Salutation

1James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, To the twelve tribes in the Dispersion: Greetings.G2385G1401G2316G2532G2962G2424G5547G1427G5443G1722G1290G5463

Faith and Wisdom

2My brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of any kind, consider it nothing but joy,G3450G80G2233G3956G5479G3752G4045G4164G3986 3because you know that the testing of your faith produces endurance;G1097G3754G1383G5216G4102G2716G5281 4and let endurance have its full effect, so that you may be mature and complete, lacking in nothing.G1161G2192G5281G2192G5046G2041G2443G5600G5046G2532G3648G3007G1722G3367 5If any of you is lacking in wisdom, ask God, who gives to all generously and ungrudgingly, and it will be given you.G1161G1536G5216G3007G4678G154G3844G2316G1325G3956G574G2532G3679G3361G2532G1325G846 6But ask in faith, never doubting, for the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, driven and tossed by the wind;G1161G154G1722G4102G3367G1252G1063G1252G1503G2830G2281G416G2532G4494 7for the doubter, being double-minded and unstable in every way, must not expect to receive anything from the Lord.G1063G3633G3361G1565G444G3633G3754G2983G5100G3844G2962 8[7???? ?Բ? ???? ????]G1374G435G182G1722G3956G846G3598

Poverty and Riches

9Let the believer who is lowly boast in being raised up,G1161G2744G80G5011G2744G1722G846G5311 10and the rich in being brought low, because the rich will disappear like a flower in the field.G1161G4145G1722G846G5014G3754G5613G438G5528G3928 11For the sun rises with its scorching heat and withers the field; its flower falls, and its beauty perishes. It is the same way with the rich; in the midst of a busy life, they will wither away.G1063G2246G393G4862G2742G2532G3583G5528G2532G438G846G1601G2532G2143G4383G846G622G3779G2532G3133G4145G3133G1722G846G4197

Trial and Temptation

12Blessed is anyone who endures temptation. Such a one has stood the test and will receive the crown of life that the Lord has promised to those who love him.G3107G435G3739G5278G3986G3754G1384G1096G2983G4735G2222G3739G2962G1861G25G846 13No one, when tempted, should say, "I am being tempted by God"; for God cannot be tempted by evil and he himself tempts no one.G3004G3367G3004G3985G3754G3985G575G2316G1063G2316G551G2076G2556G1161G3985G846G3985G3762 14But one is tempted by one's own desire, being lured and enticed by it;G1161G1538G3985G1828G5259G2398G1939G2532G1185 15then, when that desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin, and that sin, when it is fully grown, gives birth to death.G1534G1939G4815G5088G266G1161G266G658G616G2288 16Do not be deceived, my beloved.G4105G3361G4105G3450G27G80 17Every generous act of giving, with every perfect gift, is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change.G3956G18G1394G2532G3956G5046G1434G2076G509G2597G575G3962G5457G3844G3739G1762G3756G3883G2228G644G5157 18In fulfillment of his own purpose he gave us birth by the word of truth, so that we would become a kind of first fruits of his creatures.G1014G616G2248G3056G225G1519G2248G1511G5100G536G846G2938

Hearing and Doing the Word

19You must understand this, my beloved: let everyone be quick to listen, slow to speak, slow to anger;G5620G3450G27G80G2077G3956G444G2077G5036G1519G191G1021G1519G2980G1021G1519G3709 20for your anger does not produce God's righteousness.G1063G3709G435G2716G3756G1343G2316 21Therefore rid yourselves of all sordidness and rank growth of wickedness, and welcome with meekness the implanted word that has the power to save your souls.G1352G659G3956G4507G2532G4050G2549G1209G1722G4240G1721G3056G3588G1410G4982G5216G5590 22But be doers of the word, and not merely hearers who deceive themselves.G1161G1096G4163G3056G2532G3361G202G3440G3884G1438 23For if any are hearers of the word and not doers, they are like those who look at themselves in a mirror;G3754G1536G2076G202G3056G2532G3756G4163G3778G1503G435G2657G846G1078G4383G1722G2072 24for they look at themselves and, on going away, immediately forget what they were like.G1063G2657G1438G2532G565G2532G2112G1950G3697G2258 25But those who look into the perfect law, the law of liberty, and persevere, being not hearers who forget but doers who act—they will be blessed in their doing.G1161G3879G1519G5046G3551G1657G2532G3887G3778G1096G3756G1953G202G235G4163G2041G3778G2071G3107G1722G846G4162 26If any think they are religious, and do not bridle their tongues but deceive their hearts, their religion is worthless.G1536G1722G5213G1380G1511G2357G5468G3361G846G1100G235G538G846G2588G5127G2356G3152 27Religion that is pure and undefiled before God, the Father, is this: to care for orphans and widows in their distress, and to keep oneself unstained by the world.G2513G2356G2532G283G3844G2316G2532G3962G2076G3778G1980G3737G2532G5503G1722G846G2347G5083G1438G784G575G2889
