ISA-11:9 ...for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the LORD,
 as the waters cover the sea.

Copyright (c) 1985-2007

 

 

01:01 James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to


  • the twelve tribes which are scattered abroad, greeting.
  • 01:02 My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers
  • temptations;
  • 01:03 Knowing [this], that the trying of your faith worketh
  • patience.
  • 01:04 But let patience have [her] perfect work, that ye may be
  • perfect and entire, wanting nothing.
  • 01:05 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.
  • 01:06 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.
  • 01:07 For let not that man think that he shall receive any
  • thing of the Lord.
  • 01:08 A double minded man [is] unstable in all his ways.
  • 01:09 Let the brother of low degree rejoice in that he is
  • exalted:
  • 01:10 But the rich, in that he is made low: because as the
  • flower of the grass he shall pass away.
  • 01:11 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.
  • 01:12 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.
  • 01:13 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:
  • 01:14 But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his
  • own lust, and enticed.
  • 01:15 Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and
  • sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.
  • 01:16 Do not err, my beloved brethren.
  • 01:17 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.
  • 01:18 Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth, that
  • we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures.
  • 01:19 Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to
  • hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath:
  • 01:20 For the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God.
  • 01:21 Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of
  • naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which
  • is able to save your souls.
  • 01:22 But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only,
  • deceiving your own selves.
  • 01:23 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:
  • 01:24 For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and
  • straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was.
  • 01:25 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.
  • 01:26 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.
  • 01:27 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.
  • 02:01 My brethren, have not the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ,
  • [the Lord] of glory, with respect of persons.
  • 02:02 For if there come unto your assembly a man with a gold
  • ring, in goodly apparel, and there come in also a poor man in
  • vile raiment;
  • 02:03 And ye have respect to him that weareth the gay clothing,
  • and say unto him, Sit thou here in a good place; and say to the
  • poor, Stand thou there, or sit here under my footstool:
  • 02:04 Are ye not then partial in yourselves, and are become
  • judges of evil thoughts?
  • 02:05 Hearken, my beloved brethren, Hath not God chosen the
  • poor of this world rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which
  • he hath promised to them that love him?
  • 02:06 But ye have despised the poor. Do not rich men oppress
  • you, and draw you before the judgment seats?
  • 02:07 Do not they blaspheme that worthy name by the which ye
  • are called?
  • 02:08 If ye fulfil the royal law according to the scripture,
  • Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself, ye do well:
  • 02:09 But if ye have respect to persons, ye commit sin, and are
  • convinced of the law as transgressors.
  • 02:10 For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in
  • one [point], he is guilty of all.
  • 02:11 For he that said, Do not commit adultery, said also, Do
  • not kill. Now if thou commit no adultery, yet if thou kill, thou
  • art become a transgressor of the law.
  • 02:12 So speak ye, and so do, as they that shall be judged by
  • the law of liberty.
  • 02:13 For he shall have judgment without mercy, that hath
  • showed no mercy; and mercy rejoiceth against judgment.
  • 02:14 What [doth it] profit, my brethren, though a man say he
  • hath faith, and have not works? can faith save him?
  • 02:15 If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily
  • food,
  • 02:16 And one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be [ye]
  • warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye give them not those things
  • which are needful to the body; what [doth it] profit?
  • 02:17 Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone.
  • 02:18 Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works:
  • show me thy faith without thy works, and I will show thee my
  • faith by my works.
  • 02:19 Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well:
  • the devils also believe, and tremble.
  • 02:20 But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works
  • is dead?
  • 02:21 Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he
  • had offered Isaac his son upon the altar?
  • 02:22 Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works
  • was faith made perfect?
  • 02:23 And the scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham
  • believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and
  • he was called the Friend of God.
  • 02:24 Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not
  • by faith only.
  • 02:25 Likewise also was not Rahab the harlot justified by works,
  • when she had received the messengers, and had sent [them] out
  • another way?
  • 02:26 For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith
  • without works is dead also.
  • 03:01 My brethren, be not many masters, knowing that we shall
  • receive the greater condemnation.
  • 03:02 For in many things we offend all. If any man offend not
  • in word, the same [is] a perfect man, [and] able also to bridle
  • the whole body.
  • 03:03 Behold, we put bits in the horses' mouths, that they may
  • obey us; and we turn about their whole body.
  • 03:04 Behold also the ships, which though [they be] so great,
  • and [are] driven of fierce winds, yet are they turned about with
  • a very small helm, whithersoever the governor listeth.
  • 03:05 Even so the tongue is a little member, and boasteth great
  • things. Behold, how great a matter a little fire kindleth!
  • 03:06 And the tongue [is] a fire, a world of iniquity: so is
  • the tongue among our members, that it defileth the whole body,
