JAS-1:1 James, a servant of God and of

the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve

tribes which are scattered abroad,

greeting.

JAS-1:2 My brethren, count it all joy

when ye fall into divers temptations;

JAS-1:3 Knowing [this], that the trying

of your faith worketh patience.

JAS-1:4 But let patience have [her]

perfect work, that ye may be perfect and

entire, wanting nothing.

JAS-1:5 If any of you lack wisdom, let

him ask of God, that giveth to all [men]

liberally, and upbraideth not; and it

shall be given him.

JAS-1:6 But let him ask in faith,

nothing wavering. For he that wavereth

is like a wave of the sea driven with

the wind and tossed.

JAS-1:7 For let not that man think that

he shall receive any thing of the Lord.

JAS-1:8 A double minded man [is]

unstable in all his ways.

JAS-1:9 Let the brother of low degree

rejoice in that he is exalted:

JAS-1:10 But the rich, in that he is

made low: because as the flower of the

grass he shall pass away.

JAS-1:11 For the sun is no sooner risen

with a burning heat, but 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 ways.

JAS-1:12 Blessed [is] the man that

endureth temptation: for when he is

tried, he shall receive the crown of

life, which the Lord hath promised to

them that love him.

JAS-1:13 Let no man say when he is

tempted, I am tempted of God: for God

cannot be tempted with evil, neither

tempteth he any man:

JAS-1:14 But every man is tempted, when

he is drawn away of his own lust, and

enticed.

JAS-1:15 Then when lust hath conceived,

it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it

is finished, bringeth forth death.

JAS-1:16 Do not err, my beloved

brethren.

JAS-1:17 Every good gift and every

perfect gift is from above, and cometh

down from the Father of lights, with

whom is no variableness, neither shadow

of turning.

JAS-1:18 Of his own will begat he us

with the word of truth, that we should

be a kind of firstfruits of his

creatures.

JAS-1:19 Wherefore, my beloved

brethren, let every man be swift to

hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath:

JAS-1:20 For the wrath of man worketh

not the righteousness of God.

JAS-1:21 Wherefore lay apart all

filthiness and superfluity of

naughtiness, and receive with meekness

the engrafted word, which is able to

save your souls.

JAS-1:22 But be ye doers of the word,

and not hearers only, deceiving your own

selves.

JAS-1:23 For if any be a hearer of the

word, and not a doer, he is like unto a

man beholding his natural face in a

glass:

JAS-1:24 For he beholdeth himself, and

goeth his way, and straightway

forgetteth what manner of man he was.

JAS-1:25 But whoso looketh into the

perfect law of liberty, and continueth

[therein], he being not a forgetful

hearer, but a doer of the work, this man

shall be blessed in his deed.

JAS-1:26 If any man among you seem to

be religious, and bridleth not his

tongue, but deceiveth his own heart,

this man's religion [is] vain.

JAS-1:27 Pure religion and undefiled

before God and the Father is this, To

visit the fatherless and widows in their

affliction, [and] to keep himself

unspotted from the world.

JAS-2:1 My brethren, have not the faith

of our Lord Jesus Christ, [the Lord] of

glory, with respect of persons.

JAS-2:2 For if there come unto your

assembly a man with a gold ring, in

goodly apparel, and there come in also a

poor man in vile raiment;

JAS-2:3 And ye have respect to him that

weareth the gay clothing, and say unto

him, Sit thou here in a good place; and

say to the poor, Stand thou there, or

sit here under my footstool:

JAS-2:4 Are ye not then partial in

yourselves, and are become judges of

evil thoughts?

JAS-2:5 Hearken, my beloved brethren,

Hath not God chosen the poor of this

world rich in faith, and heirs of the

kingdom which he hath promised to them

that love him?

JAS-2:6 But ye have despised the poor.

Do not rich men oppress you, and draw

you before the judgment seats?

JAS-2:7 Do not they blaspheme that

worthy name by the which ye are called?

JAS-2:8 If ye fulfil the royal law

according to the scripture, Thou shalt

love thy neighbour as thyself, ye do

well:

JAS-2:9 But if ye have respect to

persons, ye commit sin, and are

convinced of the law as transgressors.

JAS-2:10 For whosoever shall keep the

whole law, and yet offend in one

[point], he is guilty of all.

JAS-2:11 For he that said, Do not

commit adultery, said also, Do not kill.

Now if thou commit no adultery, yet if

thou kill, thou art become a

transgressor of the law.

