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.

There isH3426 a wayH1870 which seemeth rightH3477 untoH6440 a manH376, but the endH319 thereof are the waysH1870 of deathH4194.
WhereforeG5620, myG3450 belovedG27 brethrenG80, letG2077 everyG3956 manG444 beG2077 swiftG5036 toG1519 hearG191, slowG1021 toG1519 speakG2980, slowG1021 toG1519 wrathG3709:
ButG1161 be yeG1096 doersG4163 of the wordG3056, andG2532 notG3361 hearersG202 onlyG3440, deceivingG3884 your own selvesG1438.
ButG1161 wiltG2309 thou knowG1097, OG5599 vainG2756 manG444, thatG3754 faithG4102 withoutG5565 worksG2041 isG2076 deadG3498?
There isH3426 a wayH1870 that seemeth rightH3477 untoH6440 a manH376, but the endH319 thereof are the waysH1870 of deathH4194.
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.
BeholdG2400, we putG906 bitsG5469 inG1519 the horses'G2462 mouthsG4750, thatG4314 theyG846 may obeyG3982 usG2254; andG2532 we turn aboutG3329 theirG846 wholeG3650 bodyG4983.
BeholdG2400 alsoG2532 the shipsG4143, which though they beG5607 so greatG5082, andG2532 are drivenG1643 ofG5259 fierceG4642 windsG417, yet are they turned aboutG3329 withG5259 a very smallG1646 helmG4079, whithersoeverG3699+G302 the governorG2116 listethG3730+G1014.
EvenG2532 soG3779 the tongueG1100 isG2076 a littleG3398 memberG3196, andG2532 boasteth great thingsG3166. BeholdG2400, how greatG2245 a matterG5208 a littleG3641 fireG4442 kindlethG381! {a matter: or, wood}
AndG2532 the tongueG1100 is a fireG4442, a worldG2889 of iniquityG93: soG3779 isG2525 the tongueG1100 amongG1722 ourG2257 membersG3196, that it defilethG4695 the wholeG3650 bodyG4983, andG2532 setteth on fireG5394 the courseG5164 of natureG1078; andG2532 it is set on fireG5394 ofG5259 hellG1067. {course: Gr. wheel}
Take heedH8104 to yourselves, that your heartH3824 be not deceivedH6601, and ye turn asideH5493, and serveH5647 otherH312 godsH430, and worshipH7812 them;
BringH935 no moreH3254 vainH7723 oblationsH4503; incenseH7004 is an abominationH8441 unto me; the new moonsH2320 and sabbathsH7676, the callingH7121 of assembliesH4744, I cannot away withH3201; it is iniquityH205, even the solemn meetingH6116. {iniquity: or, grief}
Take heedG991 thereforeG3767 howG4459 ye hearG191: forG1063 whosoeverG3739+G302 hathG2192, to himG846 shall be givenG1325; andG2532 whosoeverG3739+G302 hathG2192 notG3361, fromG575 himG846 shall be takenG142 evenG2532 that whichG3739 he seemethG1380 to haveG2192. {seemeth…: or, thinketh that he hath}
Be ye not as the horseH5483, or as the muleH6505, which have no understandingH995: whose mouthH5716 must be heldH1102 in with bitH4964 and bridleH7448, lestH1077 they come nearH7126 unto thee.
He feedethH7462 on ashesH665: a deceivedH2048 heartH3820 hath turned him asideH5186, that he cannot deliverH5337 his soulH5315, nor sayH559, Is there not a lieH8267 in my right handH3225?
Ye have saidH559, It is vainH7723 to serveH5647 GodH430: and what profitH1215 is it that we have keptH8104 his ordinanceH4931, and that we have walkedH1980 mournfullyH6941 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635? {ordinance: Heb. observation} {mournfully: Heb. in black}
LetG1818 no manG3367 deceiveG1818 himselfG1438. If any manG1536 amongG1722 youG5213 seemethG1380 to beG1511 wiseG4680 inG1722 thisG5129 worldG165, let him becomeG1096 a foolG3474, thatG2443 he may beG1096 wiseG4680.
ForG1063 if a manG1536 think himselfG1380 to beG1511 somethingG5100, when he isG5607 nothingG3367, he deceivethG5422 himselfG1438.
ButG1161 in vainG3155 they do worshipG4576 meG3165, teachingG1321 for doctrinesG1319 the commandmentsG1778 of menG444.
