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.

And refusedH3985 to obeyH8085, neither were mindfulH2142 of thy wondersH6381 that thou didstH6213 among them; but hardenedH7185 their necksH6203, and in their rebellionH4805 appointedH5414 a captainH7218 to returnH7725 to their bondageH5659: but thou art a GodH433 ready to pardonH5547, graciousH2587 and mercifulH7349, slowH750 to angerH639, and of greatH7227 kindnessH2617, and forsookestH5800 them not. {a God…: Heb. a God of pardons}

MyG3450 brethrenG80, beG1096 notG3361 manyG4183 mastersG1320, knowingG1492 thatG3754 we shall receiveG2983 the greaterG3187 condemnationG2917. {condemnation: or, judgment}
He that is soonH7116 angryH639 dealethH6213 foolishlyH200: and a manH376 of wicked devicesH4209 is hatedH8130.
And all the peopleH5971 went their wayH3212 to eatH398, and to drinkH8354, and to sendH7971 portionsH4490, and to makeH6213 greatH1419 mirthH8057, because they had understoodH995 the wordsH1697 that were declaredH3045 unto them.
And on the secondH8145 dayH3117 were gathered togetherH622 the chiefH7218 of the fathersH1 of all the peopleH5971, the priestsH3548, and the LevitesH3881, unto EzraH5830 the scribeH5608, even to understandH7919 the wordsH1697 of the lawH8451. {to understand…: or, that they might instruct in the words of the law}

ForG1063 in many thingsG4183 we offendG4417 allG537. If any manG1536 offendG4417 notG3756 inG1722 wordG3056, the sameG3778 is a perfectG5046 manG435, and ableG1415 alsoG2532 to bridleG5468 the wholeG3650 bodyG4983.
He that is slowH750 to wrathH639 is of greatH7227 understandingH8394: but he that is hastyH7116 of spiritH7307 exaltethH7311 follyH200. {hasty…: Heb. short of spirit}
Also dayH3117 by dayH3117, from the firstH7223 dayH3117 unto the lastH314 dayH3117, he readH7121 in the bookH5612 of the lawH8451 of GodH430. And they keptH6213 the feastH2282 sevenH7651 daysH3117; and on the eighthH8066 dayH3117 was a solemn assemblyH6116, according unto the mannerH4941. {a solemn…: Heb. a restraint}
In the multitudeH7230 of wordsH1697 there wantethH2308 not sinH6588: but he that refrainethH2820 his lipsH8193 is wiseH7919.
A wrathfulH2534 manH376 stirreth upH1624 strifeH4066: but he that is slowH750 to angerH639 appeasethH8252 strifeH7379.
And they stood upH6965 in their placeH5977, and readH7121 in the bookH5612 of the lawH8451 of the LORDH3068 their GodH430 one fourth partH7243 of the dayH3117; and another fourth partH7243 they confessedH3034, and worshippedH7812 the LORDH3068 their GodH430.
He that keepethH5341 his mouthH6310 keepethH8104 his lifeH5315: but he that openeth wideH6589 his lipsH8193 shall have destructionH4288.
He that is slowH750 to angerH639 is betterH2896 than the mightyH1368; and he that rulethH4910 his spiritH7307 than he that takethH3920 a cityH5892.
Now therefore hearkenH8085 unto me, O ye childrenH1121: for blessedH835 are they that keepH8104 my waysH1870.
HearH8085 instructionH4148, and be wiseH2449, and refuseH6544 it not.
BlessedH835 is the manH120 that hearethH8085 me, watchingH8245 dailyH3117+H3117 at my gatesH1817, waitingH8104 at the postsH4201 of my doorsH6607.

