orthjbc@James:1:1 @ Ya'akov, eved (note:)servant(:note) of Hashem and of Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Adoneinu Yehoshua; To the Shneym Asar haShevatim Twelve Tribes in the Golus, Shalom! [Devarim strkjv@32:26] EMUNAH AND CHOCHMAH

orthjbc@James:1:2 @ Consider it all simcha, my Achim b'Moshiach, whenever you fall into various nisayonot (note:)tests, trials(:note).

orthjbc@James:1:3 @ because you have da'as that the emunah you have, when it is tested, produces savlanut (note:)patient endurance(:note).

orthjbc@James:1:4 @ And let savlanut be shleimah in its po'al (note:)work(:note) al menat in order that you may be mevugarim mature, grown up and complete, lacking in nothing.

orthjbc@James:1:5 @ But if anyone of you is lacking chochmah (note:)wisdom(:note), let him direct tefillah prayer and techinotot petitions to Hashem, the One whose matanot gifts are given generously and without grudging. And chochmah will be given to him. [Melachim Alef strkjv@3:9,10; Mishle strkjv@2:3-6; Tehillim strkjv@51:6; Daniel strkjv@1:17; strkjv@2:21]

orthjbc@James:1:6 @ But let the tefillah be offered with much bittachon in emunah (note:)faith(:note), in no way doubting. AD MATAY ATEM POSKHIM AL SHTEY HAS'IFIM? [MELACHIM ALEF strkjv@18:21] For the doubtful man, wavering in emunah, is like a wave of the yam sea being tossed by the wind.

orthjbc@James:1:7 @ Let not such a one presume that he will receive anything from Adoneinu.

orthjbc@James:1:8 @ He is an ish (note:)man(:note) of double mind, in all his drakhim ways, mesupak uncertain and unstable. [Tehillim strkjv@119:113] ONI POVERTY AND OSHER RICHES

orthjbc@James:1:9 @ But let the Ach b'Moshiach of shiflut (note:)lowliness(:note) glory in the da'as that Hashem will exalt him.

orthjbc@James:1:10 @ And let the Ach b'Moshiach who has osher (note:)riches(:note) glory in his bizyoinos humiliation, in the da'as that Hashem will bring him low, because KOL HABASAR KHATZIR "All flesh is grass," Yeshayah strkjv@40:6,7 and so he likewise will vanish. [Iyov strkjv@14:2; Tehillim strkjv@103:15,16]

orthjbc@James:1:11 @ For the shemesh (note:)sun(:note) rises with its burning heat and dried the grass and its TZITZ NAVEL "flower blossom falls"--Yeshayah strkjv@40:6-8 and the beauty of its appearance perished, so also the ashir rich in his goings will fade away. [Tehillim strkjv@102:4,11] STANDING FIRM IN THE SHA'AT HANISAYON HOUR OF TRIAL WITH THE DA'AS THAT HASHEM IS NOT THE TEMPTER OF ANYONE TO EVIL

orthjbc@James:1:12 @ Ashrey is the one who stands up under nisayon (note:)trial(:note), because, having become approved, that one will be given the ateret haChayyim crown of Life, which Hashem gave as a havtachah promise to those having Ahavas Hashem. [Bereshis strkjv@22:1]

orthjbc@James:1:13 @ However, let no one say, when he is tempted, "from Hashem I am being tempted," for Hashem cannot be tempted to crave ra'ah (note:)evil(:note), and he himself trips up no one with nisayon temptation.

orthjbc@James:1:14 @ But each one is tempted by his own ta'avah (note:)lust(:note), being dragged off by it and being allured. [Mishle strkjv@19:3]

orthjbc@James:1:15 @ Then after her conception Ta'avah gives birth to Averah (note:)Transgression(:note) and Averah, once she has fully developed, gives birth to Mavet. [Bereshis strkjv@3:6; Iyov strkjv@15:35; Tehillim strkjv@7:14; Yeshayah strkjv@59:4] THE IMMUTABILITY OF HASHEM

orthjbc@James:1:16 @ Do not fall under a delusion, my beloved Achim b'Moshiach.

