James 1




dby@James:1:1 @ James, bondman of God and of [the] Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which [are] in the dispersion, greeting.

dby@James:1:2 @ Count it all joy, my brethren, when ye fall into various temptations,

dby@James:1:3 @ knowing that the proving of your faith works endurance.

dby@James:1:4 @ But let endurance have [its] perfect work, that ye may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.

dby@James:1:5 @ But if any one of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all freely and reproaches not, and it shall be given to him:

dby@James:1:6 @ but let him ask in faith, nothing doubting. For he that doubts is like a wave of the sea driven by the wind and tossed about;

dby@James:1:7 @ for let not that man think that he shall receive anything from the Lord;

dby@James:1:8 @ [he is] a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.

dby@James:1:9 @ But let the brother of low degree glory in his elevation,

dby@James:1:10 @ and the rich in his humiliation, because as [the] grass's flower he will pass away.

dby@James:1:11 @ For the sun has risen with its burning heat, and has withered the grass, and its flower has fallen, and the comeliness of its look has perished: thus the rich also shall wither in his goings.

dby@James:1:12 @ Blessed [is the] man who endures temptation; for, having been proved, he shall receive the crown of life, which He has promised to them that love him.

dby@James:1:13 @ Let no man, being tempted, say, I am tempted of God. For God cannot be tempted by evil things, and himself tempts no one.

dby@James:1:14 @ But every one is tempted, drawn away, and enticed by his own lust;

dby@James:1:15 @ then lust, having conceived, gives birth to sin; but sin fully completed brings forth death.

dby@James:1:16 @ Do not err, my beloved brethren.

dby@James:1:17 @ Every good gift and every perfect gift comes down from above, from the Father of lights, with whom is no variation nor shadow of turning.

dby@James:1:18 @ According to his own will begat he us by the word of truth, that we should be a certain first-fruits of his creatures.

dby@James:1:19 @ So that, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath;

dby@James:1:20 @ for man's wrath does not work God's righteousness.

dby@James:1:21 @ Wherefore, laying aside all filthiness and abounding of wickedness, accept with meekness the implanted word, which is able to save your souls.

dby@James:1:22 @ But be ye doers of [the] word and not hearers only, beguiling yourselves.

dby@James:1:23 @ For if any man be a hearer of [the] word and not a doer, he is like to a man considering his natural face in a mirror:

dby@James:1:24 @ for he has considered himself and is gone away, and straightway he has forgotten what he was like.

dby@James:1:25 @ But he that fixes his view on [the] perfect law, that of liberty, and abides in [it], being not a forgetful hearer but a doer of [the] work, he shall be blessed in his doing.

dby@James:1:26 @ If any one think himself to be religious, not bridling his tongue, but deceiving his heart, this man's religion is vain.

dby@James:1:27 @ Pure and undefiled religion before God and the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their affliction, to keep oneself unspotted from the world.
