- James, a bond-servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, To the twelve tribes who are dispersed abroad: Greetings.
- Consider it all joy, my brethren, when you encounter various trials,
- knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance.
- And let endurance have its perfect result, so that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.
- But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all generously and without reproach, and it will be given to him.

- James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, To the twelve tribes scattered among the nations: Greetings.
- Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds,
- because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance.
- Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.
- If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him.
|
- But he must ask in faith without any doubting, for the one who doubts is like the surf of the sea, driven and tossed by the wind.
- For that man ought not to expect that he will receive anything from the Lord,
- being a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.
- But the brother of humble circumstances is to glory in his high position;
- and the rich man is to glory in his humiliation, because like flowering grass he will pass away.
|
- But when he asks, he must believe and not doubt, because he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind.
- That man should not think he will receive anything from the Lord;
- he is a double-minded man, unstable in all he does.
- The brother in humble circumstances ought to take pride in his high position.
- But the one who is rich should take pride in his low position, because he will pass away like a wild flower.
|
- For the sun rises with a scorching wind and withers the grass; and its flower falls off and the beauty of its appearance is destroyed; so too the rich man in the midst of his pursuits will fade away.
- Blessed is a man who perseveres under trial; for once he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love Him.
- Let no one say when he is tempted, "I am being tempted by God"; for God cannot be tempted by evil, and He Himself does not tempt anyone.
- But each one is tempted when he is carried away and enticed by his own lust.
- Then when lust has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and when sin is accomplished, it brings forth death.
|
- For the sun rises with scorching heat and withers the plant; its blossom falls and its beauty is destroyed. In the same way, the rich man will fade away even while he goes about his business.
- Blessed is the man who perseveres under trial, because when he has stood the test, he will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love him.
- When tempted, no one should say, "God is tempting me." For God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does he tempt anyone;
- but each one is tempted when, by his own evil desire, he is dragged away and enticed.
- Then, after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, gives birth to death.
|
- Do not be deceived, my beloved brethren.
- Every good thing given and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shifting shadow.
- In the exercise of His will He brought us forth by the word of truth, so that we would be a kind of first fruits among His creatures.
|
- Don't be deceived, my dear brothers.
- Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows.
- He chose to give us birth through the word of truth, that we might be a kind of firstfruits of all he created.
