James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which are scattered
abroad,
greeting
.
James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which are in
the
Dispersion:
Greetings
.
My
brethren,
count it all joy when ye
fall into divers
temptations ;
Count it all joy ,
my
brothers,
when you
fall into various
temptations ,
Knowing this,
that the trying
of your faith worketh
patience
.
knowing that the testing
of your faith produces
endurance
.
But
let patience
have her
perfect work, that ye
may be perfect and entire
, wanting
nothing.
Let endurance
have its
perfect work, that you
may be perfect and complete
, lacking
in
nothing.
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.
But
if any of you lacks
wisdom, let him ask of God, who
gives
to all liberally and without
reproach
; and it will
be given to
him.
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.
But let him ask in faith, without
any
doubting,
for he who
doubts
is like a wave of the sea ,
driven by
the wind and tossed.
For let not
that man think that he shall
receive any
thing
of
the Lord.
For let that man not
think that he will
receive anything
from
the Lord.
A double minded man is
unstable in all his ways.
He
is
a double -
minded man ,
unstable in all his ways.
Let the brother of
low
degree
rejoice
in that
he
is
exalted:
But
let the brother in humble
circumstances
glory
in
his
high
position;
But
the rich, in that he is made low:
because as
the flower of
the grass he shall
pass away.
and
the rich, in that he is made humble,
because like
the flower in
the grass ,
he will
pass away.
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
.
For the sun arises
with the
scorching
wind
, and
withers
the grass, and the flower in
it
falls
, and the beauty
of its
appearance
perishes.
So also will
the rich man fade away in his pursuits
.
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.
Blessed is the man who
endures
temptation ,
for when he has
been
approved
, he will
receive the crown of life, which the Lord promised to those
who
love him.
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:
Let no man say when he is tempted, "
I am tempted by
God ,"
for God can't
be tempted by
evil, and
he himself
tempts
no
one.
But every
man
is tempted, when he is drawn away of
his own lust, and enticed.
But each
one
is tempted, when he is drawn away by
his own lust, and enticed.
Then when
lust hath
conceived
, it bringeth
forth
sin :
and sin, when it is finished
, bringeth
forth death.
Then the
lust, when
it has
conceived,
bears
sin ;
and the
sin, when it is full
grown
, brings
forth death.
Do
not
err
, my beloved brethren
.
Don't
be
deceived
, my beloved brothers
.
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.
Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming
down from the Father of lights, with whom can
be
no variation
, nor
turning shadow
.
Of his own will begat
he us with
the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits
of his creatures.
Of his own will he brought
us forth
by
the word of truth, that we should be a kind of first
fruits
of his creatures.
Wherefore
, my beloved brethren
, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath:
So
, then,
my beloved brothers
, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, and
slow to anger;
For the wrath
of man worketh
not
the righteousness of God.
for the anger
of man doesn't
produce
the righteousness of God.
Wherefore
lay
apart
all filthiness and superfluity
of naughtiness
, and
receive with meekness
the engrafted
word, which is able to save your souls.
Therefore,
putting
away
all filthiness and overflowing
of wickedness
, receive with humility
the implanted
word, which is able to save your souls.
But be ye
doers of the word, and not hearers
only, deceiving
your own selves.
But be doers of the word, and not only hearers
, deluding
your own selves.
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:
For if anyone
is
a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man beholding his natural face in a mirror;
For he beholdeth
himself, and goeth
his
way
, and straightway
forgetteth
what manner
of man he was.
for he sees
himself, and goes
away
, and immediately
forgets
what kind
of man he was.
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
.
But he
who
looks
into the perfect law ,
the
law
of freedom
, and continues
, not being
a hearer who
forgets
but a doer of the work, this man will
be blessed in what
he
does
.
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
.
If anyone
among you thinks
himself
to be religious while
he
doesn't
bridle
his tongue, but deceives
his heart, this man's religion is worthless
.
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.
Pure religion and undefiled before our
God and Father is this :
to visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself
unstained
by
the world.
