1James, a bondservant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, To the twelve tribes which are scattered abroad: Greetings.G2385G1401G2316G2532G2962G2424G5547G1427G5443G1722G1290G54632My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials,G3450G80G2233G3956G5479G3752G4045G4164G39863knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience.G1097G3754G1383G5216G4102G2716G52814But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing.G1161G2192G5281G2192G5046G2041G2443G5600G5046G2532G3648G3007G1722G33675If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him.G1161G1536G5216G3007G4678G154G3844G2316G1325G3956G574G2532G3679G3361G2532G1325G8466But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind.G1161G154G1722G4102G3367G1252G1063G1252G1503G2830G2281G416G2532G44947For let not that man suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord;G1063G3633G3361G1565G444G3633G3754G2983G5100G3844G29628he is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.G1374G435G182G1722G3956G846G35989Let the lowly brother glory in his exaltation,G1161G2744G80G5011G2744G1722G846G531110but the rich in his humiliation, because as a flower of the field he will pass away.G1161G4145G1722G846G5014G3754G5613G438G5528G392811For 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 also will fade away in his pursuits.G1063G2246G393G4862G2742G2532G3583G5528G2532G438G846G1601G2532G2143G4383G846G622G3779G2532G3133G4145G3133G1722G846G419712Blessed is the man who endures temptation; for when he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love Him.G3107G435G3739G5278G3986G3754G1384G1096G2983G4735G2222G3739G2962G1861G25G84613Let no one say when he is tempted, "I am tempted by God"; for God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does He Himself tempt anyone.G3004G3367G3004G3985G3754G3985G575G2316G1063G2316G551G2076G2556G1161G3985G846G3985G376214But each one is tempted when he is drawn away by his own desires and enticed.G1161G1538G3985G1828G5259G2398G1939G2532G118515Then, when desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, brings forth death.G1534G1939G4815G5088G266G1161G266G658G616G228816Do not be deceived, my beloved brethren.G4105G3361G4105G3450G27G8017Every 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.G3956G18G1394G2532G3956G5046G1434G2076G509G2597G575G3962G5457G3844G3739G1762G3756G3883G2228G644G515718Of His own will He brought us forth by the word of truth, that we might be a kind of firstfruits of His creatures.G1014G616G2248G3056G225G1519G2248G1511G5100G536G846G293819So then, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath;G5620G3450G27G80G2077G3956G444G2077G5036G1519G191G1021G1519G2980G1021G1519G370920for the wrath of man does not produce the righteousness of God.G1063G3709G435G2716G3756G1343G231621Therefore lay aside all filthiness and overflow of wickedness, and receive with meekness the implanted word, which is able to save your souls.G1352G659G3956G4507G2532G4050G2549G1209G1722G4240G1721G3056G3588G1410G4982G5216G559022But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.G1161G1096G4163G3056G2532G3361G202G3440G3884G143823For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man observing his natural face in a mirror;G3754G1536G2076G202G3056G2532G3756G4163G3778G1503G435G2657G846G1078G4383G1722G207224for he observes himself, goes away, and immediately forgets what kind of man he was.G1063G2657G1438G2532G565G2532G2112G1950G3697G225825But 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.G1161G3879G1519G5046G3551G1657G2532G3887G3778G1096G3756G1953G202G235G4163G2041G3778G2071G3107G1722G846G416226If anyone among you thinks he is religious, and does not bridle his tongue but deceives his own heart, this one's religion is useless.G1536G1722G5213G1380G1511G2357G5468G3361G846G1100G235G538G846G2588G5127G2356G315227Pure and undefiled religion before God and the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their trouble, and to keep oneself unspotted from the world.G2513G2356G2532G283G3844G2316G2532G3962G2076G3778G1980G3737G2532G5503G1722G846G2347G5083G1438G784G575G2889
