1 James|strong="G2385", a|strong="G2532" servant|strong="G1401" of|strong="G2316" God|strong="G2316" and|strong="G2532" of|strong="G2316" the|strong="G1722" Lord|strong="G2962" Jesus|strong="G2424" Christ|strong="G5547", to|strong="G2532" the|strong="G1722" twelve|strong="G1427" tribes|strong="G5443" which|strong="G3588" are|strong="G3588" of|strong="G2316" the|strong="G1722" Dispersion|strong="G1290", greeting|strong="G5463".
2 Count|strong="G2233" it|strong="G2233" all|strong="G3956" joy|strong="G5479", my|strong="G3956" brethren, when|strong="G3752" ye|strong="G3956" fall into|strong="G4045" manifold|strong="G4164" temptations|strong="G3986";
3 Knowing|strong="G1097" that|strong="G3754" the|strong="G3588" proof|strong="G4102" of|strong="G4102" your|strong="G3588" faith|strong="G4102" worketh|strong="G2716" patience|strong="G5281".
4 And|strong="G2532" let|strong="G1161" patience|strong="G5281" have|strong="G2192" its perfect|strong="G5046" work|strong="G2041", that|strong="G2443" ye|strong="G2532" may|strong="G2532" be|strong="G1510" perfect|strong="G5046" and|strong="G2532" entire|strong="G3648", lacking|strong="G3007" in|strong="G1722" nothing|strong="G3367".
5 But|strong="G1161" if|strong="G1487" any|strong="G5100" of|strong="G2316" you|strong="G5210" lacketh wisdom|strong="G4678", let|strong="G1161" him|strong="G3588" ask of|strong="G2316" God|strong="G2316", who|strong="G3588" giveth|strong="G1325" to|strong="G2532" all|strong="G3956" liberally and|strong="G2532" upbraideth|strong="G3679" not|strong="G3361"; and|strong="G2532" it|strong="G2532" shall|strong="G2532" be|strong="G2532" given|strong="G1325" him|strong="G3588".
6 But|strong="G1161" let|strong="G1161" him|strong="G3588" ask in|strong="G1722" faith|strong="G4102", nothing|strong="G3367" doubting|strong="G1252": for|strong="G1063" he|strong="G2532" that|strong="G3588" doubteth|strong="G1252" is|strong="G3588" like|strong="G1503" the|strong="G1722" surge of|strong="G2532" the|strong="G1722" sea|strong="G2281" driven by|strong="G1722" the|strong="G1722" wind|strong="G4494" and|strong="G2532" tossed|strong="G4494".
7 For|strong="G1063" let|strong="G1063" not|strong="G3361" that|strong="G3754" man|strong="G5100" think|strong="G5100" that|strong="G3754" he|strong="G3754" shall|strong="G2962" receive|strong="G2983" anything|strong="G5100" of|strong="G3844" the|strong="G3588" Lord|strong="G2962";
8 a|strong="G1722" doubleminded man|strong="G3956", unstable in|strong="G1722" all|strong="G3956" his|strong="G3956" ways|strong="G3598".
9 But|strong="G1161" let|strong="G1161" the|strong="G1722" brother of|strong="G1722" low degree|strong="G5011" glory|strong="G2744" in|strong="G1722" his|strong="G1722" high|strong="G5311" estate|strong="G5011":
10 and|strong="G1161" the|strong="G1722" rich|strong="G4145", in|strong="G1722" that|strong="G3754" he|strong="G1161" is|strong="G3588" made|strong="G1161" low|strong="G5014": because|strong="G3754" as|strong="G5613" the|strong="G1722" flower of|strong="G1722" the|strong="G1722" grass|strong="G5528" he|strong="G1161" shall|strong="G3928" pass|strong="G3928" away|strong="G3928".
