rwbs - James:1

rwbs@James:1:1 @ James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes who are scattered abroad, greeting.

rwbs@James:1:2 @ My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into various temptations; (note:)temptations: or, trials(:note)

rwbs@James:1:3 @ Knowing, that the trying of your faith worketh patience.

rwbs@James:1:4 @ But let patience have perfect work, that ye may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing.

rwbs@James:1:5 @ If any of you lacketh wisdom, let him ask of God, who giveth to all liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given to him.

rwbs@James:1:6 @ But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed.

rwbs@James:1:7 @ For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing from the Lord.

rwbs@James:1:8 @ A double minded man unstable in all his ways.

rwbs@James:1:9 @ Let the brother of low degree rejoice in that he is exalted: (note:)rejoice: or, glory(:note)

rwbs@James:1:10 @ But the rich, in that he is made low: because as the flower of the grass he shall pass away.

rwbs@James:1:11 @ For the sun hath no sooner risen with a burning heat, but it withereth the grass, and its flower falleth, and the grace of its fashion perisheth: so also shall the rich man fade away in his ways.

rwbs@James:1:12 @ Blessed the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him.

rwbs@James:1:13 @ Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted by God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man: (note:)evil: or, evils(:note)

rwbs@James:1:14 @ But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away by his own lust, and enticed.

rwbs@James:1:15 @ Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.

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

rwbs@James:1:17 @ Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.

rwbs@James:1:18 @ Of his own will he hath begotten us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures.

rwbs@James:1:19 @ Therefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath:

rwbs@James:1:20 @ For the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God.

rwbs@James:1:21 @ Therefore put away all filthiness and all that remains of wickedness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls.

rwbs@James:1:22 @ But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.

rwbs@James:1:23 @ For if any is a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like a man beholding his natural face in a mirror:

rwbs@James:1:24 @ For he beholdeth himself, and goeth away, and immediately forgetteth what manner of man he was.

rwbs@James:1:25 @ But he who looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed. (note:)deed: or, doing(:note)

rwbs@James:1:26 @ If any man among you seemeth to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man’s religion vain.

rwbs@James:1:27 @ Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, to keep himself unspotted from the world.
