1:1 | James <2385>, a servant <1401> of God <2316> and <2532> of the Lord <2962> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>, to the twelve <1427> tribes <5443> which <1722> are scattered abroad <1290>, greeting <5463> (5721). |
1:2 | My <3450> brethren <80>, count it <2233> (5662) all <3956> joy <5479> when <3752> ye fall <4045> (5632) into divers <4164> temptations <3986>; {temptation: or, trials} |
1:3 | Knowing <1097> (5723) [this], that <3754> the trying <1383> of your <5216> faith <4102> worketh <2716> (5736) patience <5281>. |
1:4 | But <1161> let <2192> (0) patience <5281> have <2192> (5720) [her] perfect <5046> work <2041>, that <2443> ye may be <5600> (5753) perfect <5046> and <2532> entire <3648>, wanting <3007> (5746) nothing <1722> <3367>. |
1:5 | <1161> If any <1536> of you <5216> lack <3007> (5743) wisdom <4678>, let him ask <154> (5720) of <3844> God <2316>, that giveth <1325> (5723) to all <3956> [men] liberally <574>, and <2532> upbraideth <3679> (5723) not <3361>; and <2532> it shall be given <1325> (5701) him <846>. |
1:6 | But <1161> let him ask <154> (5720) in <1722> faith <4102>, nothing <3367> wavering <1252> (5734). For <1063> he that wavereth <1252> (5734) is like <1503> (5758) a wave <2830> of the sea <2281> driven with the wind <416> (5746) and <2532> tossed <4494> (5746). |
1:7 | For <1063> let <3633> (0) not <3361> that <1565> man <444> think <3633> (5737) that <3754> he shall receive <2983> (5695) any thing <5100> of <3844> the Lord <2962>. |
1:8 | A double minded <1374> man <435> [is] unstable <182> in <1722> all <3956> his <846> ways <3598>. |
1:9 | <1161> Let <2744> (0) the brother <80> of low degree <5011> rejoice <2744> (5737) in <1722> that he <846> is exalted <5311>: {rejoice: or, glory} |
1:10 | But <1161> the rich <4145>, in <1722> that he <846> is made low <5014>: because <3754> as <5613> the flower <438> of the grass <5528> he shall pass away <3928> (5695). |
1:11 | For <1063> the sun <2246> is no sooner risen <393> (5656) with <4862> a burning heat <2742>, but <2532> it withereth <3583> (5656) the grass <5528>, and <2532> the flower <438> thereof <846> falleth <1601> (5627), and <2532> the grace <2143> of the fashion <4383> of it <846> perisheth <622> (5639): so <3779> also <2532> shall <3133> (0) the rich man <4145> fade away <3133> (5701) in <1722> his <846> ways <4197>. |
1:12 | Blessed <3107> [is] the man <435> that <3739> endureth <5278> (5719) temptation <3986>: for <3754> when he is tried <1384> <1096> (5637), he shall receive <2983> (5695) the crown <4735> of life <2222>, which <3739> the Lord <2962> hath promised <1861> (5662) to them that love <25> (5723) him <846>. |
1:13 | Let <3004> (0) no man <3367> say <3004> (5720) when he is tempted <3985> (5746), <3754> I am tempted <3985> (5743) of <575> God <2316>: for <1063> God <2316> cannot be tempted <551> <2076> (5748) with evil <2556>, neither <1161> tempteth <3985> (0) he <846> <3985> (5719) any man <3762>: {evil: or, evils} |
1:14 | But <1161> every man <1538> is tempted <3985> (5743), when he is drawn away <1828> (5746) of <5259> his own <2398> lust <1939>, and <2532> enticed <1185> (5746). |
1:15 | Then <1534> when lust <1939> hath conceived <4815> (5631), it bringeth forth <5088> (5719) sin <266>: and <1161> sin <266>, when it is finished <658> (5685), bringeth forth <616> (5719) death <2288>. |
1:16 | Do <4105> (0) not <3361> err <4105> (5744), my <3450> beloved <27> brethren <80>. |
1:17 | Every <3956> good <18> gift <1394> and <2532> every <3956> perfect <5046> gift <1434> is <2076> (5748) from above <509>, and cometh down <2597> (5723) from <575> the Father <3962> of lights <5457>, with <3844> whom <3739> is <1762> (5748) no <3756> variableness <3883>, neither <2228> shadow <644> of turning <5157>. |
1:18 | Of his own will <1014> (5679) begat he <616> (5656) us <2248> with the word <3056> of truth <225>, that <1519> we <2248> should be <1511> (5750) a kind <5100> of firstfruits <536> of his <846> creatures <2938>. |
1:19 | Wherefore <5620>, my <3450> beloved <27> brethren <80>, let <2077> (0) every <3956> man <444> be <2077> (5749) swift <5036> to <1519> hear <191> (5658), slow <1021> to <1519> speak <2980> (5658), slow <1021> to <1519> wrath <3709>: |
1:20 | For <1063> the wrath <3709> of man <435> worketh <2716> (5736) not <3756> the righteousness <1343> of God <2316>. |
1:21 | Wherefore <1352> lay apart <659> (5642) all <3956> filthiness <4507> and <2532> superfluity <4050> of naughtiness <2549>, and receive <1209> (5663) with <1722> meekness <4240> the engrafted <1721> word <3056>, which <3588> is able <1410> (5740) to save <4982> (5658) your <5216> souls <5590>. |
1:22 | But <1161> be ye <1096> (5737) doers <4163> of the word <3056>, and <2532> not <3361> hearers <202> only <3440>, deceiving <3884> (5740) your own selves <1438>. |
1:23 | For <3754> if any <1536> be <2076> (5748) a hearer <202> of the word <3056>, and <2532> not <3756> a doer <4163>, he <3778> is like <1503> (5758) unto a man <435> beholding <2657> (5723) his <846> natural <1078> face <4383> in <1722> a glass <2072>: |
1:24 | For <1063> he beholdeth <2657> (5656) himself <1438>, and <2532> goeth his way <565> (5754), and <2532> straightway <2112> forgetteth <1950> (5633) what manner of man <3697> he was <2258> (5713). |
1:25 | But <1161> whoso looketh <3879> (5660) into <1519> the perfect <5046> law <3551> of liberty <1657>, and <2532> continueth <3887> (5660) [therein], he <3778> being <1096> (5637) not <3756> a forgetful <1953> hearer <202>, but <235> a doer <4163> of the work <2041>, this man <3778> shall be <2071> (5704) blessed <3107> in <1722> his <846> deed <4162>. {deed: or, doing} |
1:26 | If any man <1536> among <1722> you <5213> seem <1380> (5719) to be <1511> (5750) religious <2357>, and bridleth <5468> (5723) not <3361> his <846> tongue <1100>, but <235> deceiveth <538> (5723) his own <846> heart <2588>, this man's <5127> religion <2356> [is] vain <3152>. |
1:27 | Pure <2513> religion <2356> and <2532> undefiled <283> before <3844> God <2316> and <2532> the Father <3962> is <2076> (5748) this <3778>, To visit <1980> (5738) the fatherless <3737> and <2532> widows <5503> in <1722> their <846> affliction <2347>, [and] to keep <5083> (5721) himself <1438> unspotted <784> from <575> the world <2889>. |
