James 1:1
|
|
James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus
Christ, to the twelve tribes which are of the Dispersion, greeting. |
|
|
|
|
|
James 1:2
|
|
Count it all joy, my brethren, when ye fall
into manifold temptations; |
| |
|
|
|
James 1:3
|
|
Knowing that the proving of your faith worketh
patience. |
| |
|
|
|
James 1:4
|
|
And
let patience have its perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, lacking
in nothing. |
| |
|
|
|
James 1:5
|
|
But if any of you lacketh wisdom, let him ask
of God, who giveth to all liberally and upbraideth not; and it shall be given
him. |
| |
|
|
|
James 1:6
|
|
But let him ask in faith, nothing doubting:
for he that doubteth is like the surge of the sea driven by the wind and tossed.
|
| |
|
|
|
James 1:7
|
|
For let not that man think that he shall receive
anything of the Lord; |
|
|
|
|
James 1:8
|
|
a doubleminded man, unstable in all his ways.
|
|
|
|
|
James 1:9
|
|
But let the brother of low degree glory in his
high estate: |
|
|
|
|
James 1:10
|
|
and the rich, in that he is made low: because
as the flower of the grass he shall pass away. |
|
|
|
|
James 1:11
|
|
For the sun ariseth with the scorching wind,
and 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 goings. |
|
|
|
|
James 1:12
|
|
Blessed is the man that endureth temptation;
for when he hath been approved, he shall receive the crown of life, which the
Lord promised to them that love him. |
|
|
|
|
James 1:13
|
|
Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted
of God; for God cannot be tempted with evil, and he himself tempteth no man: |
|
|
|
|
James 1:14
|
|
but each man is tempted, when he is drawn away
by his own lust, and enticed. |
|
|
|
|
James 1:15
|
|
Then the lust, when it hath conceived, beareth
sin: and the sin, when it is fullgrown, bringeth forth death. |
|
|
|
|
James 1:16
|
|
Be not deceived, my beloved brethren. |
|
|
|
|
James 1:17
|
|
Every good gift and every perfect gift is from
above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom can be no variation, neither
shadow that is cast by turning. |
|
|
|
|
James 1:18
|
|
Of his own will he brought us forth by the word
of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures. |
|
|
|
|
James 1:19
|
|
Ye know this, my beloved brethren. But let every
man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath: |
| |
|
|
|
James 1:20
|
|
for the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness
of God. |
| |
|
|
|
James 1:21
|
|
Wherefore putting away all filthiness and overflowing
of wickedness, receive with meekness the implanted word, which is able to save
your souls. |
|
|
|
|
|
James 1:22
|
|
But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers
only, deluding your own selves. |
|
|
|
|
|
James 1:23
|
|
For if any one is a hearer of the word and not
a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a mirror: |
|
|
|
|
|
James 1:24
|
|
for he beholdeth himself, and goeth away, and
straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was. |
|
|
|
|
|
James 1:25
|
|
But he that looketh into the perfect law, the
law of liberty, and so continueth, being not a hearer that forgetteth but a doer
that worketh, this man shall be blessed in his doing. |
|
|
|
|
|
James 1:26
|
|
If any man thinketh himself to be religious,
while he bridleth not his tongue but deceiveth his heart, this man's religion
is vain. |
|
|
|
|
|
James 1:27
|
|
Pure religion and undefiled before our God and
Father is this, to visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to
keep oneself unspotted from the world. |
