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. |
1:13 | 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. |
1:17 | 各樣美善的恩賜、和各樣全備的賞賜、都是從上頭來的.從眾光之父那裡降下來的.在他並沒有改變、也沒有轉動的影兒。 |
1:17 | 各样美善的恩赐,和各样全备的赏赐,都是从上头来的。从众光之父那里降下来的。在他并没有改变,也没有转动的影儿。 |
psm:85:12 | Yea, the LORD shall give that which is good; and our land shall yield her increase. |
jhn:3:27 | John answered and said, A man can receive nothing, except it be given him from heaven. |
1jn:1:5 | This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all. |
psm:102:27 | But thou art the same, and thy years shall have no end. |
mal:3:6 | For I am the LORD, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed. |

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. |
