Young's Literal Translation
James, a
servant
of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which
are scattered
abroad,
greeting.
James, of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ a
servant
, to the Twelve Tribes who
are in
the
dispersion:
Hail!
My brethren, count
it
all
joy
when ye fall into divers
temptations;
All
joy
count
`it',
my brethren, when ye may
fall into temptations manifold
;
Knowing this,
that the trying
of your faith worketh
patience.
knowing that the proof
of your faith doth
work
endurance,
But
let patience
have her
perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire ,
wanting
nothing .
and
let the
endurance
have a
perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire --
in
nothing lacking;
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 .
and
if any of you do
lack wisdom, let him ask from
God, who
is
giving
to all liberally, and not reproaching,
and it shall 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 .
and
let him ask in faith, nothing doubting,
for he who
is doubting
hath
been
like a wave of the sea ,
driven by
wind and tossed ,
For let not that man think
that he shall receive any
thing
of
the Lord .
for let not that man suppose
that he shall receive anything
from
the Lord --
A double
minded
man is unstable in all his ways.
a two-souled
man `
is '
unstable in all his ways.
Let the brother of
low degree
rejoice in that
he
is
exalted:
And
let the brother who
is
low rejoice in his
exaltation,
But
the rich ,
in that
he
is
made
low :
because as the
flower of the
grass he shall pass away .
and
the rich in his
becoming
low ,
because as a
flower of grass he shall 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 did
rise
with the
burning heat, and
did
wither
the grass, and the flower of
it
fell
, and the grace of its
appearance
did
perish,
so also the rich in his way
shall
fade
away!
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.
Happy
the man who
doth
endure
temptation, because,
becoming
approved,
he shall receive the crown of the
life, which the Lord did
promise
to those
loving
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 one
say, being
tempted
--
`From
God
I am tempted ,'
for God is
not
tempted of
evil, and
Himself
doth
tempt
no
one,
But
every
man
is tempted, when
he
is
drawn
away
of
his own lust,
and enticed .
and
each
one
is tempted, by
his own desires
being
led
away
and enticed ,
Then
when
lust
hath
conceived, it
bringeth
forth
sin :
and sin ,
when
it
is
finished
, bringeth
forth death.
afterward
the
desire
having
conceived, doth
give
birth
to
sin ,
and the
sin having
been
perfected
, doth
bring
forth death.
Do
not err
, my beloved
brethren .
Be
not led
astray
, my brethren beloved;
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 giving,
and every perfect gift is from above, coming
down from the Father of the
lights, with whom is no variation
, or
shadow of turning ;
Of
his
own
will
begat
he us with the
word of truth, that
we
should
be
a kind
of
firstfruits
of his creatures.
having
counselled,
He did
beget
us with a
word of truth, for
our
being
a certain
first-fruit
of His creatures.
Wherefore
, my beloved
brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath:
So
then
, my brethren beloved
, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger,
For the wrath of man worketh
not
the righteousness of God .
for the wrath of a
man the righteousness of God doth
not
work;
Wherefore lay
apart
all filthiness and superfluity
of naughtiness
, and
receive
with
meekness the engrafted word, which
is able to save your souls .
wherefore having
put
aside
all filthiness and superabundance
of evil
, in
meekness be
receiving
the engrafted word, that
is able to save your souls ;
But
be
ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your
own
selves.
and
become
ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves,
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:
because,
if any one
is
a hearer of the word and not a doer, this
one
hath
been
like to
a man viewing
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 did
view
himself, and hath
gone
away
, and immediately
he
did
forget
of what
kind
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
.
and
he
who
did
look
into the perfect law --
that
of liberty, and did
continue
there
, this
one
--
not a forgetful hearer becoming
, but a doer of work --
this one
shall be happy
in his doing
.
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 any one
doth
think
to be religious among
you
, not bridling
his tongue, but deceiving
his heart, of
this one
vain `is'
the
religion;
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.
religion pure
and undefiled with
the
God and Father is this, to look
after
orphans
and widows in their tribulation
--
unspotted
to keep himself from the world.
