king james study 11 James a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ to the twelve tribes which are scattered abroad greeting . 12 My brethren count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations . 13 Knowing this that the trying of your faith worketh patience . 14 But let patience have her perfect work that ye may be perfect and entire wanting nothing . 15 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 . 16 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 . 17 For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord . 18 A double minded man is unstable in all his ways . 19 Let the brother of low degree rejoice in that he is exalted . 110 But the rich in that he is made low because as the flower of the grass he shall pass away . 111 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 . 112 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 . 113 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 . 114 But every man is tempted when he is drawn away of his own lust and enticed . 115 Then when lust hath conceived it bringeth forth sin and sin when it is finished bringeth forth death . 116 Do not err my beloved brethren . 117 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 . 118 Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures . 119 Wherefore my beloved brethren let every man be swift to hear slow to speak slow to wrath . 120 For the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God . 121 Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness and receive with meekness the engrafted word which is able to save your souls . 122 But be ye doers of the word and not hearers only deceiving your own selves . 123 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 . 124 For he beholdeth himself and goeth his way and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was . 125 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 . 126 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 . 127 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 . * 21 My brethren have not the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ the Lord of glory with respect of persons . 22 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 . 23 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 . 24 Are ye not then partial in yourselves and are become judges of evil thoughts . 25 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 . 26 But ye have despised the poor Do not rich men oppress you and draw you before the judgment seats . 27 Do not they blaspheme that worthy name by the which ye are called . 28 If ye fulfil the royal law according to the scripture Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself ye do well . 29 But if ye have respect to persons ye commit sin and are convinced of the law as transgressors . 210 For whosoever shall keep the whole law and yet offend in one point he is guilty of all . 211 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 . 212 So speak ye and so do as they that shall be judged by the law of liberty . 213 For he shall have judgment without mercy that hath showed no mercy and mercy rejoiceth against judgment . 214 What doth it profit my brethren though a man say he hath faith and have not works can faith save him . 215 If a brother or sister be naked and destitute of daily food . 216 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 . 217 Even so faith if it hath not works is dead being alone . 218 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 . 219 Thou believest that there is one God thou doest well the devils also believe and tremble . 220 But wilt thou know O vain man that faith without works is dead . 221 Was not Abraham our father justified by works when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar . 222 Seest thou how faith wrought with his works and by works was faith made perfect . 223 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 . 224 Ye see then how that by works a man is justified and not by faith only . 225 Likewise also was not Rahab the harlot justified by works when she had received the messengers and had sent them out another way . 226 For as the body without the spirit is dead so faith without works is dead also . * 31 My brethren be not many masters knowing that we shall receive the greater condemnation . 32 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 . 33 Behold we put bits in the horses' mouths that they may obey us and we turn about their whole body . 34 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 . 35 Even so the tongue is a little member and boasteth great things Behold how great a matter a little fire kindleth . 36 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 . 37 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 . 38 But the tongue can no man tame it is an unruly evil full of deadly poison . 39 Therewith bless we God even the Father and therewith curse we men which are made after the similitude of God . 310 Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing My brethren these things ought not so to be . 311 Doth a fountain send forth at the same place sweet water and bitter . 312 Can the fig tree my brethren bear olive berries either a vine figs so can no fountain both yield salt water and fresh . 313 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 . 314 But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts glory not and lie not against the truth . 315 This wisdom descendeth not from above but is earthly sensual devilish . 316 For where envying and strife is there is confusion and every evil work . 317 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 . 318 And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace . * 41 From whence come wars and fightings among you come they not hence even of your lusts that war in your members . 42 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 . 43 Ye ask and receive not because ye ask amiss that ye may consume it upon your lusts . 44 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 . |
