JAM-1:1 James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to
the twelve tribes which are scattered abroad, greeting.
JAM-1:2 My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers
temptations;
JAM-1:3 Knowing [this], that the trying of your faith worketh
patience.
JAM-1:4 But let patience have [her] perfect work, that ye may be
perfect and entire, wanting nothing.
JAM-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.
JAM-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.
JAM-1:7 For let not that man think that he shall receive any
thing of the Lord.
JAM-1:8 A double minded man [is] unstable in all his ways.
JAM-1:9 Let the brother of low degree rejoice in that he is
exalted:
JAM-1:10 But the rich, in that he is made low: because as the
flower of the grass he shall pass away.
JAM-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.
JAM-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.
JAM-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:
JAM-1:14 But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his
own lust, and enticed.
JAM-1:15 Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin:
and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.
JAM-1:16 Do not err, my beloved brethren.
JAM-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.
JAM-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.
JAM-1:19 Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift
to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath:
JAM-1:20 For the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of
God.
JAM-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.
JAM-1:22 But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only,
deceiving your own selves.
JAM-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:
JAM-1:24 For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and
straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was.
JAM-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.
JAM-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.
JAM-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.
JAM-2:1 My brethren, have not the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ,
[the Lord] of glory, with respect of persons.
JAM-2:2 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;
JAM-2:3 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:
JAM-2:4 Are ye not then partial in yourselves, and are become
judges of evil thoughts?
JAM-2:5 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?
JAM-2:6 But ye have despised the poor. Do not rich men oppress
you, and draw you before the judgment seats?
JAM-2:7 Do not they blaspheme that worthy name by the which ye
are called?
JAM-2:8 If ye fulfil the royal law according to the scripture,
Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself, ye do well:
JAM-2:9 But if ye have respect to persons, ye commit sin, and
are convinced of the law as transgressors.
JAM-2:10 For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend
in one [point], he is guilty of all.
JAM-2:11 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.
JAM-2:12 So speak ye, and so do, as they that shall be judged by
the law of liberty.
JAM-2:13 For he shall have judgment without mercy, that hath
shewed no mercy; and mercy rejoiceth against judgment.
JAM-2:14 What [doth it] profit, my brethren, though a man say he
hath faith, and have not works? can faith save him?
JAM-2:15 If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily
food,
JAM-2:16 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?
JAM-2:17 Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being
alone.
JAM-2:18 Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works:
shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my
faith by my works.
JAM-2:19 Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well:
the devils also believe, and tremble.
JAM-2:20 But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without
works is dead?
JAM-2:21 Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he
had offered Isaac his son upon the altar?
JAM-2:22 Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by
works was faith made perfect?
JAM-2:23 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.
JAM-2:24 Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and
not by faith only.
JAM-2:25 Likewise also was not Rahab the harlot justified by
works, when she had received the messengers, and had sent [them]
out another way?
JAM-2:26 For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith
without works is dead also.
JAM-3:1 My brethren, be not many masters, knowing that we shall
