| The Book of James 1 | ||||||||||||||||
| The Darby Online Bible (DBY) | ||||||||||||||||
| James 1:1 | James, bondman of God and of [the] Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which [are] in the dispersion, greeting. | |||||||||||||||
| James 1:2 | Count it all joy, my brethren, when ye fall into various temptations, | |||||||||||||||
| James 1:3 | knowing that the proving of your faith works endurance. | |||||||||||||||
| James 1:4 | But let endurance have [its] perfect work, that ye may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing. | |||||||||||||||
| James 1:5 | But if any one of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all freely and reproaches not, and it shall be given to him: | |||||||||||||||
| James 1:6 | but let him ask in faith, nothing doubting. For he that doubts is like a wave of the sea driven by the wind and tossed about; | |||||||||||||||
| James 1:7 | for let not that man think that he shall receive anything from the Lord; | |||||||||||||||
| James 1:8 | [he is] a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways. | |||||||||||||||
| James 1:9 | But let the brother of low degree glory in his elevation, | |||||||||||||||
| James 1:10 | and the rich in his humiliation, because as [the] grass's flower he will pass away. | |||||||||||||||
| James 1:11 | For the sun has risen with its burning heat, and has withered the grass, and its flower has fallen, and the comeliness of its look has perished: thus the rich also shall wither in his goings. | |||||||||||||||
| James 1:12 | Blessed [is the] man who endures temptation; for, having been proved, he shall receive the crown of life, which He has promised to them that love him. | |||||||||||||||
| James 1:13 | Let no man, being tempted, say, I am tempted of God. For God cannot be tempted by evil things, and himself tempts no one. | |||||||||||||||
| James 1:14 | But every one is tempted, drawn away, and enticed by his own lust; | |||||||||||||||
| James 1:15 | then lust, having conceived, gives birth to sin; but sin fully completed brings forth death. | |||||||||||||||
| James 1:16 | Do not err, my beloved brethren. | |||||||||||||||
| James 1:17 | Every good gift and every perfect gift comes down from above, from the Father of lights, with whom is no variation nor shadow of turning. | |||||||||||||||
| James 1:18 | According to his own will begat he us by the word of truth, that we should be a certain first-fruits of *his* creatures. | |||||||||||||||
| James 1:19 | So that, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath; | |||||||||||||||
| James 1:20 | for man's wrath does not work God's righteousness. | |||||||||||||||
| James 1:21 | Wherefore, laying aside all filthiness and abounding of wickedness, accept with meekness the implanted word, which is able to save your souls. | |||||||||||||||
| James 1:22 | But be ye doers of [the] word and not hearers only, beguiling yourselves. | |||||||||||||||
| James 1:23 | For if any man be a hearer of [the] word and not a doer, *he* is like to a man considering his natural face in a mirror: | |||||||||||||||
| James 1:24 | for he has considered himself and is gone away, and straightway he has forgotten what he was like. | |||||||||||||||
| James 1:25 | But *he* that fixes his view on [the] perfect law, that of liberty, and abides in [it], being not a forgetful hearer but a doer of [the] work, *he* shall be blessed in his doing. | |||||||||||||||
| James 1:26 | If any one think himself to be religious, not bridling his tongue, but deceiving his heart, this man's religion is vain. | |||||||||||||||
| James 1:27 | Pure and undefiled religion before God and the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their affliction, to keep oneself unspotted from the world. | |||||||||||||||
