Book 59 : JAMES - Chapter 001
001:001
James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the
twelve tribes which are scattered abroad, greeting
001:002
My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers
temptations
001:003
Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience
001:004
But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect
and entire, wanting nothing
001:005
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
001:006
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
001:007
For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of
the Lord
001:008
A double minded man is unstable in all his ways
001:009
Let the brother of low degree rejoice in that he is exalted
001:010
But the rich, in that he is made low: because as the flower of
the grass he shall pass away
001:011
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
001:012
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
001:013
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
001:014
But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own
lust, and enticed
001:015
Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin,
when it is finished, bringeth forth death
001:016
Do not err, my beloved brethren
001:017
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
001:018
Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth, that we
should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures
001:019
Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to
hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath
001:020
For the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God
001:021
Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of
naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word,
which is able to save your souls
001:022
But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving
your own selves
001:023
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
001:024
For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway
forgetteth what manner of man he was
001:025
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
001:026
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
001:027
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
