JamesG2385, a servantG1401 of GodG2316 andG2532 of the LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, to the twelveG1427 tribesG5443 whichG1722 are scattered abroadG1290, greetingG5463.
MyG3450 brethrenG80, count itG2233 allG3956 joyG5479 whenG3752 ye fallG4045 into diversG4164 temptationsG3986; {temptations: or, trials}
KnowingG1097 this, thatG3754 the tryingG1383 of yourG5216 faithG4102 workethG2716 patienceG5281.
ButG1161 letG2192 patienceG5281 haveG2192 her perfectG5046 workG2041, thatG2443 ye may beG5600 perfectG5046 andG2532 entireG3648, wantingG3007 nothingG1722+G3367.
If anyG1536 of youG5216 lackG3007 wisdomG4678, let him askG154 ofG3844 GodG2316, that givethG1325 to allG3956 men liberallyG574, andG2532 upbraidethG3679 notG3361; andG2532 it shall be givenG1325 himG846.
ButG1161 let him askG154 inG1722 faithG4102, nothingG3367 waveringG1252. ForG1063 he that waverethG1252 is likeG1503 a waveG2830 of the seaG2281 driven with the windG416 andG2532 tossedG4494.
ForG1063 letG3633 notG3361 thatG1565 manG444 thinkG3633 thatG3754 he shall receiveG2983 any thingG5100 ofG3844 the LordG2962.
A double mindedG1374 manG435 is unstableG182 inG1722 allG3956 hisG846 waysG3598.
LetG2744 the brotherG80 of low degreeG5011 rejoiceG2744 inG1722 that heG846 is exaltedG5311: {rejoice: or, glory} {rejoice: or, glory}
ButG1161 the richG4145, inG1722 that heG846 is made lowG5014: becauseG3754 asG5613 the flowerG438 of the grassG5528 he shall pass awayG3928.
ForG1063 the sunG2246 is no sooner risenG393 withG4862 a burning heatG2742, butG2532 it witherethG3583 the grassG5528, andG2532 the flowerG438 thereofG846 fallethG1601, andG2532 the graceG2143 of the fashionG4383 of itG846 perishethG622: soG3779 alsoG2532 shallG3133 the rich manG4145 fade awayG3133 inG1722 hisG846 waysG4197.
BlessedG3107 is the manG435 thatG3739 endurethG5278 temptationG3986: forG3754 when he is triedG1384+G1096, he shall receiveG2983 the crownG4735 of lifeG2222, whichG3739 the LordG2962 hath promisedG1861 to them that loveG25 himG846.
LetG3004 no manG3367 sayG3004 when he is temptedG3985+G3754, I am temptedG3985 ofG575 GodG2316: forG1063 GodG2316 cannot be temptedG551+G2076 with evilG2556, neitherG1161 temptethG3985 heG846+G3985 any manG3762: {evil: or, evils}
ButG1161 every manG1538 is temptedG3985, when he is drawn awayG1828 ofG5259 his ownG2398 lustG1939, andG2532 enticedG1185.
ThenG1534 when lustG1939 hath conceivedG4815, it bringeth forthG5088 sinG266: andG1161 sinG266, when it is finishedG658, bringeth forthG616 deathG2288.
DoG4105 notG3361 errG4105, myG3450 belovedG27 brethrenG80.
EveryG3956 goodG18 giftG1394 andG2532 everyG3956 perfectG5046 giftG1434 isG2076 from aboveG509, and cometh downG2597 fromG575 the FatherG3962 of lightsG5457, withG3844 whomG3739 isG1762 noG3756 variablenessG3883, neitherG2228 shadowG644 of turningG5157.
Of his own willG1014 begat heG616 usG2248 with the wordG3056 of truthG225, thatG1519 weG2248 should beG1511 a kindG5100 of firstfruitsG536 of hisG846 creaturesG2938.
WhereforeG5620, myG3450 belovedG27 brethrenG80, letG2077 everyG3956 manG444 beG2077 swiftG5036 toG1519 hearG191, slowG1021 toG1519 speakG2980, slowG1021 toG1519 wrathG3709:
ForG1063 the wrathG3709 of manG435 workethG2716 notG3756 the righteousnessG1343 of GodG2316.
WhereforeG1352 lay apartG659 allG3956 filthinessG4507 andG2532 superfluityG4050 of naughtinessG2549, and receiveG1209 withG1722 meeknessG4240 the engraftedG1721 wordG3056, whichG3588 is ableG1410 to saveG4982 yourG5216 soulsG5590.
ButG1161 be yeG1096 doersG4163 of the wordG3056, andG2532 notG3361 hearersG202 onlyG3440, deceivingG3884 your own selvesG1438.
ForG3754 if anyG1536 beG2076 a hearerG202 of the wordG3056, andG2532 notG3756 a doerG4163, heG3778 is likeG1503 unto a manG435 beholdingG2657 hisG846 naturalG1078 faceG4383 inG1722 a glassG2072:
ForG1063 he beholdethG2657 himselfG1438, andG2532 goeth his wayG565, andG2532 straightwayG2112 forgettethG1950 what manner of manG3697 he wasG2258.