JAS-2:12 So speak ye, and so do, as

they that shall be judged by the law of

liberty.

JAS-2:13 For he shall have judgment

without mercy, that hath showed no

mercy; and mercy rejoiceth against

judgment.

JAS-2:14 What [doth it] profit, my

brethren, though a man say he hath

faith, and have not works? can faith

save him?

JAS-2:15 If a brother or sister be

naked, and destitute of daily food,

JAS-2:16 And one of you say unto them,

Depart in peace, be [ye] warmed and

filled; notwithstanding ye give them not

those things which are needful to the

body; what [doth it] profit?

JAS-2:17 Even so faith, if it hath not

works, is dead, being alone.

JAS-2:18 Yea, a man may say, Thou hast

faith, and I have works: show me thy

faith without thy works, and I will show

thee my faith by my works.

JAS-2:19 Thou believest that there is

one God; thou doest well: the devils

also believe, and tremble.

JAS-2:20 But wilt thou know, O vain

man, that faith without works is dead?

JAS-2:21 Was not Abraham our father

justified by works, when he had offered

Isaac his son upon the altar?

JAS-2:22 Seest thou how faith wrought

with his works, and by works was faith

made perfect?

JAS-2:23 And the scripture was

fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed

God, and it was imputed unto him for

righteousness: and he was called the

Friend of God.

JAS-2:24 Ye see then how that by works

a man is justified, and not by faith

only.

JAS-2:25 Likewise also was not Rahab

the harlot justified by works, when she

had received the messengers, and had

sent [them] out another way?

JAS-2:26 For as the body without the

spirit is dead, so faith without works

is dead also.

JAS-3:1 My brethren, be not many

masters, knowing that we shall receive

the greater condemnation.

JAS-3:2 For in many things we offend

all. If any man offend not in word, the

same [is] a perfect man, [and] able also

to bridle the whole body.

JAS-3:3 Behold, we put bits in the

horses' mouths, that they may obey us;

and we turn about their whole body.

JAS-3:4 Behold also the ships, which

though [they be] so great, and [are]

driven of fierce winds, yet are they

turned about with a very small helm,

whithersoever the governor listeth.

JAS-3:5 Even so the tongue is a little

member, and boasteth great things.

Behold, how great a matter a little fire

kindleth!

JAS-3:6 And the tongue [is] a fire, a

world of iniquity: so is the tongue

among our members, that it defileth the

whole body, and setteth on fire the

course of nature; and it is set on fire

of hell.

JAS-3:7 For every kind of beasts, and

of birds, and of serpents, and of things

in the sea, is tamed, and hath been

tamed of mankind:

JAS-3:8 But the tongue can no man tame;

[it is] an unruly evil, full of deadly

poison.

JAS-3:9 Therewith bless we God, even

the Father; and therewith curse we men,

which are made after the similitude of

God.

JAS-3:10 Out of the same mouth

proceedeth blessing and cursing. My

brethren, these things ought not so to

be.

JAS-3:11 Doth a fountain send forth at

the same place sweet [water] and bitter?

JAS-3:12 Can the fig tree, my brethren,

bear olive berries? either a vine, figs?

so [can] no fountain both yield salt

water and fresh.

JAS-3:13 Who [is] a wise man and endued

with knowledge among you? let him show

out of a good conversation his works

with meekness of wisdom.

JAS-3:14 But if ye have bitter envying

and strife in your hearts, glory not,

and lie not against the truth.

JAS-3:15 This wisdom descendeth not

from above, but [is] earthly, sensual,

devilish.

JAS-3:16 For where envying and strife

[is], there [is] confusion and every

evil work.

JAS-3:17 But the wisdom that is from

above is first pure, then peaceable,

gentle, [and] easy to be entreated, full

of mercy and good fruits, without

partiality, and without hypocrisy.

JAS-3:18 And the fruit of righteousness

is sown in peace of them that make

peace.

JAS-4:1 From whence [come] wars and

fightings among you? [come they] not

hence, [even] of your lusts that war in

your members?

JAS-4:2 Ye lust, and have not: ye kill,

and desire to have, and cannot obtain:

ye fight and war, yet ye have not,

because ye ask not.

JAS-4:3 Ye ask, and receive not,

because ye ask amiss, that ye may

consume [it] upon your lusts.

JAS-4:4 Ye adulterers and adulteresses,

know ye not that the friendship of the

world is enmity with God? whosoever

therefore will be a friend of the world

is the enemy of God.

