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.

SpeakH1696 unto the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, and sayH559 unto them, When ye be comeH935 into the landH776 which I giveH5414 unto you, and shall reapH7114 the harvestH7105 thereof, then ye shall bringH935 a sheafH6016 of the firstfruitsH7225 of your harvestH7105 unto the priestH3548: {sheaf: or, handful: Heb. omer}
JesusG2424 answeredG611 andG2532 saidG2036 unto himG846, VerilyG281, verilyG281, I sayG3004 unto theeG4671, ExceptG3362 a manG5100 be bornG1080 againG509, he cannotG1410+G3756 seeG1492 the kingdomG932 of GodG2316. {again: or, from above}
NicodemusG3530 saithG3004 untoG4314 himG846, HowG4459 canG1410 a manG444 be bornG1080 when he isG5607 oldG1088? canG3361+G1410 he enterG1525 the second timeG1208 intoG1519 hisG846 mother'sG3384 wombG2836, andG2532 be bornG1080?
JesusG2424 answeredG611, VerilyG281, verilyG281, I sayG3004 unto theeG4671, ExceptG3362 a manG5100 be bornG1080 ofG1537 waterG5204 andG2532 of the SpiritG4151, he cannotG3756+G1410 enterG1525 intoG1519 the kingdomG932 of GodG2316.
ForG1063 thoughG1437 ye haveG2192 ten thousandG3463 instructorsG3807 inG1722 ChristG5547, yetG235 have ye notG3756 manyG4183 fathersG3962: forG1063 inG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424 IG1473 have begottenG1080 youG5209 throughG1223 the gospelG2098.
IsraelH3478 was holinessH6944 unto the LORDH3068, and the firstfruitsH7225 of his increaseH8393: all that devourH398 him shall offendH816; evilH7451 shall comeH935 upon them, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
(AsG2531 it is writtenG1125+G3754, I have madeG5087 theeG4571 a fatherG3962 of manyG4183 nationsG1484,) beforeG2713 him whomG3739 he believedG4100, even GodG2316, who quickenethG2227 the deadG3498, andG2532 callethG2564 those things which beG5607 notG3361 as thoughG5613 they wereG5607. {before him: or, like unto him}
ThatG1519 weG2248 should beG1511 toG1519 the praiseG1868 of hisG846 gloryG1391, whoG3588 first trustedG4276 inG1722 ChristG5547. {trusted: or, hoped}
WoeH1945 to them that are at easeH7600 in ZionH6726, and trustH982 in the mountainH2022 of SamariaH8111, which are namedH5344 chiefH7225 of the nationsH1471, to whom the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 cameH935! {are at…: or, are secure} {chief: or, firstfruits}
ForG3754 whomG3739 he did foreknowG4267, heG4309 alsoG2532 did predestinateG4309 to be conformedG4832 to the imageG1504 of hisG846 SonG5207, thatG1519 heG846 might beG1511 the firstbornG4416 amongG1722 manyG4183 brethrenG80.
MoreoverG1161 whomG3739 he did predestinateG4309, themG5128 heG2564 alsoG2532 calledG2564: andG2532 whomG3739 he calledG2564, themG5128 heG1344 alsoG2532 justifiedG1344: andG1161 whomG3739 he justifiedG1344, themG5128 heG1392 alsoG2532 glorifiedG1392.
WhatG5101 shall weG2046 thenG3767 sayG2046 toG4314 these thingsG5023? IfG1487 GodG2316 be forG5228 usG2257, whoG5101 can be againstG2596 usG2257?
Being born againG313, notG3756 ofG1537 corruptibleG5349 seedG4701, butG235 of incorruptibleG862, byG1223 the wordG3056 of GodG2316, which livethG2198 andG2532 abidethG3306 forG1519 everG165.
