| 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 ye fall into divers temptations; |
| 1:3 | Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience. |
| 1:4 | But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing. |
| 1:5 | 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 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 think that he shall receive any thing 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 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 he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him. |
| 1:12 | 忍受試探的人是有福的．因為他經過試驗以後、必得生命的冠冕、這是主應許給那些愛他之人的。 |
| 1:12 | 忍受试探的人是有福的。因为他经过试验以后，必得生命的冠冕，这是主应许给那些爱他之人的。 |
| job:5:17 | Behold, happy is the man whom God correcteth: therefore despise not thou the chastening of the Almighty: |
| luk:6:22 | Blessed are ye, when men shall hate you, and when they shall separate you from their company, and shall reproach you, and cast out your name as evil, for the Son of man's sake. |
| jas:5:11 | Behold, we count them happy which endure. Ye have heard of the patience of Job, and have seen the end of the Lord; that the Lord is very pitiful, and of tender mercy. |
| 1co:9:25 | And every man that striveth for the mastery is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible. |
| 2ti:4:8 | Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing. |
| 1pe:5:4 | And when the chief Shepherd shall appear, ye shall receive a crown of glory that fadeth not away. |
| rev:2:10 | Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer: behold, the devil shall cast some of you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall have tribulation ten days: be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life. |
| rev:3:11 | Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown. |
| 1co:2:9 | But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. |
| jas:2:5 | Hearken, my beloved brethren, Hath not God chosen the poor of this world rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which he hath promised to them that love him? |
| COBL | |
| 1:13 | 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 every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed. |
| 1:15 | Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death. |
| 1:16 | Do not err, my beloved brethren. |
| 1:17 | 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 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 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 righteousness of God. |
| 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. |
| 1:22 | 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 unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass: |
| 1:24 | For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was. |
| 1:25 | 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 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 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. |
