    James 1
    • 1   James, the servant of God and of our Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which are scattered abroad, greeting.
    • 2   My brethren, count it all joy, when you shall fall into divers temptations:
    • 3   Knowing that the trying of your faith worketh patience
    • 4   And patience hath a perfect work: that you may be perfect and entire, failing in nothing.
    • 5   But if any of you want wisdom, let him ask of God who giveth to all men abundantly and upbraideth not. And it shall be given him.
    • 6   But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea, which is moved and carried about by the wind.
    • 7   Therefore let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord.
    • 8   A double minded man is inconstant in all his ways.
    • 9   But let the brother of low condition glory in his exaltation:
    • 10   And the rich, in his being low: because as the flower of the grass shall he pass away.
    • 11   For the sun rose with a burning heat and parched the grass: and the flower thereof fell off, and the beauty of the shape thereof perished. So also shall the rich man fade away in his ways.
    • 12   Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for, when he hath been proved, he shall receive the crown of life which God hath promised to them that love him.
    • 13   Let no man, when he is tempted, say that he is tempted by God. For God is not a tempter of evils: and he tempteth no man.
    • 14   But every man is tempted by his own concupiscence, being drawn away and allured.
    • 15   Then, when concupiscence hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin. But sin, when it is completed, begetteth death.
    • 16   Do not err, therefore, my dearest brethren.
    • 17   Every best gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no change nor shadow of alteration.
    • 18   For of his own will hath he begotten us by the word of truth, that we might be some beginning of his creature.
    • 19   You know, my dearest brethren. And let every man be swift to hear, but slow to speak and slow to anger.
    • 20   For the anger of man worketh not the justice of God.
    • 21   Wherefore, casting away all uncleanness and abundance of naughtiness, with meekness receive the ingrafted word, which is able to save your souls.
    • 22   But be ye doers of the word and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.
    • 23   For if a man be a hearer of the word and not a doer, he shall be compared to a man beholding his own countenance in a glass.
    • 24   For he beheld himself and went his way and presently forgot what manner of man he was.
    • 25   But he that hath looked into the perfect law of liberty and hath continued therein, not becoming a forgetful hearer but a doer of the work: this man shall be blessed in his deed.
    • 26   And if any man think himself to be religious, not bridling his tongue but deceiving his own heart, this man's religion is vain.
    • 27   Religion clean and undefiled before God and the Father is this: to visit the fatherless and widows in their tribulation and to keep one's self unspotted from this world.