To the general assemblyG3831 andG2532 churchG1577 of the firstbornG4416, which are writtenG583 inG1722 heavenG3772, andG2532 to GodG2316 the JudgeG2923 of allG3956, andG2532 to the spiritsG4151 of just menG1342 made perfectG5048, {written: or, enrolled}
ForG1063 he saithG3004 to MosesG3475, I will have mercy onG1653 whomG3739+G302 I will have mercyG1653, andG2532 I will have compassionG3627 on whomG3739+G302 I will have compassionG3627.
SoG686 thenG3767 it is notG3756 of him that willethG2309, norG3761 of him that runnethG5143, butG235 of GodG2316 that sheweth mercyG1653.
ForG1063 the scriptureG1124 saithG3004 unto PharaohG5328, Even forG3754+G1519 thisG5124 same purposeG846 have I raisedG1825 theeG4571 upG1825, thatG3704 I might shewG1731 myG3450 powerG1411 inG1722 theeG4671, andG2532 thatG3704 myG3450 nameG3686 might be declaredG1229 throughoutG1722 allG3956 the earthG1093.
ThereforeG686+G3767 hath he mercyG1653 on whomG3739 he willG2309 have mercy, andG1161 whomG3739 he willG2309 he hardenethG4645.
WhosoeverG3956 is bornG1080 ofG1537 GodG2316 dothG4160 notG3756 commit sinG266; forG3754 hisG846 seedG4690 remainethG3306 inG1722 himG846: andG2532 he cannotG3756+G1410 sinG264, becauseG3754 he is bornG1080 ofG1537 GodG2316.
TheseG3778 are theyG1526 whichG3739 wereG3435 notG3756 defiledG3435 withG3326 womenG1135; forG1063 they areG1526 virginsG3933. TheseG3778 are theyG1526 whichG3588 followG190 the LambG721 whithersoeverG3699+G302 he goethG5217. TheseG3778 were redeemedG59 fromG575 among menG444, being the firstfruitsG536 unto GodG2316 andG2532 to the LambG721. {redeemed: Gr. bought}
ButG1161 GodG2316, who isG5607 richG4145 inG1722 mercyG1656, forG1223 hisG846 greatG4183 loveG26 wherewithG3739 he lovedG25 usG2248,
EvenG2532 when weG2248 wereG5607 deadG3498 in sinsG3900, hath quickened us together withG4806 ChristG5547, (by graceG5485 ye areG2075 savedG4982;) {by…: or, by whose grace}
AndG2532, having made peaceG1517 throughG1223 the bloodG129 of hisG846 crossG4716, byG1223 himG846 to reconcileG604 all thingsG3956 untoG1519 himselfG846; byG1223 himG846, I say, whetherG1535 they be things inG1909 earthG1093, orG1535 things inG1722 heavenG3772. {having…: or, making}
AndG2532 youG5209, that wereG5607 sometimeG4218 alienatedG526 andG2532 enemiesG2190 in your mindG1271 byG1722 wickedG4190 worksG2041, yetG1161 nowG3570 hath he reconciledG604 {in…: or, by your mind in}
ButG1161 weG2249 are boundG3784 to give thanksG2168 alwayG3842 to GodG2316 forG4012 youG5216, brethrenG80 belovedG25 ofG5259 the LordG2962, becauseG3754 GodG2316 hathG138 fromG575 the beginningG746 chosenG138 youG5209 toG1519 salvationG4991 throughG1722 sanctificationG38 of the SpiritG4151 andG2532 beliefG4102 of the truthG225:
WhereuntoG1519+G3739 he calledG2564 youG5209 byG1223 ourG2257 gospelG2098, toG1519 the obtainingG4047 of the gloryG1391 of ourG2257 LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547.
BlessedG2128 be the GodG2316 andG2532 FatherG3962 of ourG2257 LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, whichG3588 according toG2596 hisG846 abundantG4183 mercyG1656 hath begottenG313 usG2248 againG313 untoG1519 a livelyG2198 hopeG1680 byG1223 the resurrectionG386 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547 fromG1537 the deadG3498, {abundant: Gr. much}
