James - Chapter: 1


1:1	James, of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ a servant, to the Twelve Tribes who are in the dispersion: Hail!
1:2	All joy count `it', my brethren, when ye may fall into temptations manifold;
1:3	knowing that the proof of your faith doth work endurance,
1:4	and let the endurance have a perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire -- in nothing lacking;
1:5	and if any of you do lack wisdom, let him ask from God, who is giving to all liberally, and not reproaching, and it shall be given to him;
1:6	and let him ask in faith, nothing doubting, for he who is doubting hath been like a wave of the sea, driven by wind and tossed,
1:7	for let not that man suppose that he shall receive anything from the Lord --
1:8	a two-souled man `is' unstable in all his ways.
1:9	And let the brother who is low rejoice in his exaltation,
1:10	and the rich in his becoming low, because as a flower of grass he shall pass away;
1:11	for the sun did rise with the burning heat, and did wither the grass, and the flower of it fell, and the grace of its appearance did perish, so also the rich in his way shall fade away!
1:12	Happy the man who doth endure temptation, because, becoming approved, he shall receive the crown of the life, which the Lord did promise to those loving Him.
1:13	Let no one say, being tempted -- `From God I am tempted,' for God is not tempted of evil, and Himself doth tempt no one,
1:14	and each one is tempted, by his own desires being led away and enticed,
1:15	afterward the desire having conceived, doth give birth to sin, and the sin having been perfected, doth bring forth death.
1:16	Be not led astray, my brethren beloved;
1:17	every good giving, and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the lights, with whom is no variation, or shadow of turning;
1:18	having counselled, He did beget us with a word of truth, for our being a certain first-fruit of His creatures.
1:19	So then, my brethren beloved, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger,
1:20	for the wrath of a man the righteousness of God doth not work;
1:21	wherefore having put aside all filthiness and superabundance of evil, in meekness be receiving the engrafted word, that is able to save your souls;
1:22	and become ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves,
1:23	because, if any one is a hearer of the word and not a doer, this one hath been like to a man viewing his natural face in a mirror,
1:24	for he did view himself, and hath gone away, and immediately he did forget of what kind he was;
1:25	and he who did look into the perfect law -- that of liberty, and did continue there, this one -- not a forgetful hearer becoming, but a doer of work -- this one shall be happy in his doing.
1:26	If any one doth think to be religious among you, not bridling his tongue, but deceiving his heart, of this one vain `is' the religion;
1:27	religion pure and undefiled with the God and Father is this, to look after orphans and widows in their tribulation -- unspotted to keep himself from 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.


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.
