James - Chapter: 1


1:1	Iames the seruaunt of God & of the Lorde Iesus Christ, sendeth gretyng to the twelue trybes which are scattered abroade.
1:2	My brethren, count it for an excedyng ioye, when ye fall into diuers temptacyons:
1:3	knowyng this, that the trying of your fayth gendreth pacience:
1:4	and let pacience haue her parfect worke, that ye maye be parfecte and sounde, lackyng nothyng.
1:5	If eny of you lacke wysdome, let hym aske of him that geueth it: euen God, which geueth to all men indifferentlye, and casteth no man in the teeth: and it shalbe geuen him.
1:6	But let him aske in fayth, and wauer not, For he that douteth, is lyke a waue of the see, which is tost of the wyndes and caryed with violence.
1:7	Nether let that man thinke, that he shall receaue eny thing of the Lorde.
1:8	A wauerynng mynded man, is vnstable in all his wayes.
1:9	Let the brother which is of lowe degre reioyce whan he is exalted.
1:10	Agayne: let hym that is riche, reioyce whan he is made lowe. For euen as the flower of the grasse, shall he passe awaye.
1:11	For as the sonne ryseth with heat, & the grasse wydereth, & hys flower falleth awaye, and the beautie of the fassyon of it perissheth: euen so shall the rich man perisshe in his wayes.
1:12	Happy is the man that endureth temptacyon: for when he is tryed, he shall receaue the crowne of lyfe, which the Lorde hath promysed to them that loue hym.
1:13	Let no man saye when he is tempted, that he is tempted of God, for as God can not be tempted with euill, so nether he hymselfe tempt the eny man.
1:14	But euery man is tempted, whan he is drawne awaye, & entysed of hys awne concupiscence.
1:15	Then, when lust hath conceaued, she bryngeth forth synne: & synne when it is finisshed, bryngeth forth deeth.
1:16	Do not erre my deare brethren,
1:17	Euery good gyfte, and euery parfayt gyft, is from aboue, and commeth downe from the father of lyghtes wt whome is no variablenes, nether is he chaunged vnto darcknes.
1:18	Of hys awne wyll begat he vs with the worde of trueth, that we shulde be the fyrst frutes of hys creatures.
1:19	Wherfore (deare brethren) let euery man be swyfte to heare, slowe to speake, 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 & superfluyte of maliciousnes, and receaue wt meknes, the worde that is graffed in you, which is able to saue your soules.
1:22	And se that ye be doars of the worde & not hearers onely, deceauing your awne selues.
1:23	For yf eny man heare the worde and declareth not the same by his workes, he is lyke vnto a man beholding his bodely face in a glasse.
1:24	For assone as he hath loked on hym selfe, he goeth his waye, & forgetteth immediatly what hys fassyon was.
1:25	But who so loketh in the parfayt lawe of libertye, and contynueth therin (yf he be not a forget full hearer, but a doar of the worke) the same shalbe happye in his dede.
1:26	If eny man among you seme to be deuoute &, refrayneth not hys tong, but deceaueth hys awne hert, thys mannes deuocyon is in vayne.
1:27	Pure deuocyon and vndefyled before God the father, is this: to visyt the fatherlesse & widdowes in theyr aduersyte, & to kepe him selfe vnspotted of the worlde.


