upon a time, holy wives who trusted in God adorned themselves by obeying their husbands. (Women should lead the «right» life).
6 So Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him master. You are her children if you do good and are not embarrassed by any fear. (References to the Old Testament history).
7 Likewise, husbands, treat your wives wisely, as with the weakest vessel, honoring them as co-heirs of a life of grace, so that you will not be hindered in your prayers. (Setting the moral and ethical norms of the new religion).
8 Finally, be all of one mind, compassionate, brotherly, merciful, friendly, humble-minded; (Setting the moral and ethical norms of the new religion).
9 Do not repay evil for evil, or abuse for abuse; on the contrary, bless, knowing that you are called to inherit the blessing. (Setting the moral and ethical norms of the new religion).

16 Have a good conscience, so that those who reproach your good life in Christ may be put to shame by what they slander you as villains. (Setting the moral and ethical norms of the new religion).
17 For, if it pleases the will of God, it is better to suffer for good deeds than for evil; (The establishment of moral and ethical norms of the new religion).
18 Because Christ, too, in order to bring us to God, once suffered for our sins, the righteous for the unrighteous, being put to death according to the flesh, but quickened by the spirit, (Christ suffered in atonement for the sins of Adam and Eve, as well as all mankind, «being put to death according to the flesh, but quickened by the spirit»).
19 To whom he came down and preached to the spirits in prison (Jesus Christ acted, from a religious point of view, on the instructions of his god-father Yahweh, who allegedly sent him to the «sinful» earth so that Jesus would redeem the sins of all people with his martyrdom).
20 Once disobedient to God’s long-suffering that awaited them, in the days of Noah, during the construction of the ark, in which a few, that is, eight souls, were saved from the water. (References to the Old Testament history. It is claimed that 8 souls were saved in Noah’s Ark).
21 In the same way, baptism similar to this image, not washing of carnal uncleanness, but a promise to God of a good conscience, saves us today by the resurrection of Jesus Christ, (Mention of baptism, the resurrection of Jesus Christ).
22 Who, having ascended into heaven, dwells at the right hand of God, and to whom the Angels and Powers and Powers have submitted. (After the resurrection, Jesus Christ supposedly sits on the right (slav.) – on the right hand, side; on the right, to the right, «abides at the right hand of God and to Whom the Angels and Powers and Powers have submitted»).