11 For|strong="G1063" the|strong="G1722" sun|strong="G2246" ariseth with|strong="G1722" the|strong="G1722" scorching|strong="G2742" wind|strong="G2742", and|strong="G2532" withereth|strong="G3583" the|strong="G1722" grass|strong="G5528"; and|strong="G2532" the|strong="G1722" flower thereof falleth|strong="G1601", and|strong="G2532" the|strong="G1722" grace|strong="G2143" of|strong="G2532" the|strong="G1722" fashion|strong="G3779" of|strong="G2532" it|strong="G2532" perisheth: so|strong="G3779" also|strong="G2532" shall|strong="G2532" the|strong="G1722" rich|strong="G4145" man|strong="G4145" fade|strong="G3133" away|strong="G3583" in|strong="G1722" his|strong="G1722" goings.
12 Blessed|strong="G3107" is|strong="G3588" the|strong="G3588" man|strong="G3739" that|strong="G3754" endureth|strong="G5278" temptation|strong="G3986": for|strong="G3754" when|strong="G1096" he|strong="G3739" hath|strong="G3588" been|strong="G1096" approved|strong="G1384", he|strong="G3739" shall|strong="G3739" receive|strong="G2983" the|strong="G3588" crown|strong="G4735" of|strong="G4735" life|strong="G2222", which|strong="G3739" the Lord promised|strong="G1861" to|strong="G1096" them|strong="G3588" that|strong="G3754" love him|strong="G3588".
13 Let|strong="G1161" no|strong="G3762" man|strong="G3762" say|strong="G3004" when|strong="G1161" he|strong="G1161" is|strong="G1510" tempted|strong="G3985", I|strong="G1161" am|strong="G1510" tempted|strong="G3985" of|strong="G2316" God|strong="G2316": for|strong="G1063" God|strong="G2316" cannot be|strong="G1510" tempted|strong="G3985" with|strong="G2316" evil|strong="G2556", and|strong="G1161" he|strong="G1161" himself tempteth|strong="G3985" no|strong="G3762" man|strong="G3762":
14 but|strong="G1161" each|strong="G1538" man|strong="G1538" is|strong="G3588" tempted|strong="G3985", when|strong="G1161" he|strong="G2532" is|strong="G3588" drawn away|strong="G1828" by|strong="G5259" his|strong="G2398" own|strong="G2398" lust|strong="G1939", and|strong="G2532" enticed|strong="G1185".
15 Then|strong="G1161" the|strong="G1161" lust|strong="G1939", when|strong="G1161" it|strong="G1161" hath|strong="G3588" conceived|strong="G4815", beareth sin: and|strong="G1161" the|strong="G1161" sin, when|strong="G1161" it|strong="G1161" is|strong="G3588" fullgrown, bringeth|strong="G3588" forth|strong="G5088" death|strong="G2288".
16 Be|strong="G3361" not|strong="G3361" deceived|strong="G4105", my|strong="G1473" beloved brethren.
17 Every|strong="G3956" good|strong="G3956" gift|strong="G1434" and|strong="G2532" every|strong="G3956" perfect|strong="G5046" boon is|strong="G1510" from|strong="G3844" above|strong="G3844", coming|strong="G2597" down|strong="G2597" from|strong="G3844" the|strong="G2532" Father|strong="G3962" of|strong="G2532" lights|strong="G5457", with|strong="G3844" whom|strong="G3739" can be|strong="G1510" no|strong="G3756" variation|strong="G3883", neither|strong="G3756" shadow that|strong="G3739" is|strong="G1510" cast|strong="G2532" by|strong="G3844" turning|strong="G5157".
18 Of|strong="G3056" his|strong="G1519" own will|strong="G1510" he|strong="G3588" brought|strong="G1519" us|strong="G1519" forth|strong="G1519" by|strong="G1519" the|strong="G1519" word|strong="G3056" of|strong="G3056" truth, that|strong="G3588" we|strong="G2249" should|strong="G5100" be|strong="G1510" a|strong="G1519" kind|strong="G5100" of|strong="G3056" firstfruits of|strong="G3056" his|strong="G1519" creatures|strong="G2938".
