1James, a bond-servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes who are dispersed abroad, greetings.G2385G1401G2316G2532G2962G2424G5547G1427G5443G1722G1290G54632Consider it all joy, my brethren, when you encounter various trials,G3450G80G2233G3956G5479G3752G4045G4164G39863knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance.G1097G3754G1383G5216G4102G2716G52814And let endurance have [its] perfect result, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.G1161G2192G5281G2192G5046G2041G2443G5600G5046G2532G3648G3007G1722G33675But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all men generously and without reproach, and it will be given to him.G1161G1536G5216G3007G4678G154G3844G2316G1325G3956G574G2532G3679G3361G2532G1325G8466But let him ask in faith without any doubting, for the one who doubts is like the surf of the sea driven and tossed by the wind.G1161G154G1722G4102G3367G1252G1063G1252G1503G2830G2281G416G2532G44947For let not that man expect that he will receive anything from the Lord,G1063G3633G3361G1565G444G3633G3754G2983G5100G3844G29628[being] a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.G1374G435G182G1722G3956G846G35989But let the brother of humble circumstances glory in his high position;G1161G2744G80G5011G2744G1722G846G531110and [let] the rich man [glory] in his humiliation, because like flowering grass he will pass away.G1161G4145G1722G846G5014G3754G5613G438G5528G392811For the sun rises with a scorching wind, and withers the grass; and its flower falls off, and the beauty of its appearance is destroyed; so too the rich man in the midst of his pursuits will fade away.G1063G2246G393G4862G2742G2532G3583G5528G2532G438G846G1601G2532G2143G4383G846G622G3779G2532G3133G4145G3133G1722G846G419712Blessed is a man who perseveres under trial; for once 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 being tempted by God"; for God cannot be tempted by evil, and He Himself does not tempt anyone.G3004G3367G3004G3985G3754G3985G575G2316G1063G2316G551G2076G2556G1161G3985G846G3985G376214But each one is tempted when he is carried away and enticed by his own lust.G1161G1538G3985G1828G5259G2398G1939G2532G118515Then when lust has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and when sin is accomplished, it brings forth death.G1534G1939G4815G5088G266G1161G266G658G616G228816Do not be deceived, my beloved brethren.G4105G3361G4105G3450G27G8017Every good thing bestowed and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation, or shifting shadow.G3956G18G1394G2532G3956G5046G1434G2076G509G2597G575G3962G5457G3844G3739G1762G3756G3883G2228G644G515718In the exercise of His will He brought us forth by the word of truth, so that we might be, as it were, the first fruits among His creatures.G1014G616G2248G3056G225G1519G2248G1511G5100G536G846G293819[This] you know, my beloved brethren. But let everyone be quick to hear, slow to speak [and] slow to anger;G5620G3450G27G80G2077G3956G444G2077G5036G1519G191G1021G1519G2980G1021G1519G370920for the anger of man does not achieve the righteousness of God.G1063G3709G435G2716G3756G1343G231621Therefore putting aside all filthiness and [all] that remains of wickedness, in humility receive the word implanted, which is able to save your souls.G1352G659G3956G4507G2532G4050G2549G1209G1722G4240G1721G3056G3588G1410G4982G5216G559022But prove yourselves doers of the word, and not merely hearers who delude themselves.G1161G1096G4163G3056G2532G3361G202G3440G3884G143823For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man who looks at his natural face in a mirror;G3754G1536G2076G202G3056G2532G3756G4163G3778G1503G435G2657G846G1078G4383G1722G207224for [once] he has looked at himself and gone away, he has immediately forgotten what kind of person he was.G1063G2657G1438G2532G565G2532G2112G1950G3697G225825But one who looks intently at the perfect law, the [law] of liberty, and abides by it, not having become a forgetful hearer but an effectual doer, this man shall be blessed in what he does.G1161G3879G1519G5046G3551G1657G2532G3887G3778G1096G3756G1953G202G235G4163G2041G3778G2071G3107G1722G846G416226If anyone thinks himself to be religious, and yet does not bridle his tongue but deceives his [own] heart, this man's religion is worthless.G1536G1722G5213G1380G1511G2357G5468G3361G846G1100G235G538G846G2588G5127G2356G315227This is pure and undefiled religion in the sight of [our] God and Father, to visit orphans and widows in their distress, [and] to keep oneself unstained by the world.G2513G2356G2532G283G3844G2316G2532G3962G2076G3778G1980G3737G2532G5503G1722G846G2347G5083G1438G784G575G2889
