James 1:1-26

1:1

James
<2385>_,

a servant
<1401>

of God
<2316>

and
<2532>

of the Lord
<2962>

Jesus
<2424>

Christ
<5547>_,

to the twelve
<1427>

tribes
<5443>

which
<1722>

are scattered abroad
<1290>_,

greeting
<5463> (5721)_.

1:2

My
<3450>

brethren
<80>_,

count it
<2233> (5662)

all
<3956>

joy
<5479>

when
<3752>

ye fall
<4045> (5632)

into divers
<4164>

temptations
<3986>_;

{temptation: or, trials}

1:3

Knowing
<1097> (5723)

[this], that
<3754>

the trying
<1383>

of your
<5216>

faith
<4102>

worketh
<2716> (5736)

patience
<5281>_.

1:4

But
<1161>

let
<2192> (0)

patience
<5281>

have
<2192> (5720)

[her] perfect
<5046>

work
<2041>_,

that
<2443>

ye may be
<5600> (5753)

perfect
<5046>

and
<2532>

entire
<3648>_,

wanting
<3007> (5746)

nothing
<1722> <3367>_.

1:5

<1161>@ If any
<1536>

of you
<5216>

lack
<3007> (5743)

wisdom
<4678>_,

let him ask
<154> (5720)

of
<3844>

God
<2316>_,

that giveth
<1325> (5723)

to all
<3956>

[men] liberally
<574>_,

and
<2532>

upbraideth
<3679> (5723)

not
<3361>_;

and
<2532>

it shall be given
<1325> (5701)

him
<846>_.

1:6

But
<1161>

let him ask
<154> (5720)

in
<1722>

faith
<4102>_,

nothing
<3367>

wavering
<1252> (5734)_.

For
<1063>

he that wavereth
<1252> (5734)

is like
<1503> (5758)

a wave
<2830>

of the sea
<2281>

driven with the wind
<416> (5746)

and
<2532>

tossed
<4494> (5746)_.

1:7

For
<1063>

let
<3633> (0)

not
<3361>

that
<1565>

man
<444>

think
<3633> (5737)

that
<3754>

he shall receive
<2983> (5695)

any thing
<5100>

of
<3844>

the Lord
<2962>_.

1:8

A double minded
<1374>

man
<435>

[is] unstable
<182>

in
<1722>

all
<3956>

his
<846>

ways
<3598>_.

1:9

<1161>@ Let
<2744> (0)

the brother
<80>

of low degree
<5011>

rejoice
<2744> (5737)

in
<1722>

that he
<846>

is exalted
<5311>_:

{rejoice: or, glory}

1:10

But
<1161>

the rich
<4145>_,

in
<1722>

that he
<846>

is made low
<5014>_:

because
<3754>

as
<5613>

the flower
<438>

of the grass
<5528>

he shall pass away
<3928> (5695)_.

1:11

For
<1063>

the sun
<2246>

is no sooner risen
<393> (5656)

with
<4862>

a burning heat
<2742>_,

but
<2532>

it withereth
<3583> (5656)

the grass
<5528>_,

and
<2532>

the flower
<438>

thereof
<846>

falleth
<1601> (5627)_,

and
<2532>

the grace
<2143>

of the fashion
<4383>

of it
<846>

perisheth
<622> (5639)_:

so
<3779>

also
<2532>

shall
<3133> (0)

the rich man
<4145>

fade away
<3133> (5701)

in
<1722>

his
<846>

ways
<4197>_.

1:12

Blessed
<3107>

[is] the man
<435>

that
<3739>

endureth
<5278> (5719)

temptation
<3986>_:

for
<3754>

when he is tried
<1384> <1096> (5637)_,

he shall receive
<2983> (5695)

the crown
<4735>

of life
<2222>_,

which
<3739>

the Lord
<2962>

hath promised
<1861> (5662)

to them that love
<25> (5723)

him
<846>_.

1:13

Let
<3004> (0)

no man
<3367>

say
<3004> (5720)

when he is tempted
<3985> (5746)_,

<3754>

I am tempted
<3985> (5743)

of
<575>

God
<2316>_:

for
<1063>

God
<2316>

cannot be tempted
<551> <2076> (5748)

with evil
<2556>_,

neither
<1161>

tempteth
<3985> (0)

he
<846> <3985> (5719)

any man
<3762>_:

{evil: or, evils}

1:14

But
<1161>

every man
<1538>

is tempted
<3985> (5743)_,

when he is drawn away
<1828> (5746)

of
<5259>

his own
<2398>

lust
<1939>_,

and
<2532>

enticed
<1185> (5746)_.

