JAS-1:1 James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ,
to the twelve
tribes which are scattered abroad, greeting.
JAS-1:2 My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers
temptations;
JAS-1:3 Knowing [this], that the trying of your faith worketh
patience.
JAS-1:4 But let patience have [her] perfect work, that ye may
be perfect and
entire, wanting nothing.
JAS-1:5 If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that
giveth to all
[men] liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.
JAS-1:6 But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that
wavereth is
like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed.
JAS-1:7 For let not that man think that he shall receive any
thing of the
Lord.
JAS-1:8 A double minded man [is] unstable in all his ways.
JAS-1:9 Let the brother of low degree rejoice in that he is
exalted:
JAS-1:10 But the rich, in that he is made low: because as the
flower of the
grass he shall pass away.
JAS-1:11 For the sun is no sooner risen with a burning heat,
but it withereth
the grass, and the flower thereof falleth, and the grace of the
fashion of it
perisheth: so also shall the rich man fade away in his ways.
JAS-1:12 Blessed [is] the man that endureth temptation: for
when he is tried,
he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised
to them that
love him.
JAS-1:13 Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God:
for God
cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man:
JAS-1:14 But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his
own lust, and
enticed.
JAS-1:15 Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin:
and sin, when
it is finished, bringeth forth death.
JAS-1:16 Do not err, my beloved brethren.
JAS-1:17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above,
and cometh down
from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither
shadow of
turning.
JAS-1:18 Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth,
that we should be
a kind of firstfruits of his creatures.
JAS-1:19 Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift
to hear, slow
to speak, slow to wrath:
JAS-1:20 For the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of
God.
JAS-1:21 Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of
naughtiness,
and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to
save your souls.
JAS-1:22 But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only,
deceiving your own
selves.
JAS-1:23 For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he
is like unto a
man beholding his natural face in a glass:
JAS-1:24 For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and
straightway
forgetteth what manner of man he was.
JAS-1:25 But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and
continueth
[therein], he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the
work, this man
shall be blessed in his deed.
JAS-1:26 If any man among you seem to be religious, and
bridleth not his
tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man's religion [is]
vain.
JAS-1:27 Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father
is this, To
visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, [and] to
keep himself
unspotted from the world.