  • and setteth on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire
  • of hell.
  • 03:07 For every kind of beasts, and of birds, and of serpents,
  • and of things in the sea, is tamed, and hath been tamed of
  • mankind:
  • 03:08 But the tongue can no man tame; [it is] an unruly evil,
  • full of deadly poison.
  • 03:09 Therewith bless we God, even the Father; and therewith
  • curse we men, which are made after the similitude of God.
  • 03:10 Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing. My
  • brethren, these things ought not so to be.
  • 03:11 Doth a fountain send forth at the same place sweet
  • [water] and bitter?
  • 03:12 Can the fig tree, my brethren, bear olive berries? either
  • a vine, figs? so [can] no fountain both yield salt water and
  • fresh.
  • 03:13 Who [is] a wise man and endued with knowledge among you?
  • let him show out of a good conversation his works with meekness
  • of wisdom.
  • 03:14 But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts,
  • glory not, and lie not against the truth.
  • 03:15 This wisdom descendeth not from above, but [is] earthly,
  • sensual, devilish.
  • 03:16 For where envying and strife [is], there [is] confusion
  • and every evil work.
  • 03:17 But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then
  • peaceable, gentle, [and] easy to be entreated, full of mercy and
  • good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.
  • 03:18 And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them
  • that make peace.
  • 04:01 From whence [come] wars and fightings among you? [come
  • they] not hence, [even] of your lusts that war in your members?
  • 04:02 Ye lust, and have not: ye kill, and desire to have, and
  • cannot obtain: ye fight and war, yet ye have not, because ye ask
  • not.
  • 04:03 Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye
  • may consume [it] upon your lusts.
  • 04:04 Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the
  • friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore
  • will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.
  • 04:05 Do ye think that the scripture saith in vain, The spirit
  • that dwelleth in us lusteth to envy?
  • 04:06 But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God
  • resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble.
  • 04:07 Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and
  • he will flee from you.
  • 04:08 Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse
  • [your] hands, [ye] sinners; and purify [your] hearts, [ye]
  • double minded.
  • 04:09 Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be
  • turned to mourning, and [your] joy to heaviness.
  • 04:10 Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall
  • lift you up.
  • 04:11 Speak not evil one of another, brethren. He that speaketh
  • evil of [his] brother, and judgeth his brother, speaketh evil of
  • the law, and judgeth the law: but if thou judge the law, thou
  • art not a doer of the law, but a judge.
  • 04:12 There is one lawgiver, who is able to save and to destroy:
  • who art thou that judgest another?
  • 04:13 Go to now, ye that say, To day or to morrow we will go
  • into such a city, and continue there a year, and buy and sell,
  • and get gain:
  • 04:14 Whereas ye know not what [shall be] on the morrow. For
  • what [is] your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a
  • little time, and then vanisheth away.
  • 04:15 For that ye [ought] to say, If the Lord will, we shall
  • live, and do this, or that.
  • 04:16 But now ye rejoice in your boastings: all such rejoicing
  • is evil.
  • 04:17 Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth [it]
  • not, to him it is sin.
  • 05:01 Go to now, [ye] rich men, weep and howl for your miseries
  • that shall come upon [you].
  • 05:02 Your riches are corrupted, and your garments are
  • motheaten.
  • 05:03 Your gold and silver is cankered; and the rust of them
  • shall be a witness against you, and shall eat your flesh as it
  • were fire. Ye have heaped treasure together for the last days.
  • 05:04 Behold, the hire of the labourers who have reaped down
  • your fields, which is of you kept back by fraud, crieth: and the
  • cries of them which have reaped are entered into the ears of the
  • Lord of sabaoth.
  • 05:05 Ye have lived in pleasure on the earth, and been wanton;
  • ye have nourished your hearts, as in a day of slaughter.
  • 05:06 Ye have condemned [and] killed the just; [and] he doth
  • not resist you.
  • 05:07 Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the coming of the
  • Lord. Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of
  • the earth, and hath long patience for it, until he receive the
  • early and latter rain.
  • 05:08 Be ye also patient; stablish your hearts: for the coming
  • of the Lord draweth nigh.
  • 05:09 Grudge not one against another, brethren, lest ye be
  • condemned: behold, the judge standeth before the door.
  • 05:10 Take, my brethren, the prophets, who have spoken in the
  • name of the Lord, for an example of suffering affliction, and of
  • patience.
  • 05:11 Behold, we count them happy which endure. Ye have heard
  • of the patience of Job, and have seen the end of the Lord; that
  • the Lord is very pitiful, and of tender mercy.
  • 05:12 But above all things, my brethren, swear not, neither by
  • heaven, neither by the earth, neither by any other oath: but let
  • your yea be yea; and [your] nay, nay; lest ye fall into
  • condemnation.
  • 05:13 Is any among you afflicted? let him pray. Is any merry?
  • let him sing psalms.
  • 05:14 Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the
  • church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in
  • the name of the Lord:
  • 05:15 And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord
  • shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be
  • forgiven him.
  • 05:16 Confess [your] faults one to another, and pray one for
  • another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of
  • a righteous man availeth much.
  • 05:17 Elias was a man subject to like passions as we are, and
  • he prayed earnestly that it might not rain: and it rained not on
  • the earth by the space of three years and six months.
  • 05:18 And he prayed again, and the heaven gave rain, and the
  • earth brought forth her fruit.
  • 05:19 Brethren, if any of you do err from the truth, and one
  • convert him;
  • 05:20 Let him know, that he which converteth the sinner from
  • the error of his way shall save a soul from death, and shall
  • hide a multitude of sins.