The tongueH3956 of the wiseH2450 useth knowledgeH1847 arightH3190: but the mouthH6310 of foolsH3684 poureth outH5042 foolishnessH200. {poureth: Heb. belcheth, or, bubbleth}
The beginningH7225 of strifeH4066 is as when one letteth outH6362 waterH4325: therefore leave offH5203 contentionH7379, beforeH6440 it be meddledH1566 with.
KeepH8104 thy footH7272 when thou goestH3212 to the houseH1004 of GodH430, and be more readyH7138 to hearH8085, than to giveH5414 the sacrificeH2077 of foolsH3684: for they considerH3045 not that they doH6213 evilH7451.
He that hathH3045 knowledgeH1847 sparethH2820 his wordsH561: and a manH376 of understandingH8394 is of an excellentH3368+H7119 spiritH7307. {an…: or, a cool}
The discretionH7922 of a manH120 deferrethH748 his angerH639; and it is his gloryH8597 to pass overH5674 a transgressionH6588. {discretion: or, prudence}
AndG2532 straightwayG2112 manyG4183 were gathered togetherG4863, insomuch thatG5620 there wasG5562 noG3371 room to receiveG5562 them, no, not so muchG3366 as aboutG4314 the doorG2374: andG2532 he preachedG2980 the wordG3056 unto themG846.
He that answerethH7725 a matterH1697 before he hearethH8085 it, it is follyH200 and shameH3639 unto him. {answereth…: Heb. returneth a word}
A manH1419 of greatH1632 wrathH2534 shall sufferH5375 punishmentH6066: for if thou deliverH5337 him, yet thou must do it againH3254. {do: Heb. add}
DavidG1138 thereforeG3767 himselfG846 callethG3004 himG846 LordG2962; andG2532 whenceG4159 is heG2076 then hisG846 sonG5207? AndG2532 the commonG4183 peopleG3793 heardG191 himG846 gladlyG2234.
DeathH4194 and lifeH2416 are in the powerH3027 of the tongueH3956: and they that loveH157 it shall eatH398 the fruitH6529 thereof.
HeH376 that hath no ruleH4623 over his own spiritH7307 is like a cityH5892 that is broken downH6555, and without wallsH2346.
ThenG1161 drew nearG2258+G1448 unto himG846 allG3956 the publicansG5057 andG2532 sinnersG268 for to hearG191 himG846.
Whoso keepethH8104 his mouthH6310 and his tongueH3956 keepethH8104 his soulH5315 from troublesH6869.
BetterH2896 is the endH319 of a thingH1697 than the beginningH7225 thereof: and the patientH750 in spiritH7307 is betterH2896 than the proudH1362 in spiritH7307.
AndG2532 couldG2147 notG3756 findG2147 whatG5101 they might doG4160: forG1063 allG537 the peopleG2992 were very attentiveG1582 to hearG191 himG846. {were…: or, hanged on him}
Be not rashH926 with thy mouthH6310, and let not thine heartH3820 be hastyH4116 to utterH3318 any thingH1697 beforeH6440 GodH430: for GodH430 is in heavenH8064, and thou upon earthH776: therefore let thy wordsH1697 be fewH4592. {thing: or, word}
Be not hastyH926 in thy spiritH7307 to be angryH3707: for angerH3708 restethH5117 in the bosomH2436 of foolsH3684.
AndG1161 they continuedG2258 stedfastlyG4342 in the apostles'G652 doctrineG1322 andG2532 fellowshipG2842, andG2532 in breakingG2800 of breadG740, andG2532 in prayersG4335.
For a dreamH2472 comethH935 through the multitudeH7230 of businessH6045; and a fool'sH3684 voiceH6963 is known by multitudeH7230 of wordsH1697.
ButG1161 IG1473 sayG3004 unto youG5213, ThatG3754 whosoeverG3956 is angryG3710 with hisG846 brotherG80 without a causeG1500 shall beG2071 in dangerG1777 of the judgmentG2920: andG1161 whosoeverG3739+G302 shall sayG2036 to hisG846 brotherG80, RacaG4469, shall beG2071 in dangerG1777 of the councilG4892: butG1161 whosoeverG3739+G302 shall sayG2036, Thou foolG3474, shall beG2071 in dangerG1777 ofG1519 hellG1067 fireG4442. {Raca: that is, Vain fellow}
ImmediatelyG1824 thereforeG3767 I sentG3992 toG4314 theeG4571; andG5037 thouG4771 hast wellG2573 doneG4160 that thou art comeG3854. NowG3568 thereforeG3767 areG3918 weG2249 allG3956 here presentG3918 beforeG1799 GodG2316, to hearG191 all thingsG3956 that are commandedG4367 theeG4671 ofG5259 GodG2316.
IdolatryG1495, witchcraftG5331, hatredG2189, varianceG2054, emulationsG2205, wrathG2372, strifeG2052, seditionsG1370, heresiesG139,
AndG1161 when the JewsG2453 were goneG1826 out ofG1537 the synagogueG4864, the GentilesG1484 besoughtG3870 that theseG5023 wordsG4487 might be preachedG2980 to themG846+G1519 the nextG3342 sabbathG4521. {the next…: Gr. in the week between, or, in the sabbath between}
NowG1161 when the congregationG4864 was broken upG3089, manyG4183 of the JewsG2453 andG2532 religiousG4576 proselytesG4339 followedG190 PaulG3972 andG2532 BarnabasG921: whoG3748, speakingG4354 to themG846, persuadedG3982 themG846 to continueG1961 in the graceG5485 of GodG2316.
AndG1161 the nextG2064 sabbath dayG4521 cameG4863 almostG4975 the wholeG3956 cityG4172 togetherG4863 to hearG191 the wordG3056 of GodG2316.
EnvyingsG5355, murdersG5408, drunkennessG3178, revellingsG2970, andG2532 suchG5125 likeG3664: of the whichG3739 I tellG4302 youG5213 beforeG4302, asG2531 I haveG4277 alsoG2532 told you in time pastG4277, thatG3754 they which doG4238 such thingsG5108 shallG2816 notG3756 inheritG2816 the kingdomG932 of GodG2316.
AndG1161 when the GentilesG1484 heard thisG191, they were gladG5463, andG2532 glorifiedG1392 the wordG3056 of the LordG2962: andG2532 as many asG3745 wereG2258 ordainedG5021 toG1519 eternalG166 lifeG2222 believedG4100.
Be ye angryG3710, andG2532 sinG264 notG3361: letG1931 notG3361 the sunG2246 go downG1931 uponG1909 yourG5216 wrathG3950:
TheseG3778 wereG2258 more nobleG2104 than those inG1722 ThessalonicaG2332, in that theyG3748 receivedG1209 the wordG3056 withG3326 allG3956 readiness of mindG4288, and searchedG350 the scripturesG1124 dailyG2250+G2596, whetherG1487 those thingsG5023 wereG2192 soG3779.
LetG142 allG3956 bitternessG4088, andG2532 wrathG2372, andG2532 angerG3709, andG2532 clamourG2906, andG2532 evil speakingG988, be put awayG142 fromG575 youG5216, withG4862 allG3956 maliceG2549:
For thisG5124 causeG1223 alsoG2532 thankG2168 weG2249 GodG2316 without ceasingG89, becauseG3754, when ye receivedG3880 the wordG3056 of GodG2316 which ye heardG189 ofG3844 usG2257, ye receivedG1209 it notG3756 as the wordG3056 of menG444, butG235 asG2531 it isG2076 in truthG230, the wordG3056 of GodG2316, whichG3739 effectually workethG1754 alsoG2532 inG1722 youG5213 that believeG4100.