19 Ye|strong="G1492" know|strong="G1492" this, my|strong="G3956" beloved brethren|strong="G3588". But|strong="G1161" let|strong="G1161" every|strong="G3956" man|strong="G3956" be|strong="G1510" swift|strong="G5036" to|strong="G1519" hear, slow|strong="G1021" to|strong="G1519" speak|strong="G2980", slow|strong="G1021" to|strong="G1519" wrath|strong="G3709":
20 for|strong="G1063" the|strong="G1063" wrath|strong="G3709" of|strong="G2316" man|strong="G3756" worketh|strong="G2038" not|strong="G3756" the|strong="G1063" righteousness|strong="G1343" of|strong="G2316" God|strong="G2316".
21 Wherefore|strong="G1352" putting|strong="G2532" away all|strong="G3956" filthiness|strong="G4507" and|strong="G2532" overflowing of|strong="G3056" wickedness|strong="G2549", receive|strong="G1209" with|strong="G1722" meekness|strong="G4240" the|strong="G1722" implanted|strong="G1721" word|strong="G3056", which|strong="G3588" is|strong="G3588" able|strong="G1410" to|strong="G2532" save|strong="G4982" your|strong="G2532" souls|strong="G5590".
22 But|strong="G1161" be|strong="G1096" ye|strong="G2532" doers|strong="G4163" of|strong="G3056" the|strong="G2532" word|strong="G3056", and|strong="G2532" not|strong="G3361" hearers only|strong="G3440", deluding your|strong="G2532" own|strong="G1438" selves|strong="G1438".
23 For|strong="G3754" if|strong="G1487" any|strong="G5100" one|strong="G5100" is|strong="G1510" a|strong="G2532" hearer of|strong="G3056" the|strong="G1722" word|strong="G3056", and|strong="G2532" not|strong="G3756" a|strong="G2532" doer|strong="G4163", he|strong="G2532" is|strong="G1510" like|strong="G1503" unto|strong="G1722" a|strong="G2532" man|strong="G5100" beholding|strong="G2657" his|strong="G1722" natural|strong="G1078" face|strong="G4383" in|strong="G1722" a|strong="G2532" mirror|strong="G2072":
24 for|strong="G1063" he|strong="G2532" beholdeth|strong="G2657" himself|strong="G1438", and|strong="G2532" goeth away, and|strong="G2532" straightway|strong="G2112" forgetteth|strong="G1950" what|strong="G1063" manner of|strong="G2532" man|strong="G3697" he|strong="G2532" was|strong="G1510".
25 But|strong="G1161" he|strong="G2532" that|strong="G3588" looketh|strong="G3879" into|strong="G1519" the|strong="G1722" perfect|strong="G5046" law|strong="G3551", the|strong="G1722" law of|strong="G2532" liberty|strong="G1657", and|strong="G2532" so continueth|strong="G2532", being|strong="G1510" not|strong="G3756" a|strong="G1096" hearer that|strong="G3588" forgetteth, but|strong="G1161" a|strong="G1096" doer|strong="G4163" that|strong="G3588" worketh, this|strong="G3778" man|strong="G3778" shall|strong="G2532" be|strong="G1096" blessed|strong="G3107" in|strong="G1722" his|strong="G1519" doing|strong="G2041".
26 If|strong="G1487" any|strong="G5100" man|strong="G5100" thinketh|strong="G1380" himself|strong="G2588" to|strong="G5100" be|strong="G1510" religious|strong="G2357", while|strong="G1510" he|strong="G3778" bridleth|strong="G5468" not|strong="G3361" his|strong="G3588" tongue|strong="G1100" but|strong="G1487" deceiveth his|strong="G3588" heart|strong="G2588", this|strong="G3778" man|strong="G5100"’s religion|strong="G2356" is|strong="G1510" vain|strong="G3152".
27 Pure|strong="G2513" religion|strong="G2356" and|strong="G2532" undefiled before|strong="G3844" our|strong="G2316" God|strong="G2316" and|strong="G2532" Father|strong="G3962" is|strong="G1510" this|strong="G3778", to|strong="G2532" visit|strong="G1980" the|strong="G1722" fatherless|strong="G3737" and|strong="G2532" widows|strong="G5503" in|strong="G1722" their|strong="G1438" affliction|strong="G2347", and to|strong="G2532" keep|strong="G5083" himself|strong="G1438" unspotted from|strong="G3844" the|strong="G1722" world|strong="G2889".
