| 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. |
| 1:26 | 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. |
| 1:26 | 若有人自以為虔誠、卻不勒住他的舌頭、反欺哄自己的心、這人的虔誠是虛的。 |
| 1:26 | 若有人自以为虔诚，却不勒住他的舌头，反欺哄自己的心，这人的虔诚是虚的。 |
| psm:34:13 | Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from speaking guile. |
| psm:39:1 | I said, I will take heed to my ways, that I sin not with my tongue: I will keep my mouth with a bridle, while the wicked is before me. |
| 1pe:3:10 | For he that will love life, and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips that they speak no guile: |
| jas:3:2 | For in many things we offend all. If any man offend not in word, the same is a perfect man, and able also to bridle the whole body. |
| jas:3:5 | Even so the tongue is a little member, and boasteth great things. Behold, how great a matter a little fire kindleth! |
| jas:3:6 | And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity: so is the tongue among our members, that it defileth the whole body, and setteth on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire of hell. |
| jas:3:8 | But the tongue can no man tame; it is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison. |
| jas:3:9 | Therewith bless we God, even the Father; and therewith curse we men, which are made after the similitude of God. |
| 2ti:3:13 | But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived. |
| tit:1:10 | For there are many unruly and vain talkers and deceivers, specially they of the circumcision: |
| COBL | |
| 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. |
