1:14 But each one is tempted when he is lured and enticed by his own desires.

James 1:22

1:22 But be sure you live out the message and do not merely listen to it and so deceive yourselves.

James 1:24

1:24 For he gazes at himself and then goes out and immediately forgets ¹  what sort of person he was.

James 3:9

3:9 With it we bless the Lord ³  and Father, and with it we curse people ⁴  made in God’s image.

James 5:19

5:19 My brothers and sisters, ⁵  if anyone among you wanders from the truth and someone turns him back,

[1:24]  ¹ tn Grk “and he has gone out and immediately has forgotten.”

[2:13]  ¹ tn Grk “boasts against, exults over,” in victory.

[3:9]  ¹ tc Most later mss (Ï), along with several versional witnesses, have θεόν (qeon, “God”) here instead of κύριον (kurion, “Lord”). Such is a predictable variant since nowhere else in the NT is God described as “Lord and Father,” but he is called “God and Father” on several occasions. Further, the reading κύριον is well supported by early and diversified witnesses (̲⁰ א A B C P Ψ 33 81 945 1241 1739), rendering it as the overwhelmingly preferred reading.

[3:9]  ² tn Grk “men”; but here ἀνθρώπους (anqrwpous) has generic force, referring to both men and women.

[5:19]  ¹ tn Grk “brothers.” See note on the phrase “brothers and sisters” in 1:2.
