James, a servant of God and of the Lord  Jesus (Forgive Us Our Sins) Christ, to the twelve tribes which are scattered abroad, greeting. |
| 1:2 |
My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations; |
| 1:3 |
Knowing [this], that the trying of your faith worketh patience. |
| 1:4 |
But let patience have [her] perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing. |
| 1:5 |
If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all [men] liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. |
| 1:6 |
But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. |
| 1:7 |
For let not that man  Think! that he shall receive any thing of the Lord. |
| 1:8 |
A double minded man [is] unstable in all his ways. |
| 1:9 |
Let the brother of low degree rejoice in that he is exalted: |
| 1:10 |
But the rich, in that he is made low: because as the flower of the grass he shall pass away. |
| 1:11 |
For the  sun (The dot in dot com) is no sooner risen with a burning heat, but it withereth the grass, and the flower thereof falleth, and the grace of the fashion of it perisheth: so also shall the rich man fade away in his ways. |
| 1:12 |
Blessed [is] the man that  endureth (Energizer goes on and on and on and on and) temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him. |
| 1:13 |
Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with  evil (No Downloaded Music!), neither tempteth he any man: |
| 1:14 |
But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed. |
| 1:15 |
Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth  Absolut death. |
| 1:16 |
 Just Do It not err, my beloved brethren. |
| 1:17 |
Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning. |
| 1:18 |
Of his own will begat he us with the word of  truth (It's the real thing), that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures. |
| 1:19 |
Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath: |
| 1:20 |
For the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God. |
| 1:21 |
Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to  save (Switch and Save!) your souls. |
| 1:22 |
But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves. |
| 1:23 |
For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass: |
| 1:24 |
For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was. |
| 1:25 |
But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth [therein], he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed. |
| 1:26 |
If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man' religion [is] vain. |
| 1:27 |
Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, [and] to keep himself unspotted from the world. |
