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.