orthjbc@James:1:17 @ Every good endowment and every matanah shleimah (note:)complete gift(:note) is from above, coming down from Avi HaOhrot the Father of Lights with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning. [Tehillim strkjv@85:12; Bereshis strkjv@1:16; Tehillim strkjv@136:7; Daniel strkjv@2:22; Bamidbar strkjv@23:19; Tehillim strkjv@102:27; Malachi strkjv@3:6]

orthjbc@James:1:18 @ Birtzon Hashem (note:)by the will of G-d(:note), he gave birth to us and brought us alive by the Dvar HaEmes, that we might be a kind of bikkurim firstfruits of his yetzurim creatures. [Yirmeyah strkjv@2:3] THE SHOMEI HATORAH HEARERS OF THE LAW OF MOSHE RABBEINU AND THE SHOMREI HATORAH KEEPERS OF THE LAW OF MOSHE RABBEINU

orthjbc@James:1:19 @ Have da'as of this, my beloved Achim b'Moshiach. Let every man be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to ka'as (note:)anger(:note).[Mishle strkjv@10:19]

orthjbc@James:1:20 @ For the ka'as haBnei Adam does not accomplish the Tzikat Hashem.

orthjbc@James:1:21 @ Therefore, having put away all filthiness and what remains of resha (note:)wickedness(:note) in shiflut lowliness and meekness receive the implanted Dvar Hashem being able to save your nefashot

orthjbc@James:1:22 @ Now be Shomrei HaDavar Hashem and not Shomei HaDavar only, thereby causing yourselves to fall under remiyah (note:)deceit, deception(:note).

orthjbc@James:1:23 @ Because if anyone is Shomei HaDavar and not Shomrei HaDavar, this one is like a man looking at his ponum in a mirror,

orthjbc@James:1:24 @ for he observed himself and has gone away and immediately forgot what he looked like.

orthjbc@James:1:25 @ But the one having peered into the Torah haShleimah, the Torah HaCherut, and there remaining entranced, not as a forgetful listener but one who is shomer mitzvot and goes into action--this one will have a beracha on his head in all his acts. [Tehillim strkjv@19:7]

orthjbc@James:1:26 @ If anyone considers himself to be one of the Charedim (note:)Orthodox, G-d-fearing Jewish religious ones(:note), yet has lashon hora and does not bridle his tongue but instead causes his lev to fall under remiyah deceit, this one's piety is worthless. [Tehillim strkjv@34:13; strkjv@39:1; strkjv@141:3]

orthjbc@James:1:27 @ Avodas Kodesh that is tehorah (note:)pure(:note) and tamimah unblemished before Elohim HaAv is this: to visit yetomim orphans and almanot widows in their tzoros and to be shomer against the defilement of the Olam Hazeh. [Devarim strkjv@14:29; Iyov strkjv@31:16,17,21; Tehillim strkjv@146:9; Yeshayah strkjv@1:17,23]

orthjbc@James:2:1 @ My Achim b'Moshiach, surely you do not with your acts of maso panim (note:)favoritism(:note) hold to the [orthodox Jewish] emunah of the glorious Adoneinu Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Yehoshua? [Devarim strkjv@1:17; Vayikra strkjv@19:15; Mishle strkjv@24:23]

orthjbc@James:2:2 @ For if there enter into your Bet HaKnesset (note:)House of Assembly, shul, synagogue, shtibel(:note) a man with gold rings on his fingers in expensive bekeshe and shtreimel, and there enters also an underpriviledged nebbach, a kaptzan poor person in shmattes rags,

orthjbc@James:2:3 @ and you pay special attention to the takif [influential man] wearing the bekeshe and shtreimel and say, "You sit here in seat of kibbud (note:)respect, honor(:note), and to the kaptzan you say, "You stand there." Or "You sit at my feet,"

orthjbc@James:2:4 @ did you not among yourselves differentiate with prejudice and became shofetim (note:)judges(:note) with machshavot re'sha evil thoughts?

orthjbc@James:2:5 @ Hinei! My beloved Achim b'Moshiach, did not Der Oybershter make the Aniyim of the Olam Hazeh in fact Bechirim of Hashem to be rich in emunah and yoreshim of the Malchut, which Adoshem gave as a havtachah (note:)promise(:note) to those with Ahavas Hashem? [Iyov strkjv@34:19]

orthjbc@James:2:6 @ But you dishonored the ish evyon (note:)poor man, pauper(:note). Do not the ashirim rich ones oppress you and they drag you into the Batei Din Bet Din courts?

orthjbc@James:2:7 @ Do they not commit Chillul Hashem blasphemies against the Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach's Shem Tov that has been named upon you?

