Jam 01:01 ¶ 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).
Jam 01:02 ¶ My <3450> brethren <80>, count it <
2233> (5662) all
<3956> joy <5479> when <3752> ye fall <
4045> (5632) into divers
<4164> temptations <3986>;
Jam 01:03 Knowing <1097> (5723) this, that <3754>
the trying
<1383> of your <5216> faith <4102> worketh <
2716> (5736)
patience <5281>.
Jam 01:04 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>.
Jam 01:05 <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>.
Jam 01:06 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).
Jam 01:07 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>.
Jam 01:08 A double minded <1374> man <435> is
unstable <182> in
<1722> all <3956> his <846> ways <3598>.
Jam 01:09 <1161> Let <2744> <0> the brother
<80> of low degree
<5011> rejoice <2744> (5737) in <1722> that he
<846> is exalted
<5311>:
Jam 01:10 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).
Jam 01:11 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>.
Jam 01:12 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>.
Jam 01:13 ¶ 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>:
Jam 01:14 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).
Jam 01:15 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>.
Jam 01:16 Do <4105> <0> not <3361> err <
4105> (5744), my <3450>
beloved <27> brethren <80>.
Jam 01:17 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>.
Jam 01:18 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>.
Jam 01:19 ¶ 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>:
Jam 01:20 For <1063> the wrath <3709> of man <
435> worketh
<2716> (5736) not <3756> the righteousness <
1343> of God <2316>.
Jam 01:21 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>.
Jam 01:22 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>.
Jam 01:23 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>:
Jam 01:24 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).
Jam 01:25 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>.
Jam 01:26 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>.
Jam 01:27 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>.
Jam 02:01 ¶ My <3450> brethren <80>, have <2192>
(5720) not
<3361> the faith <4102> of our <2257> Lord <
2962> Jesus <2424>
Christ <5547>, the Lord of glory <1391>, with <
1722> respect of
persons <4382>.
Jam 02:02 For <1063> if <1437> there come <
1525> (5632) unto
<1519> your <5216> assembly <4864> a man <
435> with a gold ring
<5554>, in <1722> goodly <2986> apparel <
2066>, and <1161> there
come in <1525> (5632) also <2532> a poor man <
4434> in <1722>
vile <4508> raiment <2066>;
Jam 02:03 And <2532> ye have respect <1914> (5661)
to <1909>
him that weareth <5409> (5723) the gay <2986>
clothing <2066>,
and <2532> say <2036> (5632) unto him <846>,
Sit <2521> (5737)
thou <4771> here <5602> in a good place <2573>;
and <2532> say
<2036> (5632) to the poor <4434>, Stand <2476>
(5628) thou
<4771> there <1563>, or <2228> sit <2521>
(5737) here <5602>
under <5259> my <3450> footstool <5286>:
Jam 02:04 Are ye <1252> <0> not <3756> then
<2532> partial
<1252> (5681) in <1722> yourselves <1438>, and
<2532> are become
<1096> (5633) judges <2923> of evil <4190>
thoughts <1261>?
Jam 02:05 Hearken <191> (5657), my <3450> beloved
<27> brethren
<80>, Hath <1586> <0> not <3756> God <
2316> chosen <1586> (5668)
the poor <4434> of this <5127> world <2889>
rich <4145> in
<1722> faith <4102>, and <2532> heirs <
2818> of the kingdom
<932> which <3739> he hath promised <1861>
(5662) to them that
love <25> (5723) him <846>?
Jam 02:06 But <1161> ye <5210> have despised <
818> (5656) the
poor <4434>. Do <2616> <0> not <3756>
rich men <4145> oppress
<2616> (5719) you <5216>, and <2532> draw <
846> <1670> (5719)
you <5209> before <1519> the judgment seats <
2922>?
Jam 02:07 Do <987> <0> not <3756> they <
846> blaspheme <987>
(5719) that worthy <2570> name <3686> by <1909>
the which ye
<5209> are called <1941> (5685)?
