| 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. |
| 1:18 | 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. |
| 1:25 | 惟有詳細察看那全備使人自由之律法的、並且時常如此、這人既不是聽了就忘、乃是實在行出來、就在他所行的事上必然得福。 |
| 1:25 | 惟有那详细察看那全备使人自由之律法的，并且时常如此，这人既不是听了就忘，乃是实在行出来，就在他所行的事上必然得福。 |
| jhn:8:32 | And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. |
| gal:2:4 | And that because of false brethren unawares brought in, who came in privily to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, that they might bring us into bondage: |
| gal:5:1 | Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage. |
| gal:5:13 | For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another. |
| jas:2:12 | So speak ye, and so do, as they that shall be judged by the law of liberty. |
| 1pe:2:16 | As free, and not using your liberty for a cloke of maliciousness, but as the servants of God. |
| 2pe:2:19 | While they promise them liberty, they themselves are the servants of corruption: for of whom a man is overcome, of the same is he brought in bondage. |
| luk:11:28 | But he said, Yea rather, blessed are they that hear the word of God, and keep it. |
| jhn:13:17 | If ye know these things, happy are ye if ye do them. |

| 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. |
