gltv - James:1-2

gltv@James:1:1 @ James, a slave of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes in the Dispersion, greeting:

gltv@James:1:2 @ My brothers count it all joy when you fall into various trials,

gltv@James:1:3 @ knowing that the proving of your faith works patience.

gltv@James:1:4 @ But let patience have its perfective work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing.

gltv@James:1:5 @ But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask from God, who gives to all freely and with no reproach, and it will be given to Him.

gltv@James:1:6 @ But let him ask in faith, doubting nothing. For the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, being driven by wind and being tossed;

gltv@James:1:7 @ for do not let that man suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord;

gltv@James:1:8 @ he is a double-souled man, not dependable in all his ways.

gltv@James:1:9 @ But let the lowly brother rejoice in his lifting up;

gltv@James:1:10 @ and the rich one rejoice in his humiliation, because he will pass away like the flower of the grass.

gltv@James:1:11 @ For the sun rose with the hot wind and dried up the grass, and its flower fell out, and the beauty of its appearance perished; so also the rich one will fade away in his ways. Isaiah. strkjv@40:6, 7

gltv@James:1:12 @ Blessed is the man who endures temptation, because having been approved he will receive the crown of life which the Lord promised to the ones loving Him.

gltv@James:1:13 @ Let no one being tempted say, I am tempted from God. For God is not tempted by evils, and He tempts no one.

gltv@James:1:14 @ But each one is tempted by his own lusts, having been drawn out and having been seduced by them.

gltv@James:1:15 @ Then being conceived, lust brings forth sin. And sin being fully formed brings forth death.

gltv@James:1:16 @ Do not go astray, my beloved brothers,

gltv@James:1:17 @ every act of good giving and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom is no change or shadow of turning.

gltv@James:1:18 @ Having purposed, He brought us forth by the word of truth, for us to be a certain firstfruit of His creatures.

gltv@James:1:19 @ So that, my beloved brothers, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath.

gltv@James:1:20 @ For the wrath of man does not work out the righteousness of God.

gltv@James:1:21 @ On account of this, having put aside all filthiness and overflowing of evil, in meekness receive the implanted Word being able to save your souls.

gltv@James:1:22 @ But become doers of the Word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.

gltv@James:1:23 @ Because if anyone is a hearer of the Word, and not a doer, this one is like a man studying his natural face in a mirror;

gltv@James:1:24 @ for he studied himself, and has gone away, and immediately he forgot of what kind he was.

gltv@James:1:25 @ But the one looking into the perfect law of liberty, and continuing in it, this one not having become a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this one will be blessed in his doing.

gltv@James:1:26 @ If anyone thinks to be religious among you, yet not bridling his tongue, but deceiving his heart, this one's religion is vain.

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

gltv@James:2:1 @ My brothers, do not with respect of persons have the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory.

gltv@James:2:2 @ For if a gold-fingered man in splendid clothing comes into your synagogue, and a poor one in shabby clothing also comes in;

gltv@James:2:3 @ and you look on the one wearing the splendid clothing, and say to him, You sit here comfortably; and to the poor one you say, You stand there, or, Sit here under my footstool;

gltv@James:2:4 @ did you not also make a difference among yourselves and become judges with evil thoughts?

gltv@James:2:5 @ Hear, my beloved brothers, did not God choose the poor of this world to be rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which He promised to the ones loving Him?

gltv@James:2:6 @ But you dishonored the poor one. Do not the rich ones oppress you, and they drag you to judgment seats?

gltv@James:2:7 @ Do they not blaspheme the good Name called on you?

gltv@James:2:8 @ If you truly fulfill the royal law according to the Scripture, "You shall love your neighbor as yourself," you do well. Leviticus. strkjv@19:18

gltv@James:2:9 @ But if you have partiality to persons, you work sin, having been found guilty as transgressors by the law.

gltv@James:2:10 @ For whoever shall keep all the law, but stumbles in one, he has become guilty of all.

gltv@James:2:11 @ For He who said, "You shall not commit adultery," also said, "You shall not murder." Ex. strkjv@20:14, 13; Deuteronomy. strkjv@5:18, 17 But if you do not commit adultery, but commit murder, you have become a transgressor of the law.

gltv@James:2:12 @ So speak and so do as being about to be judged by the law of liberty.

gltv@James:2:13 @ For judgment will be without mercy to the one not doing mercy. And mercy rejoices over judgment.

gltv@James:2:14 @ My brothers, what is the gain if anyone says he has faith, but he does not have works? Is faith able to save him?

gltv@James:2:15 @ But if a brother or a sister is naked and may be lacking in daily food,

gltv@James:2:16 @ and any one of you say to them, Go in peace, be warmed and filled, but does not give them the things the body needs, what gain is it?

gltv@James:2:17 @ So also faith, if it does not have works, is dead being by itself.

gltv@James:2:18 @ But someone will say, You have faith, and I have works. Show me your faith apart from your works, and I will show you my faith out of my works.

gltv@James:2:19 @ You believe that God is one. You do well; even the demons believe and shudder.

gltv@James:2:20 @ But are you willing to know, O vain man, that faith apart from works is dead?

gltv@James:2:21 @ Was not our father Abraham justified by works offering up his son Isaac on the altar? Genesis. strkjv@22:9

gltv@James:2:22 @ You see that faith worked with his works; and out of the works the faith was made perfected.

gltv@James:2:23 @ And the Scripture was fulfilled, saying, "And Abraham believed God, and it was counted for righteousness to him;" and he was called, Friend of God. Genesis. strkjv@15:6; Isaiah. strkjv@41:8

gltv@James:2:24 @ You see, then, that a man is justified out of works, and not out of faith only.

gltv@James:2:25 @ But in the same way Rahab the harlot was also justified out of works, having received the messengers, and sending them out by another way.

gltv@James:2:26 @ For as the body is dead apart from the spirit, so also faith is dead apart from works.

gltv@James:3:1 @ My brothers do not be many teachers, knowing that we will receive greater judgment.