Jam 02:08 ¶ If <1487> <3305> ye fulfil <5055>
(5719) the royal
<937> law <3551> according to <2596> the
scripture <1124>, Thou
shalt love <25> (5692) thy <4675> neighbour <
4139> as <5613>
thyself <4572>, ye do <4160> (5719) well <2573>:
Jam 02:09 But <1161> if <1487> ye have respect to
persons
<4380> (5719), ye commit <2038> (5736) sin <266>
, and are
convinced <1651> (5746) of <5259> the law <3551>
as <5613>
transgressors <3848>.
Jam 02:10 For <1063> whosoever <3748> shall keep <
5083> (5692)
the whole <3650> law <3551>, and yet <1161>
offend <4417> (5692)
in <1722> one <1520> point, he is <1096> (5754)
guilty <1777> of
all <3956>.
Jam 02:11 For <1063> he that said <2036> (5631), Do
<3431> <0>
not <3361> commit adultery <3431> (5661), said <
2036> (5627)
also <2532>, Do <5407> <0> not <3361>
kill <5407> (5661). Now
<1161> if <1487> thou commit <3431> <0>
no <3756> adultery
<3431> (5692), yet if <1161> thou kill <5407>
(5692), thou art
become <1096> (5754) a transgressor <3848> of the law
<3551>.
Jam 02:12 So <3779> speak ye <2980> (5720), and <
2532> so
<3779> do <4160> (5720), as <5613> they that
shall be <3195>
(5723) judged <2919> (5745) by <1223> the law <
3551> of liberty
<1657>.
Jam 02:13 For <1063> he shall have judgment <2920>
without
mercy <448>, that hath shewed <4160> (5660) no <
3361> mercy
<1656>; and <2532> mercy <1656> rejoiceth
against <2620> (5736)
judgment <2920>.
Jam 02:14 ¶ What <5101> doth it profit <3786>, my <
3450>
brethren <80>, though <1437> a man <5100> say
<3004> (5725) he
hath <2192> (5721) faith <4102>, and <1161>
have <2192> (5725)
not <3361> works <2041>? can <1410> (5736) <
3361> faith <4102>
save <4982> (5658) him <846>?
Jam 02:15 If <1437> <1161> a brother <80> or
<2228> sister <79>
be <5225> (5725) naked <1131>, and <2532>
destitute <3007>
(5746) <5600> (5753) of daily <2184> food <5160>
,
Jam 02:16 And <1161> one <5100> of <1537> you
<5216> say <2036>
(5632) unto them <846>, Depart <5217> (5720) in <
1722> peace
<1515>, be ye warmed <2328> (5728) and <2532>
filled <5526>
(5744); notwithstanding <1161> ye give <1325> (5632)
them <846>
not <3361> those things which are needful <2006> to
the body
<4983>; what <5101> doth it profit <3786>?
Jam 02:17 Even <2532> so <3779> faith <4102>,
if <3362> <0> it
hath <2192> (5725) not <3362> works <2041>, is
<2076> (5748)
dead <3498>, being alone <2596> <1438>.
Jam 02:18 Yea <235>, a man <5100> may say <
2046> (5692), Thou
<4771> hast <2192> (5719) faith <4102>, and I
<2504> have <2192>
(5719) works <2041>: shew <1166> (5657) me <
3427> thy <4675>
faith <4102> without <1537> thy <4675> works
<2041>, and I
<2504> will shew <1166> (5692) thee <4671> my
<3450> faith
<4102> by <1537> my <3450> works <2041>.
Jam 02:19 Thou <4771> believest <4100> (5719) that
<3754> there
is <2076> (5748) one <1520> God <2316>; thou
doest <4160> (5719)
well <2573>: the devils <1140> also <2532>
believe <4100> (5719),
and <2532> tremble <5425> (5719).
Jam 02:20 But <1161> wilt <2309> (5719) thou know
<1097> (5629),
O <5599> vain <2756> man <444>, that <
3754> faith <4102>
without <5565> works <2041> is <2076> (5748)
dead <3498>?
Jam 02:21 Was <1344> <0> not <3756> Abraham
<11> our <2257>
father <3962> justified <1344> (5681) by <1537>
works <2041>,
when he had offered <399> (5660) Isaac <2464> his <
846> son
<5207> upon <1909> the altar <2379>?
