James,
a bond-servant
of God
and of the Lord
Jesus
Christ,
To the twelve
tribes
who
are dispersed
abroad: Greetings.
2
Consider
it all
joy,
my brethren,
when
you encounter
various
trials,
3
knowing
that the testing
of your faith
produces
endurance.
4
And let endurance
have
its perfect
result,
so
that you may be perfect
and complete,
lacking
in nothing.
5
But if
any
of you lacks
wisdom,
let him ask
of God,
who gives
to all
generously
and without
reproach,
and it will be given
to him.
6
But he must ask
in faith
without any
doubting,
for the one who doubts
is like
the surf
of the sea,
driven
and tossed by the wind.
7
For that man
ought not to expect
that he will receive
anything
from the Lord,
8
being a double-minded
man,
unstable
in all
his ways.
9
But the brother
of humble
circumstances is to glory
in his high position;
10
and the rich man
is to glory in his humiliation,
because
like
flowering
grass
he will pass away.
11
For the sun
rises
with a scorching wind
and withers
the grass;
and its flower
falls off
and the beauty
of its appearance
is destroyed;
so
too
the rich man
in the midst of his pursuits
will fade away.
12
Blessed
is a man
who
perseveres
under trial;
for once he has been
approved,
he will receive
the crown
of life
which
the Lord has promised
to those
who
love
Him.
13
Let no one
say
when he is tempted,
"I am being tempted
by God";
for God
cannot be tempted
by evil,
and He Himself
does not tempt
anyone.
14
But each one
is tempted
when he is carried away
and enticed
by his own
lust.
15
Then
when lust
has conceived,
it gives birth
to sin;
and when sin
is accomplished,
it brings forth
death.
16
Do not be deceived,
my beloved
brethren.
17
Every
good
thing given
and every
perfect
gift
is from above,
coming down
from the Father
of lights,
with whom
there
is no
variation
or
shifting
shadow.
18
In the exercise of His will
He brought us forth
by the word
of truth,
so
that we would be a kind
of first fruits
among His creatures.
19
This you know,
my beloved
brethren.
But everyone
must be quick
to hear,
slow
to speak
and
slow
to anger;
20
for the anger
of man
does not achieve
the righteousness
of God.
21
Therefore,
putting aside
all
filthiness
and
all
that remains
of wickedness,
in humility
receive
the word
implanted,
which is able
to save
your souls.
22
But prove
yourselves doers
of the word,
and not merely
hearers
who delude
themselves.
23
For if
anyone
is a hearer
of the word
and not a doer,
he is like
a man
who looks
at his natural
face
in a mirror;
24
for once he has looked
at himself
and gone away,
he has immediately
forgotten
what kind of person
he was.
25
But one who looks intently
at the perfect
law,
the law of liberty,
and abides
by it, not having become
a forgetful
hearer
but an effectual
doer,
this man
will be blessed
in what he does.
26
If
anyone
thinks
himself to be religious,
and yet does not bridle
his tongue
but deceives
his own heart,
this man's
religion
is worthless.
27
Pure
and undefiled
religion
in the sight
of our God
and Father
is this:
to visit
orphans
and widows
in their distress,
and to keep
oneself
unstained
by the world.