1:1	James, the seruaunt of God, and of oure Lord Jhesu Crist, to the twelue kinredis, that ben in scatering abrood, helthe.
1:2	My britheren, deme ye al ioye, whanne ye fallen in to diuerse temptaciouns, witynge,
1:3	that the preuyng of youre feith worchith pacience;
1:4	and pacience hath a perfit werk, that ye be perfit and hole, and faile in no thing.
1:5	And if ony of you nedith wisdom, axe he of God, which yyueth to alle men largeli, and vpbreidith not; and it schal be youun to hym.
1:6	But axe he in feith, and doute no thing; for he that doutith, is lijk to a wawe of the see, which is moued and borun a boute of wynde.
1:7	Therfor gesse not the ilke man, that he schal take ony thing of the Lord.
1:8	A man dowble in soule is vnstable in alle hise weies.
1:9	And a meke brother haue glorie in his enhaunsyng,
1:10	and a riche man in his lownesse; for as the flour of gras he schal passe.
1:11	The sunne roos vp with heete, and driede the gras, and the flour of it felde doun, and the fairnesse of his chere perischide; and so a riche man welewith in hise weies.
1:12	Blessid is the man, that suffrith temptacioun; for whanne he schal be preued, he schal resseyue the coroun of lijf, which God biheyte to men that louen hym.
1:13	No man whanne he is temptid, seie, that he is temptid of God; for whi God is not a temptere of yuele thingis, for he temptith no man.
1:14	But ech man is temptid, drawun and stirid of his owne coueiting.
1:15	Aftirward coueityng, whanne it hath conseyued, bringith forth synne; but synne, whanne it is fillid, gendrith deth.
1:16	Therfor, my most dereworthe britheren, nyle ye erre.
1:17	Ech good yifte, and ech perfit yifte is from aboue, and cometh doun fro the fadir of liytis, anentis whom is noon other chaungyng, ne ouerschadewyng of reward.
1:18	For wilfulli he bigat vs bi the word of treuthe, that we be a bigynnyng of his creature.
1:19	Wite ye, my britheren moost loued, be ech man swift to here, but slow to speke, and slow to wraththe;
1:20	for the wraththe of man worchith not the riytwisnesse of God.
1:21	For which thing caste ye awei al vnclennesse, and plentee of malice, and in myldenesse resseyue ye the word that is plauntid, that may saue youre soulis.
1:22	But be ye doeris of the word, and not hereris oneli, disseiuynge you silf.
1:23	For if ony man is an herere of the word, and not a doere, this schal be licned to a man that biholdith the cheer of his birthe in a mirour;
1:24	for he bihelde hym silf, and wente awei, and anoon he foryat which he was.
1:25	But he that biholdith in the lawe of perfit fredom, and dwellith in it, and is not maad a foryetful herere, but a doere of werk, this schal be blessid in his dede.
1:26	And if ony man gessith hym silf to be religiouse, and refreyneth not his tunge, but disseyueth his herte, the religioun of him is veyn.
1:27	A clene religioun, and an vnwemmed anentis God and the fadir, is this, to visite fadirles and modirles children, and widewis in her tribulacioun, and to kepe hym silf vndefoulid fro this world.


1:1	Iames the seruaunt of God and of the LORDE Iesus Christ, sendeth gretinge to the xij. trybes which are scatered here & there.
1:2	My brethren, counte it exceadynge ioye whe ye fall in to diuers temptacions,
1:3	for as moche as ye knowe, how yt the tryinge of youre faith bringeth pacience:
1:4	and let pacience haue her parfect worke, yt ye maye be parfecte aud sounde, lakinge nothinge.
1:5	Yf eny of you lacke wyssdome, let him axe of God, which geueth to all men indifferentlie, and casteth no man in the teth: and it shal be geue him.
1:6	But let him axe in faith and wauer not. For he that douteth, is lyke the wawes of ye See, tost of the wynde, and caried wt violence.
1:7	Nether let yt man thinke that he shal receaue eny thige of ye LORDE.
1:8	A wauerynge mynded ma ys vnstable in all his waies.
1:9	Let the brother of lowe degre reioyce, in yt he is exalted:
1:10	and the rich, in yt he is made lowe. For eue as the flor of ye grasse shal he vanyshe awaye.
1:11	The Sonne ryseth wt heat and the grasse wydereth, & his floure falleth awaye, and the beautie of the fassion of it perissheth: euen so shal the ryche man perisshe with his abundaunce.
1:12	Happy is the man that endureth in teptacion, for when he is tryed, he shal receaue the crowne of life, which the LORDE hath promised to them that loue him.
1:13	Let no man saye when he is tempted, yt he is tempted of God. For God tepteth not vnto euell, nether tepteth he eny man.
1:14	But euery ma is tepted, drawne awaye, & entysed of his awne cocupiscece.
1:15	The whe lust hath conceaued, she bringeth forth synne, & synne when it is fynished, bringeth forth deeth.
1:16	Erre not my deare brethre.
1:17	Euery good gifte, & euery parfait gift, is from aboue, and cometh downe from ye 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 life, that we shulde be the fyrst frutes of his creatures.
1:19	Wherfore deare brethren, let euery man be swifte to heare, slowe to speake, and slowe to wrath.
1:20	For the wrath of ma worketh not that which is righteous before God.
1:21	Wherfore laye aparte all fylthines, all superfluite of maliciousnes, & receaue with meknes ye worde yt is grafted in you, which is able to saue youre soules.
1:22	And se that ye be doers of ye worde & not heares only, deceauinge youre awne selues.
1:23	For yf eny heare the worde, and do it not, he is like vnto a ma that beholdeth his bodily face in a glasse.
1:24	For assone as he hath loked on himselfe, he goeth his waye, and forgetteth immediatly what his fasshion was.
1:25	But who so loketh in ye perfect lawe of libertie, and continueth therin (yf he be not a forgetfull hearer, but a doar of the worke) the same shalbe happie in his dede.
1:26	Yf eny man amonge you seme deuoute, & refrayne not his toge: but deceaue his awne herte, this mannes deuocion is in vayne.
1:27	Pure deuocion and vndefiled before God the father, is this: to visit the frendlesse and widdowes in their aduersite, and to kepe him selfe vnspotted of the worlde.
