dby - James:1:2-18

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.
