The Letter of James
CHAPTER 1
James 1:1
1 James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve
tribes which are scattered abroad, greeting. James 1:2
2 My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations; James 1:3
3 Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience. James 1:4
4 But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and
entire, wanting nothing.
James 1:5
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. James 1:6
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. James 1:7
7 For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord. James 1:8
8 A double minded man is unstable in all his ways. James 1:9
9 Let the brother of low degree rejoice in that he is exalted: James 1:10
10 But the rich, in that he is made low: because as the flower of the grass
he shall pass away.
James 1:11
11 For the sun 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. James 1:12
12 Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he
shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that
love him.
James 1:13
13 Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot
be tempted with evil, neither tempteth  he any man: James 1:14
14 But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed.
James 1:15
15 Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it
is finished, bringeth forth death.
James 1:16
16 Do not err, my beloved brethren. James 1:17
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.
James 1:18
18 Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth, that we should be a
kind offirstfruits of his creatures. James 1:19
19 Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to
speak, slow to wrath:
James 1:20
20 For the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God. James 1:21
21 Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and
receive with meekness the engrafted word, which  is able to save your
souls. James 1:22
22 But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.
James 1:23
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: James 1:24
24 For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth
what manner of man he was.
James 1:25
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.
James 1:26
26 If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue,
but deceiveth his own  heart, this man's religion is vain. James 1:27
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.
CHAPTER 2
James 2:1
1 My brethren, have not the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of
glory, with respect of persons.
James 2:2
2 For if there come unto your assembly a man with a gold ring, in goodly
apparel, and there come in  also a poor man in vile raiment; James 2:3
3 And ye have respect to him that weareth the gay clothing, and say unto
him, Sit thou here in a good place;  and say to the poor, Stand thou there,
or sit here under my footstool:
James 2:4
4 Are ye not then partial in yourselves, and are become judges of evil thoughts?
James 2:5
5 Hearken, my beloved brethren, Hath not God chosen the poor of this world
rich in  faith, and heirs of the kingdom which he hath promised to them
that love him?
James 2:6
6 But ye have despised the poor. Do not rich men oppress you, and draw you
before  the judgment seats?
James 2:7
7 Do not they blaspheme that worthy name by the which ye are called? James 2:8
8 If ye fulfil the royal law according to the scripture, Thou shalt love
thy neighbour as thyself, ye do well:
James 2:9
9 But if ye have respect to persons, ye commit sin, and are convinced of
the law as transgressors.
James 2:10
10 For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he
is guilty of all.
James 2:11
11 For he that said, Do not commit adultery, said also, Do not kill. Now if
thou commit  no adultery, yet if thou kill, thou art become a transgressor
of the law.
James 2:12
12 So speak ye, and so do, as they that shall be judged by the law of liberty.
James 2:13
13 For he shall have judgment without mercy, that hath shewed no mercy; and
mercy rejoiceth against judgment.
James 2:14
14 What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and
have not works? can faith save him? James 2:15
15 If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food, James 2:16
16 And one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be ye warmed and filled;
notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the
body; what doth it profit?
James 2:17
17 Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone. James 2:18
18 Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith
without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works. James 2:19
19 Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also
believe, and tremble.
James 2:20
20 But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead? James 2:21
21 Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he had offered Isaac
his son upon  the altar?
James 2:22
22 Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect?
James 2:23
23 And the scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed God, and
it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and  he was called the Friend of
God.
James 2:24
24 Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only.
James 2:25
25 Likewise also was not Rahab the harlot justified by works, when she had
received the messengers, and had sent them out another way? James 2:26
26 For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead  also.
