1:1  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 joy when you fall into various trials;
1:3  Knowing this, that the trying of your faith works patience.
1:4  But let patience have her perfect work, that you may be perfect and entire, lacking in nothing.
1:5  If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all men liberally, and reproaches not; and it shall be given him.
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.
1:7  For let not that man think that he shall receive anything of the Lord.
1:8  A double-minded man is unstable in all his ways.
1:9  Let the brother of low degree rejoice in that he is exalted:
1:10  But the rich, in that he is made low: because as the flower of the grass he shall pass away.
1:11  For the sun is no sooner risen with a burning heat, but it withers the grass, and its flower falls, and the beauty of the appearance of it perishes: so also shall the rich man fade away in his ways.
1:12  Blessed is the man that endures trial: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord has 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 evil, neither tempts he any man:
1:14  But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed.
1:15  Then when lust has conceived, it brings forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, brings forth death.
1:16  Do not err, my beloved brethren.
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.
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.
1:19  Therefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger:
1:20  For the anger of man works not the righteousness of God.
1:21  Therefore put away all filthiness and extreme wickedness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls.
1:22  But be you 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 unto a man beholding his natural face in a mirror:
1:24  For he beholds himself, and goes his way, and immediately forgets what manner of man he was.
1:25  But whoever looks into the perfect law of liberty, and continues in it, 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 seems to be religious, and bridles not his tongue, but deceives his own heart, this man's religion is vain.
1:27  Pure religion and undefiled before God the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.
