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.

WhatG5101 doth it profitG3786, myG3450 brethrenG80, thoughG1437 a manG5100 sayG3004 he hathG2192 faithG4102, andG1161 haveG2192 notG3361 worksG2041? canG1410+G3361 faithG4102 saveG4982 himG846?
IfG1437+G1161 a brotherG80 orG2228 sisterG79 beG5225 nakedG1131, andG2532 destituteG3007+G5600 of dailyG2184 foodG5160,
AndG1161 oneG5100 ofG1537 youG5216 sayG2036 unto themG846, DepartG5217 inG1722 peaceG1515, be ye warmedG2328 andG2532 filledG5526; notwithstandingG1161 ye giveG1325 themG846 notG3361 those things which are needfulG2006 to the bodyG4983; whatG5101 doth it profitG3786?
EvenG2532 soG3779 faithG4102, ifG3362 it hathG2192 notG3362 worksG2041, isG2076 deadG3498, being aloneG2596+G1438. {alone: Gr. by itself}
YeaG235, a manG5100 may sayG2046, ThouG4771 hastG2192 faithG4102, and IG2504 haveG2192 worksG2041: shewG1166 meG3427 thyG4675 faithG4102 withoutG1537 thyG4675 worksG2041, and IG2504 will shewG1166 theeG4671 myG3450 faithG4102 byG1537 myG3450 worksG2041. {without: some copies read, by}
ThouG4771 believestG4100 thatG3754 there isG2076 oneG1520 GodG2316; thou doestG4160 wellG2573: the devilsG1140 alsoG2532 believeG4100, andG2532 trembleG5425.
ButG1161 wiltG2309 thou knowG1097, OG5599 vainG2756 manG444, thatG3754 faithG4102 withoutG5565 worksG2041 isG2076 deadG3498?
WasG1344 notG3756 AbrahamG11 ourG2257 fatherG3962 justifiedG1344 byG1537 worksG2041, when he had offeredG399 IsaacG2464 hisG846 sonG5207 uponG1909 the altarG2379?
Seest thouG991 howG3754 faithG4102 wroughtG4903 with hisG846 worksG2041, andG2532 byG1537 worksG2041 wasG5048 faithG4102 made perfectG5048? {Seest…: or, Thou seest}
AndG2532 the scriptureG1124 was fulfilledG4137 which saithG3004+G1161, AbrahamG11 believedG4100 GodG2316, andG2532 it was imputedG3049 unto himG846 forG1519 righteousnessG1343: andG2532 he was calledG2564 the FriendG5384 of GodG2316.
Ye seeG3708 thenG5106 how thatG3754 byG1537 worksG2041 a manG444 is justifiedG1344, andG2532 notG3756 byG1537 faithG4102 onlyG3440.
LikewiseG3668+G1161 alsoG2532 wasG1344 notG3756 RahabG4460 the harlotG4204 justifiedG1344 byG1537 worksG2041, when she had receivedG5264 the messengersG32, andG2532 had sent them outG1544 anotherG2087 wayG3598?
ForG1063 asG5618 the bodyG4983 withoutG5565 the spiritG4151 isG2076 deadG3498, soG3779 faithG4102 withoutG5565 worksG2041 isG2076 deadG3498 alsoG2532. {spirit: or, breath}
As for the wordH1697 that thou hast spokenH1696 unto us in the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068, we will not hearkenH8085 unto thee.
And they comeH935 unto thee as the peopleH5971 comethH3996, and they sitH3427 beforeH6440 thee as my peopleH5971, and they hearH8085 thy wordsH1697, but they will not doH6213 them: for with their mouthH6310 they shewH6213 much loveH5690, but their heartH3820 goethH1980 afterH310 their covetousnessH1215. {as the…: Heb. according to the coming of the people} {they sit…: or, my people sit before thee} {they shew…: Heb. they make loves, or, jests}
And, lo, thou art unto them as a very lovelyH5690 songH7892 of one that hath a pleasantH3303 voiceH6963, and can play wellH2895 on an instrumentH5059: for they hearH8085 thy wordsH1697, but they doH6213 them not. {a very…: Heb. a song of loves}
