| 1:1 |
James, a bond servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, toTo the twelve tribes who are dispersed abroad,: greetingsGreetings. |
| 1:4 |
And let endurance have its perfect result, so that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing. |
| 1:5 |
But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all men generously and without reproach, and it will be given to him. |
| 1:6 |
But lethe himmust ask in faith without any doubting, for the one who doubts is like the surf of the sea, driven and tossed by the wind. |
| 1:7 |
For letthat man ought not thatto man expect that he will receive anything from the Lord, |
| 1:9 |
But let the brother of humble circumstances is to glory in his high position; |
| 1:10 |
and let the rich man is to glory in his humiliation, because like flowering grass he will pass away. |
| 1:11 |
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. |
| 1:12 |
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. |
| 1:17 |
Every good thing bestowedgiven and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation, or shifting shadow. |
| 1:18 |
In the exercise of His will He brought us forth by the word of truth, so that we mightwould be, asa itkind were,of the first fruits among His creatures. |
| 1:19 |
This you know, my beloved brethren. But let everyone must be quick to hear, slow to speak and slow to anger; |
| 1:21 |
Therefore, putting aside all filthiness and all that remains of wickedness, in humility receive the word implanted, which is able to save your souls. |
| 1:25 |
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 shallwill be blessed in what he does. |
| 1:27 |
ThisPure is 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. |
| 2:8 |
If, however, you are fulfilling the royal law, according to the Scripture, You shall love your neighbor as yourself, you are doing well. |
| 2:12 |
So speak and so act, as those who are to be judged by the law of liberty. |
| 2:14 |
What use is it, my brethren, if asomeone man says he has faith, but he has no works? Can that faith save him? |
| 2:18 |
But someone may well say, You have faith, and I have works; show me your faith without the works, and I will show you my faith by my works. |
| 2:21 |
Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he offered up Isaac his son on the altar? |
| 2:24 |
You see that a man is justified by works, and not by faith alone. |
| 2:25 |
AndIn in the same way, was not Rahab the harlot also justified by works, when she received the messengers and sent them out by another way? |
| 3:1 |
Let not many of you become teachers, my brethren, knowing that as such we shallwill incur a stricter judgment. |
| 3:3 |
Now if we put the bits into the horses mouths so that they maywill obey us, we direct their entire body as well. |
| 3:4 |
Behold,Look at the ships also, though they are so great and are driven by strong winds, are still directed by a very small rudder, wherever the inclination of the pilot desires. |
| 3:5 |
So also the tongue is a small part of the body, and yet it boasts of great things. Behold,See how great a forest is set aflame by such a small fire! |
| 3:7 |
For every species of beasts and birds, of reptiles and creatures of the sea, is tamed, and has been tamed by the human race. |
| 3:9 |
With it we bless our Lord and Father;, and with it we curse men, who have been made in the likeness of God; |
| 3:12 |
Can a fig tree, my brethren, produce olives, or a vine produce figs? NeitherNor can salt water produce fresh. |
| 4:2 |
You lust and do not have; so you commit murder. AndYou you are envious and cannot obtain; so you fight and quarrel. You do not have because you do not ask. |
| 4:9 |
Be miserable and mourn and weep; let your laughter be turned into mourning, and your joy to gloom. |
| 4:11 |
Do not speak against one another, brethren. He who speaks against a brother, or judges his brother, speaks against the law, and judges the law; but if you judge the law, you are not a doer of the law, but a judge of it. |
| 4:13 |
Come now, you who say, Today or tomorrow, we shallwill go to such and such a city, and spend a year there and engage in business and make a profit. |
| 4:15 |
Instead, you ought to say, If the Lord wills, we shallwill live and also do this or that. |
| 4:17 |
Therefore, to one who knows the right thing to do, and does not do it, to him it is sin. |
| 5:7 |

| 5:9 |
Do not complain, brethren, against one another, so that you yourselves may not be judged; behold, the Judge is standing right at the door. |
| 5:11 |
Behold,We we count those blessed who endured. You have heard of the endurance of Job and have seen the outcome of the Lords dealings, that the Lord is full of compassion and is merciful. |
| 5:12 |
But above all, my brethren, do not swear, either by heaven or by earth or with any other oath; but let your yes is to be yes, and your no, no;, so that you may not fall under judgment. |
| 5:13 |
Is anyone among you suffering? LetThen himhe must pray. Is anyone cheerful? LetHe himis to sing praises. |
| 5:14 |
Is anyone among you sick? LetThen himhe must call for the elders of the church, and letthey themare to pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord; |
| 5:16 |
Therefore, confess your sins to one another, and pray for one another, so that you may be healed. The effective prayer of a righteous man can accomplish much. |

| 5:18 |
AndThen he prayed again, and the sky poured rain, and the earth produced its fruit. |
| 5:19 |
My brethren, if any among you strays from the truth, and one turns him back, |
| 5:20 |
let him know that he who turns a sinner from the error of his way will save his soul from death, and will cover a multitude of sins. |
