James - Chapter: 1


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 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	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.
