James 1
New International Version (1984) Help
1James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, To the twelve tribes scattered among the nations: Greetings.G2385G1401G2316G2532G2962G2424G5547G1427G5443G1722G1290G5463
2Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds,G3450G80G2233G3956G5479G3752G4045G4164G3986
3because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance.G1097G3754G1383G5216G4102G2716G5281
4Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.G1161G2192G5281G2192G5046G2041G2443G5600G5046G2532G3648G3007G1722G3367
5If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him.G1161G1536G5216G3007G4678G154G3844G2316G1325G3956G574G2532G3679G3361G2532G1325G846
6But when he asks, he must believe and not doubt, because he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind.G1161G154G1722G4102G3367G1252G1063G1252G1503G2830G2281G416G2532G4494
7That man should not think he will receive anything from the Lord;G1063G3633G3361G1565G444G3633G3754G2983G5100G3844G2962
8he is a double-minded man, unstable in all he does.G1374G435G182G1722G3956G846G3598
9The brother in humble circumstances ought to take pride in his high position.G1161G2744G80G5011G2744G1722G846G5311
10But the one who is rich should take pride in his low position, because he will pass away like a wild flower.G1161G4145G1722G846G5014G3754G5613G438G5528G3928
11For the sun rises with scorching heat and withers the plant; its blossom falls and its beauty is destroyed. In the same way, the rich man will fade away even while he goes about his business.G1063G2246G393G4862G2742G2532G3583G5528G2532G438G846G1601G2532G2143G4383G846G622G3779G2532G3133G4145G3133G1722G846G4197
12Blessed is the man who perseveres under trial, because when he has stood the test, he will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love him.G3107G435G3739G5278G3986G3754G1384G1096G2983G4735G2222G3739G2962G1861G25G846
13When tempted, no one should say, "God is tempting me." For God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does he tempt anyone;G3004G3367G3004G3985G3754G3985G575G2316G1063G2316G551G2076G2556G1161G3985G846G3985G3762
14but each one is tempted when, by his own evil desire, he is dragged away and enticed.G1161G1538G3985G1828G5259G2398G1939G2532G1185
15Then, after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, gives birth to death.G1534G1939G4815G5088G266G1161G266G658G616G2288
16Don't be deceived, my dear brothers.G4105G3361G4105G3450G27G80
17Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows.G3956G18G1394G2532G3956G5046G1434G2076G509G2597G575G3962G5457G3844G3739G1762G3756G3883G2228G644G5157
18He chose to give us birth through the word of truth, that we might be a kind of firstfruits of all he created.G1014G616G2248G3056G225G1519G2248G1511G5100G536G846G2938
19My dear brothers, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry,G5620G3450G27G80G2077G3956G444G2077G5036G1519G191G1021G1519G2980G1021G1519G3709
20for man's anger does not bring about the righteous life that God desires.G1063G3709G435G2716G3756G1343G2316
21Therefore, get rid of all moral filth and the evil that is so prevalent and humbly accept the word planted in you, which can save you.G1352G659G3956G4507G2532G4050G2549G1209G1722G4240G1721G3056G3588G1410G4982G5216G5590
22Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says.G1161G1096G4163G3056G2532G3361G202G3440G3884G1438
23Anyone who listens to the word but does not do what it says is like a man who looks at his face in a mirrorG3754G1536G2076G202G3056G2532G3756G4163G3778G1503G435G2657G846G1078G4383G1722G2072
24and, after looking at himself, goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like.G1063G2657G1438G2532G565G2532G2112G1950G3697G2258
25But the man who looks intently into the perfect law that gives freedom, and continues to do this, not forgetting what he has heard, but doing it--he will be blessed in what he does.G1161G3879G1519G5046G3551G1657G2532G3887G3778G1096G3756G1953G202G235G4163G2041G3778G2071G3107G1722G846G4162
26If anyone considers himself religious and yet does not keep a tight rein on his tongue, he deceives himself and his religion is worthless.G1536G1722G5213G1380G1511G2357G5468G3361G846G1100G235G538G846G2588G5127G2356G3152
27Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.G2513G2356G2532G283G3844G2316G2532G3962G2076G3778G1980G3737G2532G5503G1722G846G2347G5083G1438G784G575G2889
