YLT
Young's Literal Translation
KJV
King James Version
James, of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ a
servant
, to the Twelve Tribes who
are in
the
dispersion:
Hail!
James, a
servant
of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which
are scattered
abroad,
greeting.
All
joy
count
`it',
my brethren, when ye may
fall into temptations manifold
;
My brethren, count
it
all
joy
when ye fall into divers
temptations;
knowing that the proof
of your faith doth
work
endurance,
Knowing this,
that the trying
of your faith worketh
patience.
and
let the
endurance
have a
perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire --
in
nothing lacking;
But
let patience
have her
perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire ,
wanting
nothing .
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 ;
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
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 ,
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 .
for let not that man suppose
that he shall receive anything
from
the Lord --
For let not that man think
that he shall receive any
thing
of
the Lord .
a two-souled
man `
is '
unstable in all his ways.
A double
minded
man is unstable in all his ways.
And
let the brother who
is
low rejoice in his
exaltation,
Let the brother of
low degree
rejoice in that
he
is
exalted:
and
the rich in his
becoming
low ,
because as a
flower of grass he shall pass away ;
But
the rich ,
in that
he
is
made
low :
because as the
flower of the
grass he shall pass away .
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 !
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.
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.
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.
Let no one
say ,
being
tempted --
`From
God
I am tempted ,'
for God is
not
tempted of
evil, and
Himself
doth
tempt
no
one,
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:
and
each
one
is tempted, by
his own desires
being
led
away
and enticed ,
But
every
man
is tempted, when
he
is
drawn
away
of
his own lust,
and enticed .
afterward
the
desire
having
conceived, doth
give
birth
to
sin ,
and the
sin having
been
perfected
, doth
bring
forth death.
Then
when
lust
hath
conceived, it
bringeth
forth
sin :
and sin, when
it
is
finished,
bringeth
forth death.
Be
not led
astray
, my brethren
beloved ;
Do
not err
, my beloved brethren.
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 ;
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 .
having
counselled,
He did
beget
us with a
word of truth, for
our
being
a certain
first-fruit
of His creatures.
Of
his
own
will
begat
he us with the
word of truth, that
we
should
be
a kind
of firstfruits
of
his creatures.
So
then
, my brethren
beloved, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger,
Wherefore
, my beloved brethren
, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath:
for the wrath of a
man the righteousness of God doth
not
work;
For the wrath of man worketh
not
the righteousness of God .
wherefore having
put
aside
all filthiness and superabundance
of evil
, in
meekness be
receiving
the engrafted word, that
is able to save your souls ;
Wherefore lay
apart
all filthiness and superfluity
of naughtiness
, and
receive
with
meekness the engrafted word, which
is able to save your souls .
and
become
ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves,
But
be
ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your
own
selves.
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
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 he did
view
himself, and hath
gone
away
, and immediately
he
did
forget
of
what kind
he was ;
For he beholdeth
himself, and goeth
his
way
, and straightway
forgetteth
what manner
of
man
he was .
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
.
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
.
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 ;
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.
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.
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.
