1:2 MyCount brethren, count it all joy, my brethren, when ye fall into diversmanifold temptations;
1:3 Knowing this, that the tryingproof of your faith worketh patience.
1:4 ButAnd let patience have herits perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wantinglacking in nothing.
1:5 IfBut if any of you lacklacketh wisdom, let him ask of God, thatwho giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.
1:6 But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering.doubting: Forfor he that waverethdoubteth is like athe wavesurge of the sea driven withby the wind and tossed.
1:7 For let not that man think that he shall receive anyanything thing of the Lord.;
1:8 Aa doubledoubleminded minded man, is unstable in all his ways.
1:9 LetBut let the brother of low degree rejoiceglory in thathis hehigh is exaltedestate:
1:10 Butand the rich, in that he is made low: because as the flower of the grass he shall pass away.
1:11 For the sun isariseth no sooner risen with athe burningscorching heatwind, butand 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 waysgoings.
1:12 Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he ishath triedbeen approved, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him.
1:13 Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neitherand he himself tempteth heno any man:
1:14 Butbut everyeach man is tempted, when he is drawn away ofby his own lust, and enticed.
1:15 Then whenthe lust, when it hath conceived, itbeareth bringeth forth sin: and the sin, when it is finishedfullgrown, bringeth forth death.
1:16 DoBe not errdeceived, my beloved brethren.
1:17 Every good gift and every perfect giftboon is from above, andcoming cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom iscan be no variablenessvariation, neither shadow ofthat is cast by turning.
1:18 Of his own will begat he brought us withforth by the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures.
1:19 WhereforeYe know this, my beloved brethren,. But let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath:
1:20 Forfor the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God.
1:21 Wherefore layputting apartaway all filthiness and superfluityoverflowing of naughtinesswickedness, and receive with meekness the engraftedimplanted word, which is able to save your souls.
1:22 But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceivingdeluding your own selves.
1:23 For if any beone is a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glassmirror:
1:24 Forfor he beholdeth himself, and goeth his wayaway, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was.
1:25 But whosohe that looketh into the perfect law, the law of liberty, and so continueth therein, he being not a forgetfulhearer hearerthat forgetteth, but a doer ofthat the workworketh, this man shall be blessed in his deeddoing.
1:26 If any man amongthinketh youhimself seem to be religious, andwhile he bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this mans religion is vain.
1:27 Pure religion and undefiled before our God and the Father is this, Toto visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.
2:1 My brethren, havehold not the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory, with respect of persons.
2:2 For if there come untointo your assemblysynagogue a man with a gold ring, in goodlyfine apparelclothing, and there come in also a poor man in vile raimentclothing;
2:3 Andand ye have respectregard to him that weareth the gayfine clothing, and say unto him, Sit thou here in a good place; and ye say to the poor man, Stand thou there, or sit here under my footstool:;
2:4 Areare ye not thendivided partial in yourselvesyour own mind, and are become judges ofwith evil thoughts?
2:5 Hearken, my beloved brethren,; Hathdid not God chosenchoose thethem that are poor ofas thisto the world to be rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which he hath promised to them that love him?
2:6 But ye have despiseddishonoured the poor man. Do not the rich men oppress you, and drawthemselves drag you before the judgmentjudgement seats?
2:7 Do not they blaspheme thatthe worthyhonourable name by the which ye are called?
2:8 IfHowbeit if ye fulfilfulfill the royal law, according to the scripture, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself, ye do well:
2:9 Butbut if ye have respect toof persons, ye commit sin, andbeing areconvicted convincedby of the law as transgressors.
2:10 For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offendstumble in one point, he is become guilty of all.
2:11 For he that said, Do not commit adultery, said also, Do not kill. Now if thou dost not commit no adultery, yetbut if thou killkillest, thou art become a transgressor of the law.
2:12 So speak ye, and so do, as theymen that shallare to be judged by thea law of liberty.
2:13 For hejudgement shallis have judgment without mercy, to him that hath shewed no mercy;: and mercy rejoicethglorieth against judgmentjudgement.
2:14 What doth it profit, my brethren, thoughif a man say he hath faith, andbut have not works? can that faith save him?
2:15 If a brother or sister be naked, and destitutein lack of daily food,
2:16 Andand one of you say unto them, DepartGo in peace, be ye warmed and filled; notwithstandingand yet ye give them not thosethe things which are needful to the body; what doth it profit?
2:17 Even so faith, if it hathhave not works, is dead, beingin aloneitself.
2:18 Yea, a man maywill say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith withoutapart from thy works, and I by my works will shew thee my faith by my works.
2:19 Thou believest that thereGod is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and trembleshudder.
2:20 But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith withoutapart from works is deadbarren?
2:21 Was not Abraham our father justified by works, whenin that he had offered up Isaac his son upon the altar?
2:22 SeestThou thouseest howthat faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect?;
2:23 Andand the scripture was fulfilled which saith, And Abraham believed God, and it was imputedreckoned unto him for righteousness:; and he was called the Friendfriend of God.
2:24 Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not only by faith only.
2:25 LikewiseAnd alsoin like manner was not also Rahab the harlot justified by works, whenin that she had received the messengers, and had sent them out another way?

3:6 And the tongue is a fire,: athe world of iniquity: soamong our members is the tongue among our members, thatwhich it defileth the whole body, and setteth on fire the coursewheel of nature;, and it is set on fire ofby hell.
3:7 For every kind of beasts, and of birds, and of serpents,creeping things and of things in the sea, is tamed, and hath been tamed ofby mankind:
3:8 Butbut the tongue can no man tame; it is ana unrulyrestless evil, it is full of deadly poison.