orthjbc@James:2:8 @ If indeed you are shomer regarding the Dat HaMalkhut (note:)Royal Decree(:note), as it is written in the Kitvei Hakodesh, "V'AHAVTAH L'REI'ACHA KAMOCHA" "And thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself." [VAYIKRA strkjv@19:18] you do well.

orthjbc@James:2:9 @ But if you show maso panim (note:)favoritism(:note), you are chote'im sinners committing averos transgressions against the Torah. [Devarim strkjv@1:17]

orthjbc@James:2:10 @ For whoever is shomer over kol haTorah but stumbles in one mitzvah, such is condemned as ashem (note:)guilty(:note) of averoh transgression of kol mitzvot.

orthjbc@James:2:11 @ For the One having said, LO TINAF (note:)"You shall not commit adultery"(:note) said also LO TIRTZACH "You shall not murder". Now if you do not commit adultery but you do murder, you have become an Over al mitzvot HaTorah transgressor of the Torah. [Shemot strkjv@20:13,14; Devarim strkjv@5:17,18]

orthjbc@James:2:12 @ So let your dvarim be and your ma'asim as by the Torah HaCherut you are about to come under the Bet Din Mishpat.

orthjbc@James:2:13 @ For the Din (note:)Judgment(:note) will be without rachamim mercy to the one not having shown rachamim. Rachamim wins the nitzachon victory over haDin. EMUNAH AND MA'ASIM TOVIM ACTIVE IN AHAVAH

orthjbc@James:2:14 @ What is the revach (note:)gain, profit(:note), my Achim b'Moshiach, if anyone claims to have emunah but doe not have ma'asim works? Surely not such "emunah" is able to bring him to Yeshu'at Eloheinu?

orthjbc@James:2:15 @ If an Ach b'Moshiach or an Achot b'Moshiach is dressed in shmate (note:)tatters(:note) and lacking "lechem chukeinu" "our daily bread," Mt.6:11

orthjbc@James:2:16 @ and anyone of you says to them, "Go in shalom! Be warmed and fed!" but you do not give to them the physical necessities, what is the revach?

orthjbc@James:2:17 @ So also Emunah, if alongside it there is not in its company Ma'asim, is by itself niftar.

orthjbc@James:2:18 @ But someone will say, "You have emunah and I have ma'asim." You make known to me the hitgalut haSod (note:)the revelation of the mystery(:note) of your emunah without your ma'asim, and I'll show you, Chaver, from my ma'asim, the Emunah.

orthjbc@James:2:19 @ So you're impressed with yourselves that with your emunah you can recite the keri'at Shema, nu? O you do so well...why, even the shedim have your da'as and emunah! But they shudder! [Devarim strkjv@6:4]

orthjbc@James:2:20 @ Are you willing to have da'as, O hollow man, that Emunah unharnessed to Ma'asim, stands idle?

orthjbc@James:2:21 @ Avraham Avinu, was he not YITZDAK IM HASHEM (note:)justified with G-d(:note) by his ma'asim when he performed the akedah binding and offered up Yitzchak Beno Isaac his son upon the mitzbe'ach? [Bereshis strkjv@22:9,12]

orthjbc@James:2:22 @ Hinei! While Avraham Avinu's Emunah was working, working right alongside was Avraham Avinu's Ma'asim, and by Ma'asim the emunah was made shleimah!

orthjbc@James:2:23 @ And the Kitvei Hakodesh was fulfilled, Avraham Avinu HE'EMIN BA'HASHEM VAYACHSHEVEHA LO TZDAKA (note:)"believed Hashem and it was accounted to him for righteousness" BERESHIS strkjv@15:6(:note). He was even called "Ohev Hashem" "Friend of G-d" [Bereshis strkjv@15:6; Yeshayah strkjv@41:8; Divrey haYomim Bais strkjv@20:7]

orthjbc@James:2:24 @ You see that from Ma'asim a man is YITZDAK IM HASHEM and not from sterilely unpartnered Emunah.

orthjbc@James:2:25 @ And likewise also Rachav the Zonah--was she not made YITZDAK IM HASHEM from ma'asim, having received the messengers and having sent them out a different way?

orthjbc@James:2:26 @ For just as the guf (note:)body(:note) without the neshamah is niftar, so also is Emunah without Ma'asim.

orthjbc@James:3:1 @ Not many of you, Achim b'Moshiach, should be Morim for Moshiach, als (note:)since(:note), as far as concerns Mishpat Hashem, you have da'as that we morim will have the chomer haDin rigor of the Law fall on us more severely.