ButG1161 ofG575 these who seemedG1380 to beG1511 somewhatG5100, (whatsoeverG3697+G4218 they wereG2258, it makethG1308 noG3762 matterG1308 to meG3427: GodG2316 acceptethG2983 noG3756 man'sG444 personG4383:) forG1063 they who seemedG1380 to be somewhat in conference addedG4323 nothingG3762 to meG1698:
To the chief MusicianH5329, even to JeduthunH3038, A PsalmH4210 of DavidH1732. I saidH559, I will take heedH8104 to my waysH1870, that I sinH2398 not with my tongueH3956: I will keepH8104 my mouthH6310 with a bridleH4269, while the wickedH7563 is before me. {my mouth…: Heb. a bridle, or, muzzle for my mouth}
HowbeitG1161 in vainG3155 do they worshipG4576 meG3165, teachingG1321 for doctrinesG1319 the commandmentsG1778 of menG444.
AndG2532 when JamesG2385+G2532, CephasG2786, andG2532 JohnG2491, whoG3588 seemedG1380 to beG1511 pillarsG4769, perceivedG1097 the graceG5485 that was givenG1325 unto meG3427, they gaveG1325 to meG1698 andG2532 BarnabasG921 the right handsG1188 of fellowshipG2842; thatG2443 weG2249 should go untoG1519 the heathenG1484, andG1161 theyG846 untoG1519 the circumcisionG4061.
I was dumbH481 with silenceH1747, I held my peaceH2814, even from goodH2896; and my sorrowH3511 was stirredH5916. {stirred: Heb. troubled}
ByG1223 whichG3739 alsoG2532 ye are savedG4982, ifG1487 ye keepG2722 in memory whatG5101+G3056 I preachedG2097 unto youG5213, unlessG1622+G1508 ye have believedG4100 in vainG1500. {keep…: or, hold fast} {what: Gr. by what speech}
ForG1063 if a manG1536 think himselfG1380 to beG1511 somethingG5100, when he isG5607 nothingG3367, he deceivethG5422 himselfG1438.
YeaG1161, andG2532 we are foundG2147 false witnessesG5575 of GodG2316; becauseG3754 we have testifiedG3140 ofG2596 GodG2316 thatG3754 he raised upG1453 ChristG5547: whomG3739 he raisedG1453 notG3756 upG1453, ifG1512 so beG686 that the deadG3498 riseG1453 notG3756.
In the multitudeH7230 of wordsH1697 there wantethH2308 not sinH6588: but he that refrainethH2820 his lipsH8193 is wiseH7919.
Have ye sufferedG3958 so many thingsG5118 in vainG1500? if it be yetG1489+G2532 in vainG1500. {so many: or, so great}
The mouthH6310 of the justH6662 bringeth forthH5107 wisdomH2451: but the frowardH8419 tongueH3956 shall be cut outH3772.
A manH376 shall eatH398 goodH2896 by the fruitH6529 of his mouthH6310: but the soulH5315 of the transgressorsH898 shall eat violenceH2555.
He that keepethH5341 his mouthH6310 keepethH8104 his lifeH5315: but he that openeth wideH6589 his lipsH8193 shall have destructionH4288.
The tongueH3956 of the wiseH2450 useth knowledgeH1847 arightH3190: but the mouthH6310 of foolsH3684 poureth outH5042 foolishnessH200. {poureth: Heb. belcheth, or, bubbleth}
A divine sentenceH7081 is in the lipsH8193 of the kingH4428: his mouthH6310 transgressethH4603 not in judgmentH4941. {A divine…: Heb. Divination}
BetterH2896 is the poorH7326 that walkethH1980 in his integrityH8537, than he that is perverseH6141 in his lipsH8193, and is a foolH3684.
He covetethH183 greedilyH8378 all the dayH3117 long: but the righteousH6662 givethH5414 and sparethH2820 not.
LetG4550 noG3361+G3956 corruptG4550 communicationG3056 proceedG1607 out ofG1537 yourG5216 mouthG4750, butG235 that whichG1536 is goodG18 toG4314 the useG5532 of edifyingG3619, thatG2443 it may ministerG1325 graceG5485 unto the hearersG191. {to…: or, to edify profitably}
NeitherG2532 filthinessG151, norG2532 foolish talkingG3473, norG2228 jestingG2160, whichG3588 areG433 notG3756 convenientG433: butG235 ratherG3123 giving of thanksG2169.