1:15

Then
<1534>

when lust
<1939>

hath conceived
<4815> (5631)_,

it bringeth forth
<5088> (5719)

sin
<266>_:

and
<1161>

sin
<266>_,

when it is finished
<658> (5685)_,

bringeth forth
<616> (5719)

death
<2288>_.

1:16

Do
<4105> (0)

not
<3361>

err
<4105> (5744)_,

my
<3450>

beloved
<27>

brethren
<80>_.

1:17

Every
<3956>

good
<18>

gift
<1394>

and
<2532>

every
<3956>

perfect
<5046>

gift
<1434>

is
<2076> (5748)

from above
<509>_,

and cometh down
<2597> (5723)

from
<575>

the Father
<3962>

of lights
<5457>_,

with
<3844>

whom
<3739>

is
<1762> (5748)

no
<3756>

variableness
<3883>_,

neither
<2228>

shadow
<644>

of turning
<5157>_.

1:18

Of his own will
<1014> (5679)

begat he
<616> (5656)

us
<2248>

with the word
<3056>

of truth
<225>_,

that
<1519>

we
<2248>

should be
<1511> (5750)

a kind
<5100>

of firstfruits
<536>

of his
<846>

creatures
<2938>_.

1:19

Wherefore
<5620>_,

my
<3450>

beloved
<27>

brethren
<80>_,

let
<2077> (0)

every
<3956>

man
<444>

be
<2077> (5749)

swift
<5036>

to
<1519>

hear
<191> (5658)_,

slow
<1021>

to
<1519>

speak
<2980> (5658)_,

slow
<1021>

to
<1519>

wrath
<3709>_:

1:20

For
<1063>

the wrath
<3709>

of man
<435>

worketh
<2716> (5736)

not
<3756>

the righteousness
<1343>

of God
<2316>_.

1:21

Wherefore
<1352>

lay apart
<659> (5642)

all
<3956>

filthiness
<4507>

and
<2532>

superfluity
<4050>

of naughtiness
<2549>_,

and receive
<1209> (5663)

with
<1722>

meekness
<4240>

the engrafted
<1721>

word
<3056>_,

which
<3588>

is able
<1410> (5740)

to save
<4982> (5658)

your
<5216>

souls
<5590>_.

1:22

But
<1161>

be ye
<1096> (5737)

doers
<4163>

of the word
<3056>_,

and
<2532>

not
<3361>

hearers
<202>

only
<3440>_,

deceiving
<3884> (5740)

your own selves
<1438>_.

1:23

For
<3754>

if any
<1536>

be
<2076> (5748)

a hearer
<202>

of the word
<3056>_,

and
<2532>

not
<3756>

a doer
<4163>_,

he
<3778>

is like
<1503> (5758)

unto a man
<435>

beholding
<2657> (5723)

his
<846>

natural
<1078>

face
<4383>

in
<1722>

a glass
<2072>_:

1:24

For
<1063>

he beholdeth
<2657> (5656)

himself
<1438>_,

and
<2532>

goeth his way
<565> (5754)_,

and
<2532>

straightway
<2112>

forgetteth
<1950> (5633)

what manner of man
<3697>

he was
<2258> (5713)_.

1:25

But
<1161>

whoso looketh
<3879> (5660)

into
<1519>

the perfect
<5046>

law
<3551>

of liberty
<1657>_,

and
<2532>

continueth
<3887> (5660)

[therein], he
<3778>

being
<1096> (5637)

not
<3756>

a forgetful
<1953>

hearer
<202>_,

but
<235>

a doer
<4163>

of the work
<2041>_,

this man
<3778>

shall be
<2071> (5704)

blessed
<3107>

in
<1722>

his
<846>

deed
<4162>_.

{deed: or, doing}

1:26

If any man
<1536>

among
<1722>

you
<5213>

seem
<1380> (5719)

to be
<1511> (5750)

religious
<2357>_,

and bridleth
<5468> (5723)

not
<3361>

his
<846>

tongue
<1100>_,

but
<235>

deceiveth
<538> (5723)

his own
<846>

heart
<2588>_,

this man's
<5127>

religion
<2356>

[is] vain
<3152>_.