ButG1161 whoso lookethG3879 intoG1519 the perfectG5046 lawG3551 of libertyG1657, andG2532 continuethG3887 therein, heG3778 beingG1096 notG3756 a forgetfulG1953 hearerG202, butG235 a doerG4163 of the workG2041, this manG3778 shall beG2071 blessedG3107 inG1722 hisG846 deedG4162. {deed: or, doing}
If any manG1536 amongG1722 youG5213 seemG1380 to beG1511 religiousG2357, and bridlethG5468 notG3361 hisG846 tongueG1100, butG235 deceivethG538 his ownG846 heartG2588, this man'sG5127 religionG2356 is vainG3152.
PureG2513 religionG2356 andG2532 undefiledG283 beforeG3844 GodG2316 andG2532 the FatherG3962 isG2076 thisG3778, To visitG1980 the fatherlessG3737 andG2532 widowsG5503 inG1722 theirG846 afflictionG2347, and to keepG5083 himselfG1438 unspottedG784 fromG575 the worldG2889.

HearkenG191, myG3450 belovedG27 brethrenG80, HathG1586 notG3756 GodG2316 chosenG1586 the poorG4434 of thisG5127 worldG2889 richG4145 inG1722 faithG4102, andG2532 heirsG2818 of the kingdomG932 whichG3739 he hath promisedG1861 to them that loveG25 himG846? {of the: or, of that}
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, Let not the wiseH2450 man gloryH1984 in his wisdomH2451, neither let the mightyH1368 man gloryH1984 in his mightH1369, let not the richH6223 man gloryH1984 in his richesH6239:
HearkenG191, myG3450 belovedG27 brethrenG80, HathG1586 notG3756 GodG2316 chosenG1586 the poorG4434 of thisG5127 worldG2889 richG4145 inG1722 faithG4102, andG2532 heirsG2818 of the kingdomG932 whichG3739 he hath promisedG1861 to them that loveG25 himG846? {of the: or, of that}
ButG1161 yeG5210 have despisedG818 the poorG4434. DoG2616 notG3756 rich menG4145 oppressG2616 youG5216, andG2532 drawG846+G1670 youG5209 beforeG1519 the judgment seatsG2922?
But let him that gloriethH1984 gloryH1984 in this, that he understandethH7919 and knowethH3045 me, that I am the LORDH3068 which exerciseH6213 lovingkindnessH2617, judgmentH4941, and righteousnessH6666, in the earthH776: for in these things I delightH2654, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
He raiseth upH6965 the poorH1800 out of the dustH6083, and lifteth upH7311 the beggarH34 from the dunghillH830, to setH3427 them among princesH5081, and to make them inheritH5157 the throneH3678 of gloryH3519: for the pillarsH4690 of the earthH776 are the LORD'SH3068, and he hath setH7896 the worldH8398 upon them.
If there be among you a poor manH34 of oneH259 of thy brethrenH251 within anyH259 of thy gatesH8179 in thy landH776 which the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 givethH5414 thee, thou shalt not hardenH553 thine heartH3824, nor shutH7092 thine handH3027 from thy poorH34 brotherH251:
ByG1223 whomG3739 alsoG2532 we haveG2192 accessG4318 by faithG4102 intoG1519 thisG5026 graceG5485 whereinG1722+G3739 we standG2476, andG2532 rejoiceG2744 inG1909 hopeG1680 of the gloryG1391 of GodG2316.
He raiseth upH6965 the poorH1800 out of the dustH6083, and liftethH7311 the needyH34 out of the dunghillH830;
BewareH8104 that there be not a thoughtH1697 in thy wickedH1100 heartH3824, sayingH559, The seventhH7651 yearH8141, the yearH8141 of releaseH8059, is at handH7126; and thine eyeH5869 be evilH7489 against thy poorH34 brotherH251, and thou givestH5414 him nought; and he cryH7121 unto the LORDH3068 against thee, and it be sinH2399 unto thee. {thought: Heb. word} {wicked: Heb. Belial}
AndG1161 notG3756 onlyG3440 so, butG235 we gloryG2744 inG1722 tribulationsG2347 alsoG2532: knowingG1492 thatG3754 tribulationG2347 workethG2716 patienceG5281;
For the poorH34 shall never ceaseH2308 out ofH7130 the landH776: therefore I commandH6680 thee, sayingH559, Thou shalt openH6605 thine handH3027 wideH6605 unto thy brotherH251, to thy poorH6041, and to thy needyH34, in thy landH776.
ForG1063 weG2249 areG2070 the circumcisionG4061, whichG3588 worshipG3000 GodG2316 in the spiritG4151, andG2532 rejoiceG2744 inG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424, andG2532 haveG3982 noG3756 confidenceG3982 inG1722 the fleshG4561.
