James

of God

and

of the Lord

Jesus

Christ

a servant

 

to the twelve

tribes

 

which

 

are scattered abroad

greeting

all

joy

count it

brethren

My

when

temptations

ye fall

into divers

Knowing

this that

 

the trying

of your

 

faith

worketh

patience

 

But

patience

work

her perfect

have

that

ye may be

her perfect

and

entire

nothing

 

wanting

 

 

 

of you

lack

wisdom

let him ask

of

 

it shall be given

God

to all

men liberally

and

not

upbraideth

and

it shall be given

him

let him ask

But

in

faith

nothing

he that wavereth

 

For

he that wavereth

is like

a wave

of the sea

driven with the wind

and

tossed

not

For

let

 

man

that

that

he shall receive

any thing

of

 

the Lord

man

A double minded

is unstable

in

all

 

ways

 

Let

 

 

the brother

 

of low degree

in

 

is exalted

 

 

But

the rich

in

 

is made low

 

because

as

the flower

of the grass

he shall pass away

is no sooner risen

For

 

the sun

with

 

a burning heat

also

it withereth

 

the grass

also

 

the flower

of it

falleth

also

 

the grace

 

of the fashion

of it

perisheth

so

also

 

the rich man

in

 

ways

of it

fade away

Blessed

is the man

that

endureth

temptation

for

when he is tried

 

he shall receive

 

the crown

 

of life

that

hath promised

 

the Lord

 

to them that love

him

no man

I am tempted

Let

 

of

 

God

I am tempted

 

for

God

cannot be tempted

 

with evil

I am tempted

neither

 

any man

every man

But

is tempted

of

 

his own

lust

when he is drawn away

and

enticed

Then

 

when lust

hath conceived

it bringeth forth

sin

 

and

sin

when it is finished

bringeth forth

death

not

Do

brethren

my

beloved

Every

gift

good

and

Every

gift

perfect

from above

is

and cometh down

from

 

the Father

 

of lights

with

whom

no

is

variableness

neither

of turning

shadow

Of his own will

begat he

us

with the word

of truth

that

 

should be

us

of firstfruits

a kind

 

 

creatures

Wherefore

brethren

my

beloved

be

every

man

swift

to

 

hear

slow

to

 

speak

slow

to

wrath

the wrath

For

of man

the righteousness

of God

not

worketh

Wherefore

lay apart

all

filthiness

and

superfluity

of naughtiness

with

meekness

and receive

which

the engrafted

word

which

is able

to save

which

souls

your

be ye

But

doers

of the word

and

not

only

hearers

deceiving

your own selves

For

 

 

a hearer

of the word

be

and

not

a doer

he

is like

unto a man

beholding

 

face

 

natural

 

in

a glass

he beholdeth

For

himself

and

goeth his way

and

straightway

forgetteth

what manner of man

he was

 

But

whoso looketh

into

law

the perfect

 

 

of liberty

and

continueth

therein he

not

hearer

a forgetful

being

but

a doer

of the work

therein he

blessed

in

 

deed

 

shall be

 

 

seem

religious

to be

among

you

not

and bridleth

tongue

 

but

deceiveth

heart

 

this man's

is vain

 

religion

religion

Pure

and

undefiled

before

 

God

and

the Father

this

is

To visit

the fatherless

and

widows

in

 

their affliction

 

unspotted

himself

and to keep

from

 

the world
