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.
mat:7:21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
mat:7:24 Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:
mat:7:25 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.
mat:7:26 And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand:
mat:7:27 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.
luk:8:21 And he answered and said unto them, My mother and my brethren are these which hear the word of God, and do it.
jhn:13:17 If ye know these things, happy are ye if ye do them.
jas:2:14 What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? can faith save him?
jas:2:15 If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food,
jas:2:16 And one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be ye warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the body; what doth it profit?
jas:2:17 Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone.
jas:2:18 Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works.
jas:2:19 Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble.
jas:2:20 But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?
luk:11:28 But he said, Yea rather, blessed are they that hear the word of God, and keep it.
rom:2:13 (For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified.
1:22 (tw) 只是你們要行道、不要單單聽道、自己欺哄自己.
1:22 (cn) 只是你们要行道,不要单单听道,自己欺哄自己。
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.
