JAM 1:1
James 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
James 1:2
|
|
My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall
into divers temptations; |
| |
|
|
|
JAM 1:3
James 1:3
|
|
Knowing this, that the trying of your faith
worketh patience. |
| |
|
|
|
JAM 1:4
James 1:4
|
|
But let patience have her perfect work, that
ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing. |
| |
|
|
|
JAM 1:5
James 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
James 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
James 1:7
|
|
For let not that man think that he shall receive
any thing of the Lord. |
|
|
|
|
JAM 1:8
James 1:8
|
|
A double minded man is unstable in all his ways. |
|
|
|
|
JAM 1:9
James 1:9
|
|
Let the brother of low degree rejoice in that
he is exalted: |
|
|
|
|
JAM 1:10
James 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
James 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
James 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
James 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
James 1:14
|
|
But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away
of his own lust, and enticed. |
|
|
|
|
JAM 1:15
James 1:15
|
|
Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth
sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death. |
|
|
|
|
JAM 1:16
James 1:16
|
|
Do not err, my beloved brethren. |
|
|
|
|
JAM 1:17
James 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
James 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
James 1:19
|
|
Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man
be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath: |
| |
|
|
|
JAM 1:20
James 1:20
|
|
For the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness
of God. |
| |
|
|
|
JAM 1:21
James 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
James 1:22
|
|
But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers
only, deceiving your own selves. |
|
|
|
|
|
JAM 1:23
James 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
James 1:24
|
|
For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way,
and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was. |
|
|
|
|
|
JAM 1:25
James 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
James 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
James 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. |
