James
1:1 James, a servant of Elohim and of the Master YASHUWAH the Messiah, to the twelve tribes which are scattered abroad, greeting.
James
1:2 My brethren, count it all joy when you* fall into divers temptations;
James
1:3 Knowing this, that the trying of your* faith works patience.
James
1:4 But let patience have her perfect work, that you* may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.
James
1:5 If any of you* lack wisdom, let him ask of Elohim, that gives to all men liberally, and upbraids not; and it shall be given him.
James
1:6 But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavers is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed.
James
1:7 For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of YASHUWAH.
James
1:8 A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.
James
1:9 Let the brother of low degree rejoice in that he is exalted:
James
1:10 But the rich, in that he is made low: because as the flower of the grass he shall pass away.
James
1:11 For the sun is no sooner risen with a burning heat, but it withers the grass, and the flower thereof falls, and the grace of the fashion of it perishes: so also shall the rich man fade away in his ways.
James
1:12 Blessed is the man that endures temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which YASHUWAH has promised to them that love him.
James
1:13 Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of Elohim: for Elohim cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempts he any man:
James
1:14 But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed.
James
1:15 Then when lust has conceived, it brings forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, brings forth death.
James
1:16 Do not err, my beloved brethren.
James
1:17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.
James
1:18 Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures.
James
1:19 Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath:
James
1:20 For the wrath of man works not the righteousness of Elohim.
James
1:21 Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your* souls.
James
1:22 But be you* doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your* own selves.
James
1:23 For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass:
James
1:24 For he beholds himself, and goes his way, and straightway forgets what manner of man he was.
James
1:25 But whoso looks into the perfect law of liberty, and continues therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.
James
1:26 If any man among you* seem to be religious, and bridles not his tongue, but deceives his own heart, this man's religion is vain.
James
1:27 Pure religion and undefiled before Elohim and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.
