| 1절 | James, a bondservant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, To the twelve tribes which are scattered abroad： Greetings.
|
| 2절 | My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials,
|
| 3절 | knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience.
|
| 4절 | But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing.
|
| 5절 | If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him.
|
| 6절 | But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind.
|
| 7절 | For let not that man suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord;
|
| 8절 | he is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.
|
| 9절 | Let the lowly brother glory in his exaltation,
|
| 10절 | but the rich in his humiliation, because as a flower of the field he will pass away.
|
| 11절 | For no sooner has the sun risen with a burning heat than it withers the grass; its flower falls, and its beautiful appearance perishes. So the rich man also will fade away in his pursuits.
|
| 12절 | Blessed is the man who endures temptation; for when he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love Him.
|
| 13절 | Let no one say when he is tempted, \"I am tempted by God\"; for God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does He Himself tempt anyone.
|
| 14절 | But each one is tempted when he is drawn away by his own desires and enticed.
|
| 15절 | Then, when desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, brings forth death.
|
| 16절 | Do not be deceived, my beloved brethren.
|
| 17절 | Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning.
|
| 18절 | Of His own will He brought us forth by the word of truth, that we might be a kind of firstfruits of His creatures.
|
| 19절 | So then, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath;
|
| 20절 | for the wrath of man does not produce the righteousness of God.
|
| 21절 | Therefore lay aside all filthiness and overflow of wickedness, and receive with meekness the implanted word, which is able to save your souls.
|
| 22절 | But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.
|
| 23절 | For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man observing his natural face in a mirror;
|
| 24절 | for he observes himself, goes away, and immediately forgets what kind of man he was.
|
| 25절 | But he who looks into the perfect law of liberty and continues in it, and is not a forgetful hearer but a doer of the work, this one will be blessed in what he does.
|
| 26절 | If anyone among you thinks he is religious, and does not bridle his tongue but deceives his own heart, this one\'s religion is useless.
|
| 27절 | Pure and undefiled religion before God and the Father is this： to visit orphans and widows in their trouble, and to keep oneself unspotted from the world.
