1:1 Iames a seruant of God, and of the Lord Iesus Christ, to the twelue Tribes which are scattered abroad, greeting. James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which are scattered abroad, greeting.
1:2 My brethren, count it all ioy when ye fall into diuers temptations, My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations;
1:3 Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience, Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience.
1:4 But let patience haue her perfect worke, that ye may be perfect, and entier, wanting nothing. But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.
1:5 If any of you lacke wisedome, let him aske of God, that giueth to all men liberally, and vpbraideth not: and it shalbe giuen him. If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.
1:6 But let him aske in faith, nothing wauering: for he that wauereth is like a waue of the sea, driuen with the wind, and tossed. But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed.
1:7 For let not that man thinke that he shall receiue any thing of the Lord. For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord.
1:8 A double minded man is vnstable in all his wayes. A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.
1:9 Let the brother of low degree, reioyce in that he is exalted: Let the brother of low degree rejoice in that he is exalted:
1:10 But the rich, in that hee is made low: because as the floure of the grasse he shall passe away. But the rich, in that he is made low: because as the flower of the grass he shall pass away.
1:11 For the Sunne is no sooner risen with a burning heate, but it withereth the grasse; and the flowre thereof falleth, and the grace of the fashion of it perisheth: so also shall the rich man fade away in his wayes. For the sun is no sooner risen with a burning heat, but it withereth the grass, and the flower thereof falleth, and the grace of the fashion of it perisheth: so also shall the rich man fade away in his ways.
1:12 Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when hee is tried, hee shall receiue the crowne of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that loue him. Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him.
1:13 Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with euill, neither tempteth he any man. Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man:
1:14 But euery man is tempted, when hee is drawen away of his owne lust, and entised. But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed.
1:15 Then when lust hath conceiued, it bringeth forth sinne: and sinne, when it is finished, bringeth forth death. Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.
1:16 Doe not erre, my beloued brethren. Do not err, my beloved brethren.
1:17 Euery good gift, and euery perfect gift is from aboue, & commeth downe from the Father of lights, with whom is no variablenesse, neither shadow of turning. Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.
1:18 Of his owne will begate hee vs, with the word of Trueth, that wee should bee a kinde of first fruites of his creatures. Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures.
1:19 Wherefore my beloued brethren, let euery man bee swift to heare, slow to speake, slow to wrath. Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath:
1:20 For the wrath of man worketh not the righteousnesse of God. For the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God.
1:21 Wherefore lay apart all filthinesse, and superfluitie of naughtinesse, & receiue with meeknesse the engrafted word, which is able to saue your soules. Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls.
1:22 But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers onely, deceiuing your owne selues. But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.
1:23 For if any be a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like vnto a man beholding his naturall face in a glasse: 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:
1:24 For hee beholdeth himselfe, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what maner of man he was. For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was.
1:25 But who so looketh into the perfect Law of libertie, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetfull hearer, but a doer of the worke, this man shall be blessed in his deed. But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.
1:26 If any man among you seeme to be religious, & bridleth not his tongue, but deceiueth his owne heart, this mans religion is vaine. If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man's religion is vain.
1:27 Pure religion and vndefiled before God and the Father, is this, to visit the fatherlesse and widowes in their affliction, and to keepe himselfe vnspotted from the world. Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.
