James - Chapter: 1


1:1	James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which are scattered abroad: Greetings.
1:2	My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials,
1:3	knowing this, that the testing of your faith produces perseverance.
1:4	But let perseverance have her perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing.
1:5	If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all people liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him.
1:6	But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering, because, he who wavers is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind.
1:7	Because, do not let that man think that he will receive anything from the Lord;
1:8	a double minded man is unstable in all his ways.
1:9	Let the lowly brother rejoice in his exaltation,
1:10	but the rich in his humiliation, because as a flower of the field he will pass away.
1:11	Because, no sooner has the sun risen with a burning heat than it withers the grass; its flower falls, and its beautiful appearance perishes. So the rich man likewise will fade away in his ways.
1:12	Blessed is the man who endures temptation; because, when he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love Him.
1:13	Let no one say when he is tempted, "I am tempted by God"; because, God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does He tempt anyone.
1:14	But each one is tempted when he is drawn away by his own lust and enticed.
1:15	Then, when lust has conceived, it brings forth sin; and sin, when it is finished, brings forth death.
1:16	Do not be deceived, my beloved brethren.
1:17	Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning.
1:18	Of His own will He begot us by the word of truth, that we might be a type of firstfruits of His creatures.
1:19	So then, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath;
1:20	because, the wrath of man does not produce the righteousness of God.
1:21	Therefore lay aside all filthiness and overflow of wickedness, and receive with meekness the implanted word, which is able to save your souls.
1:22	But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.
1:23	because, if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man observing his natural face in a mirror;
1:24	because, he observes himself, goes away, and immediately forgets what kind of man he was.
1:25	But he who looks into the perfect law of liberty and continues in it, and is not a forgetful hearer but a doer of the work, this one will be blessed in what he does.
1:26	If anyone among you seems to be religious, and does not bridle his tongue but deceives his own heart, this one's religion is vain.
1:27	Pure and undefiled religion before God and the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unspotted from the world.


1:1	Iames a seruant of God, and of the Lord Iesus Christ, to the twelue Tribes, which are scattered abroade, salutation.
1:2	My brethren, count it exceeding ioy, when ye fall into diuers tentations,
1:3	Knowing that ye trying of your faith bringeth forth patience,
1:4	And let patience haue her perfect worke, that ye may be perfect and entier, lacking nothing.
1:5	If any of you lacke wisedome, let him aske of God, which giueth to all men liberally, and reprocheth no man, and it shalbe giuen him.
1:6	But let him aske in faith, and wauer not: for hee that wauereth, is like a waue of the sea, tost of the winde, and caried away.
1:7	Neither let that man thinke that hee shall receiue any thing of the Lord.
1:8	A double minded man is vnstable in all his waies.
1:9	Let the brother of lowe degree reioyce in that he is exalted:
1:10	Againe hee that is rich, in that hee is made lowe: for as the flower of the grasse, shall he vanish away.
1:11	For as when the sunne riseth with heate, then the grasse withereth, and his flower falleth away, and the goodly shape of it perisheth: euen so shall the rich man wither away in all his waies.
1:12	Blessed is ye man, that endureth tentation: for when he is tried, hee shall receiue the crowne of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that loue him.
1:13	Let no man say when hee is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God can not bee tempted with euill, neither tempteth he any man.
1:14	But euery man is tempted, when hee is drawen away by his owne concupiscence, and is entised.
1:15	Then when lust hath conceiued, it bringeth foorth sinne, and sinne when it is finished, bringeth foorth death.
1:16	Erre not, my deare brethren.
1:17	Euery good giuing, and euery perfect gift is from aboue, and commeth downe from the Father of lights, with whome is no variablenes, neither shadow of turning.
1:18	Of his owne will begate hee vs with the woorde of trueth, that we shoulde be as the first fruites of his creatures.
1:19	Wherefore my deare brethren, let euery man be swift to heare, slowe to speake, and slowe to wrath.
1:20	For the wrath of man doeth not accomplish the righteousnesse of God.
1:21	Wherefore lay apart all filthinesse, and superfluitie of maliciousnesse, and receiue with meekenes the word that is graffed in you, which is able to saue your soules.
1:22	And be ye doers of the word, and not hearers onely, deceiuing your owne selues.
1:23	For if any heare the woorde, and doe it not, he is like vnto a man, that beholdeth his naturall face in a glasse.
1:24	For when he hath considered himselfe, hee goeth his way, and forgetteth immediately what maner of one he was.
1:25	But who so looketh in the perfect Lawe of libertie, and continueth therein, hee not being a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the woorke, shalbe blessed in his deede.
1:26	If any man amog you seeme religious, and refraineth not his tongue, but deceiueth his owne heart, this mans religion is vaine.
1:27	Pure religion and vndefiled before God, euen the Father, is this, to visite the fatherlesse, and widdowes in their aduersitie, and to keepe himselfe vnspotted of the world.