JAS-4:5 Do ye think that the scripture

saith in vain, The spirit that dwelleth

in us lusteth to envy?

JAS-4:6 But he giveth more grace.

Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the

proud, but giveth grace unto the humble.

JAS-4:7 Submit yourselves therefore to

God. Resist the devil, and he will flee

from you.

JAS-4:8 Draw nigh to God, and he will

draw nigh to you. Cleanse [your] hands,

[ye] sinners; and purify [your] hearts,

[ye] double minded.

JAS-4:9 Be afflicted, and mourn, and

weep: let your laughter be turned to

mourning, and [your] joy to heaviness.

JAS-4:10 Humble yourselves in the sight

of the Lord, and he shall lift you up.

JAS-4:11 Speak not evil one of another,

brethren. He that speaketh evil of [his]

brother, and judgeth his brother,

speaketh evil of the law, and judgeth

the law: but if thou judge the law, thou

art not a doer of the law, but a judge.

JAS-4:12 There is one lawgiver, who is

able to save and to destroy: who art

thou that judgest another?

JAS-4:13 Go to now, ye that say, To day

or to morrow we will go into such a

city, and continue there a year, and buy

and sell, and get gain:

JAS-4:14 Whereas ye know not what

[shall be] on the morrow. For what [is]

your life? It is even a vapour, that

appeareth for a little time, and then

vanisheth away.

JAS-4:15 For that ye [ought] to say, If

the Lord will, we shall live, and do

this, or that.

JAS-4:16 But now ye rejoice in your

boastings: all such rejoicing is evil.

JAS-4:17 Therefore to him that knoweth

to do good, and doeth [it] not, to him

it is sin.

JAS-5:1 Go to now, [ye] rich men, weep

and howl for your miseries that shall

come upon [you].

JAS-5:2 Your riches are corrupted, and

your garments are motheaten.

JAS-5:3 Your gold and silver is

cankered; and the rust of them shall be

a witness against you, and shall eat

your flesh as it were fire. Ye have

heaped treasure together for the last

days.

JAS-5:4 Behold, the hire of the

labourers who have reaped down your

fields, which is of you kept back by

fraud, crieth: and the cries of them

which have reaped are entered into the

ears of the Lord of sabaoth.

JAS-5:5 Ye have lived in pleasure on

the earth, and been wanton; ye have

nourished your hearts, as in a day of

slaughter.

JAS-5:6 Ye have condemned [and] killed

the just; [and] he doth not resist you.

JAS-5:7 Be patient therefore, brethren,

unto the coming of the Lord. Behold, the

husbandman waiteth for the precious

fruit of the earth, and hath long

patience for it, until he receive the

early and latter rain.

JAS-5:8 Be ye also patient; stablish

your hearts: for the coming of the Lord

draweth nigh.

JAS-5:9 Grudge not one against another,

brethren, lest ye be condemned: behold,

the judge standeth before the door.

JAS-5:10 Take, my brethren, the

prophets, who have spoken in the name of

the Lord, for an example of suffering

affliction, and of patience.

JAS-5:11 Behold, we count them happy

which endure. Ye have heard of the

patience of Job, and have seen the end

of the Lord; that the Lord is very

pitiful, and of tender mercy.

JAS-5:12 But above all things, my

brethren, swear not, neither by heaven,

neither by the earth, neither by any

other oath: but let your yea be yea; and

[your] nay, nay; lest ye fall into

condemnation.

JAS-5:13 Is any among you afflicted?

let him pray. Is any merry? let him sing

psalms.

JAS-5:14 Is any sick among you? let him

call for the elders of the church; and

let them pray over him, anointing him

with oil in the name of the Lord:

JAS-5:15 And the prayer of faith shall

save the sick, and the Lord shall raise

him up; and if he have committed sins,

they shall be forgiven him.

JAS-5:16 Confess [your] faults one to

another, and pray one for another, that

ye may be healed. The effectual fervent

prayer of a righteous man availeth much.

JAS-5:17 Elias was a man subject to

like passions as we are, and he prayed

earnestly that it might not rain: and it

rained not on the earth by the space of

three years and six months.

JAS-5:18 And he prayed again, and the

heaven gave rain, and the earth brought

forth her fruit.

JAS-5:19 Brethren, if any of you do err

from the truth, and one convert him;

JAS-5:20 Let him know, that he which

converteth the sinner from the error of

his way shall save a soul from death,

and shall hide a multitude of sins.
