drb James:1:2-18
drb@James:1:2 @My brethren, count it all joy, when you shall fall into divers temptations;
drb@James:1:3 @Knowing that the trying of your faith worketh patience.
drb@James:1:4 @And patience hath a perfect work; that you may be perfect and entire, failing in nothing.
drb@James:1:5 @But if any of you want wisdom, let him ask of God, who giveth to all men abundantly, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.
drb@James:1:6 @But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea, which is moved and carried about by the wind.
drb@James:1:7 @Therefore let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord.
drb@James:1:8 @A double minded man is inconstant in all his ways.
drb@James:1:9 @But let the brother of low condition glory in his exaltation:
drb@James:1:10 @And the rich, in his being low; because as the flower of the grass shall he pass away.
drb@James:1:11 @For the sun rose with a burning heat, and parched the grass, and the flower thereof fell off, and the beauty of the shape thereof perished: so also shall the rich man fade away in his ways.
drb@James:1:12 @Blessed is the man that endureth temptation; for when he hath been proved, he shall receive a crown of life, which God hath promised to them that love him.
drb@James:1:13 @Let no man, when he is tempted, say that he is tempted by God. For God is not a tempter of evils, and he tempteth no man.
drb@James:1:14 @But every man is tempted by his own concupiscence, being drawn away and allured.
drb@James:1:15 @Then when concupiscence hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin. But sin, when it is completed, begetteth death.
drb@James:1:16 @Do not err, therefore, my dearest brethren.
drb@James:1:17 @Every best gift, and every perfect gift, is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no change, nor shadow of alteration.
drb@James:1:18 @For of his own will hath he begotten us by the word of truth, that we might be some beginning of his creatures.
