James - Chapter: 1


1:1	Iames the seruaunte of God and of the Lorde Iesus Christ sendeth gretyng to the twelue trybes whiche are scattered here and there.
1:2	My brethren, count it excedyng ioye when ye fal into dyuers temptacyons,
1:3	for as muche as ye knowe howe that the triynge of youre fayth bryngeth pacience:
1:4	and let pacyence haue her perfect worke, that ye maye be perfecte and sounde, lackynge nothynge.
1:5	Yf anye of you lacke wysedome, let hym axe of God whiche geueth to all men indyfferentlye, and casteth no man in the teath: and it shal be geuen hym.
1:6	But let hym axe it in faith and wauer not. For he that doubteth is lyke the waues of the sea, toste of the wyndes & caried wyth vyolence.
1:7	Neyther let that man thynke that he shal receyue any thynge of the Lorde.
1:8	A waueryng mynded man is vnstable in all hys wayes.
1:9	Let the brother of low degre reioyce in that he is exalted,
1:10	and the ryche in that he is made lowe. For euen as the flower of the grasse, shal he vanysh away.
1:11	The sonne riseth with heat, and the grasse widereth, and hys flower falleth awaye, & the beautye of the fashyon of it perysheth: euen so shal the ryche man peryshe wyth hys aboundaunce.
1:12	Happy is the man that endureth in temptacyon, for when he is tryed, he shal receyue the croune of lyfe, which the Lorde hath promised to them that loue hym.
1:13	Let no man saye when he is tempted, that he is tempted of God. For god tempteth not vnto euyl, neyther tempteth he any man:
1:14	But euerye man is tempted, drawne awaye, & entysed of hys owne concupiscence.
1:15	Then when luste hath conceyued, she bringeth forth sinne, & sinne when it is fynyshed bryngeth forthe death.
1:16	Erre not my deare brethren.
1:17	Euery good gyfte, and euerye perfecte gyfte, is from aboue and commeth doune from the father of lyght wyth whome is no varyablenes, neyther is he chaunged vnto darkenes.
1:18	Of hys owne wyll begat he vs wyth the worde of lyfe, that we shoulde be the fyrste frutes of hys creatures.
1:19	Wherfore deare brethren, let euerye man be swyfte to heare, slowe to speake, and slow to wrath.
1:20	For the wrath of man worketh not that whiche is ryghtuous before God.
1:21	Wherfore laye a parte all fylthynes, all superfluytye of malycyousnes, and receyue wyth mekenes the worde that is grafted in you, whiche is able to saue your soules.
1:22	And se that ye be doars of the worde & not hearers onely, deceyuyng your owne selues wyth sophystrye.
1:23	For yf any heare the word, and do it not, he is lyke vnto a man that beholdeth his bodly face in a glasse.
1:24	For assone as he hath loked on hym selfe, he goeth hys waye, and forgetteth immediatly what hys fashyon was.
1:25	But who so loketh in the perfecte lawe of lybertye, and contynueth therin (yf he be not a forgetfull hearer, but a doar of the worke) the same shall be happye in hys dede.
1:26	Yf anye man amonge you seme deuoute, & refrayne not his tonge, but deceyue his owne hert: thys mannes deuocyon is in vayne.
1:27	Pure deuocyon and vndefyled before God the father is thys: to visite the fatherlesse and wyddowes in theyr aduersitye, and to kepe hym selfe vnspotted of the worlde.


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 a seruant of God, and of the Lord Iesus Christ, to the twelue Tribes which are scattered abroad, greeting.
1:2	My brethren, count it all ioy when ye fall into diuers temptations,
1:3	Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience,
1:4	But let patience haue her perfect worke, that ye may be perfect, and entier, wanting nothing.
1:5	If any of you lacke wisedome, let him aske of God, that giueth to all men liberally, and vpbraideth not: and it shalbe giuen him.
1:6	But let him aske in faith, nothing wauering: for he that wauereth is like a waue of the sea, driuen with the wind, and tossed.
1:7	For let not that man thinke that he shall receiue any thing of the Lord.
1:8	A double minded man is vnstable in all his wayes.
1:9	Let the brother of low degree, reioyce in that he is exalted:
1:10	But the rich, in that hee is made low: because as the floure of the grasse he shall passe away.
1:11	For the Sunne is no sooner risen with a burning heate, but it withereth the grasse; and the flowre thereof falleth, and the grace of the fashion of it perisheth: so also shall the rich man fade away in his wayes.
1:12	Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when hee 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 he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with euill, neither tempteth he any man.
1:14	But euery man is tempted, when hee is drawen away of his owne lust, and entised.
1:15	Then when lust hath conceiued, it bringeth forth sinne: and sinne, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.
1:16	Doe not erre, my beloued brethren.
1:17	Euery good gift, and euery perfect gift is from aboue, & commeth downe from the Father of lights, with whom is no variablenesse, neither shadow of turning.
1:18	Of his owne will begate hee vs, with the word of Trueth, that wee should bee a kinde of first fruites of his creatures.
1:19	Wherefore my beloued brethren, let euery man bee swift to heare, slow to speake, slow to wrath.
1:20	For the wrath of man worketh not the righteousnesse of God.
1:21	Wherefore lay apart all filthinesse, and superfluitie of naughtinesse, & receiue with meeknesse the engrafted word, which is able to saue your soules.
1:22	But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers onely, receiuing your owne selues.
1:23	For if any be a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like vnto a man beholding his naturall face in a glasse:
1:24	For hee beholdeth himselfe, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what maner of man he was.
1:25	But who so looketh into the perfect Law of libertie, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetfull hearer, but a doer of the worke, this man shall be blessed in his deed.
1:26	If any man among you seeme to be religious, & bridleth not his tongue, but deceiueth his owne heart, this mans religion is vaine.
1:27	Pure religion and vndefiled before God and the Father, is this, to visit the fatherlesse and widowes in their affliction, and to keepe himselfe vnspotted from the world.