1:1	Iames the seruaut of God and of the Lorde Iesus Christ sendeth gretinge to ye .xii. trybes which are scattered here and there.
1:2	My brethren count it excedynge ioye when ye faule into divers teptacions
1:3	for as moche as ye knowe how that the tryinge of youre fayth bringeth pacience:
1:4	and let pacience have her parfect worke that ye maye be parfecte and sounde lackinge nothinge.
1:5	Yf eny of you lacke wysdome let him axe of God which geveth to all men indifferentlie and casteth no man in the teth: and it shal be geven him.
1:6	But let him axe in fayth and waver not. For he that douteth is lyke the waves of the see tost of the wynde and caried with violence.
1:7	Nether let that man thinke that he shall receave eny thinge of the Lorde.
1:8	A waveringe mynded man is vnstable in all his wayes.
1:9	Let the brother of lowe degre reioyce in yt he is exalted
1:10	and the ryche in that he is made lowe. For eve as ye flower of the grasse shall he vanysshe awaye.
1:11	The sonne ryseth with heate and the grasse wydereth and his flower falleth awaye and the beautie of the fassion of it perissheth: even so shall the ryche man perisshe with his aboundance.
1:12	Happy is the man that endureth in temptacion for when he is tryed he shall receave the croune of lyfe which the Lorde hath promysed to them that love him.
1:13	Let no man saye when he is tepted that he is tempted of God. For God tepteth not vnto evyll nether tepteth he anie ma.
1:14	But every ma is tepted drawne awaye and entysed of his awne concupiscece.
1:15	Then when lust hath coceaved she bringeth forth synne and synne whe it is fynisshed bringeth forthe deeth.
1:16	Erre not my deare brethren.
1:17	Every good gyfte and every parfayt gyft is from above and commeth doune fro the father of light with whom is no variablenes nether is he chaunged vnto darcknes.
1:18	Of his awne will begat he vs with the worde of lyfe that we shuld be the fyrst frutes of his creatures.
1:19	Wherfore deare brethren let every man be swyfte to heare slowe to speake and slowe to wrath.
1:20	For the wrath of man worketh not that which is ryghteous before God.
1:21	Wherfore laye a parte all fylthynes all superfluite of maliciousnes and receave with meknes the worde yt is grafted in you which is able to save youre soules.
1:22	And se that ye be doars of the worde and not hearers only deceavinge youre awne selves with sophistrie
1:23	For yf eny heare the worde and do it not he is lyke vnto a man that beholdeth his bodyly face in a glasse.
1:24	For assone as he hath loked on him silfe he goeth his waye and forgetteth immediatlie what his fassion was.
1:25	But who so loketh in the parfaict lawe of libertie and continueth ther in (yf he be not a forgetfull hearer but a doar of ye worke) the same shall be happie in his dede.
1:26	Yf eny man amonge you seme devoute and refrayne not his tonge: but deceave his awne herte this mannes devocion is in vayne
1:27	Pure devocion and vndefiled before God the father is this: to vysit the frendlesse and widdowes in their adversite and to kepe him silfe vnspotted of the worlde.