AndG2532 saidG2036 unto themG846, WhosoeverG3739+G1437 shall receiveG1209 thisG5124 childG3813 inG1909 myG3450 nameG3686 receivethG1209 meG1691: andG2532 whosoeverG3739+G1437 shall receiveG1209 meG1691 receiveth himG1209 that sentG649 meG3165: forG1063 he that isG5225 leastG3398 amongG1722 youG5213 allG3956, the sameG3778 shall beG2071 greatG3173.
Surely menH120+H1121 of low degree are vanityH1892, and menH376 of high degree are a lieH3577: to be laidH5927 in the balanceH3976, they are altogetherH3162 lighter than vanityH1892. {altogether: or, alike}
NotwithstandingG4133 inG1722 thisG5129 rejoiceG5463 notG3361, thatG3754 the spiritsG4151 are subjectG5293 unto youG5213; butG1161 ratherG3123 rejoiceG5463, becauseG3754 yourG5216 namesG3686 are writtenG1125 inG1722 heavenG3772.
Whoso mockethH3932 the poorH7326 reproachethH2778 his MakerH6213: and he that is gladH8056 at calamitiesH343 shall not be unpunishedH5352. {unpunished: Heb. held innocent}
AndG1161 ifG1487 childrenG5043, thenG2532 heirsG2818; heirsG2818 of GodG3303+G2316, andG1161 joint-heirsG4789 with ChristG5547; if so beG1512 that we suffer withG4841 him, thatG2443 we may beG4888 alsoG2532 glorified togetherG4888.
BetterH2896 is the poorH7326 that walkethH1980 in his integrityH8537, than he that is perverseH6141 in his lipsH8193, and is a foolH3684.
AsG5613 sorrowfulG3076, yetG1161 alwayG104 rejoicingG5463; asG5613 poorG4434, yetG1161 makingG4148 manyG4183 richG4148; asG5613 havingG2192 nothingG3367, andG2532 yet possessingG2722 all thingsG3956.
He hath put downG2507 the mightyG1413 fromG575 their seatsG2362, andG2532 exaltedG5312 them of low degreeG5011.
I pressG1377 towardG2596 the markG4649 forG1909 the prizeG1017 of the highG507 callingG2821 of GodG2316 inG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424.
ButG1161 yeG5210 are a chosenG1588 generationG1085, a royalG934 priesthoodG2406, an holyG40 nationG1484, a peculiarG1519+G4047 peopleG2992; thatG3704 ye should shew forthG1804 the praisesG703 of him who hath calledG2564 youG5209 out ofG1537 darknessG4655 intoG1519 hisG846 marvellousG2298 lightG5457: {peculiar: or, purchased} {praises: or, virtues}
BeholdG1492, what mannerG4217 of loveG26 the FatherG3962 hath bestowedG1325 upon usG2254, thatG2443 we should be calledG2564 the sonsG5043 of GodG2316: thereforeG1223+G5124 the worldG2889 knowethG1097 usG2248 notG3756, becauseG3754 it knewG1097 himG846 notG3756.
BelovedG27, nowG3568 are weG2070 the sonsG5043 of GodG2316, andG2532 it dothG5319 not yetG3768 appearG5319 whatG5101 we shall beG2071: butG1161 we knowG1492 thatG3754, whenG1437 he shall appearG5319, we shall beG2071 likeG3664 himG846; forG3754 we shall seeG3700 himG846 asG2531 he isG2076.
AndG2532 every manG3956 that hathG2192 thisG5026 hopeG1680 inG1909 himG846 purifiethG48 himselfG1438, even asG2531 heG1565 isG2076 pureG53.
I knowG1492 thyG4675 worksG2041, andG2532 tribulationG2347, andG2532 povertyG4432, (butG1161 thou artG1488 richG4145) andG2532 I know the blasphemyG988 of them whichG3588 sayG3004 theyG1438 areG1511 JewsG2453, andG2532 areG1526 notG3756, butG235 are the synagogueG4864 of SatanG4567.
AndG2532 they sungG103 a newG2537 songG5603, sayingG3004, Thou artG1488 worthyG514 to takeG2983 the bookG975, andG2532 to openG455 the sealsG4973 thereofG846: forG3754 thou wast slainG4969, andG2532 hast redeemedG59 usG2248 to GodG2316 byG1722 thyG4675 bloodG129 out ofG1537 everyG3956 kindredG5443, andG2532 tongueG1100, andG2532 peopleG2992, andG2532 nationG1484;
AndG2532 hast madeG4160 usG2248 unto ourG2257 GodG2316 kingsG935 andG2532 priestsG2409: andG2532 we shall reignG936 onG1909 the earthG1093.
AfterG3326 thisG5023 I beheldG1492, andG2532, loG2400, a greatG4183 multitudeG3793, whichG3739 no manG3762 couldG1410 numberG705+G846, ofG1537 allG3956 nationsG1484, andG2532 kindredsG5443, andG2532 peopleG2992, andG2532 tonguesG1100, stoodG2476 beforeG1799 the throneG2362, andG2532 beforeG1799 the LambG721, clothedG4016 with whiteG3022 robesG4749, andG2532 palmsG5404 inG1722 theirG846 handsG5495;
