¹ James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, sends words of love to the twelve tribes of the Jews living in all parts of the earth. ² Let it be all joy to you, my brothers, when you undergo tests of every sort; ³ Because you have the knowledge that the testing of your faith gives you the power of going on in hope; ⁴ But let this power have its full effect, so that you may be made complete, needing nothing. ⁵ But if any man among you is without wisdom, let him make his request to God, who gives freely to all without an unkind word, and it will be given to him. ⁶ Let him make his request in faith, doubting nothing; for he who has doubt in his heart is like the waves of the sea, which are troubled by the driving of the wind. ⁷ Let it not seem to such a man that he will get anything from the Lord; ⁸ For there is a division in his mind, and he is uncertain in all his ways. ⁹ But let the brother of low position be glad that he is lifted up; ¹⁰ But the man of wealth, that he is made low; because like the flower of the grass he will come to his end. ¹¹ For when the sun comes up with its burning heat, the grass gets dry and the grace of its form is gone with the falling flower; so the man of wealth comes to nothing in his ways. ¹² There is a blessing on the man who undergoes testing; because, if he has God's approval, he will be given the crown of life, which the Lord has said he will give to those who have love for him. ¹³ Let no man say when he is tested, I am tested by God; for it is not possible for God to be tested by evil, and he himself puts no man to such a test: ¹⁴ But every man is tested when he is turned out of the right way by the attraction of his desire. ¹⁵ Then when its time comes, desire gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is of full growth, gives birth to death. ¹⁶ Do not be turned from the right way, dear brothers. ¹⁷ Every good and true thing is given to us from heaven, coming from the Father of lights, with whom there is no change or any shade made by turning. ¹⁸ Of his purpose he gave us being, by his true word, so that we might be, in a sense, the first-fruits of all the things which he had made. ¹⁹ You have knowledge of this, dear brothers. But let every man be quick in hearing, slow in words, slow to get angry; ²⁰ For the righteousness of God does not come about by the wrath of man. ²¹ For this reason, putting away all dirty behaviour and the overweight of evil, take into your souls without pride the word which, being planted there, is able to give you salvation. ²² But be doers of the word, and not only hearers of it, blinding yourselves with false ideas. ²³ Because if any man is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man looking at his natural face in a glass; ²⁴ For after looking at himself he goes away, and in a short time he has no memory of what he was like. ²⁵ But he who goes on looking into the true law which makes him free, being not a hearer without memory but a doer putting it into effect, this man will have a blessing on his acts. ²⁶ If a man seems to have religion and has no control over his tongue but lets himself be tricked by what is false, this man's religion is of no value. ²⁷ The religion which is holy and free from evil in the eyes of our God and Father is this: to take care of children who have no fathers and of widows who are in trouble, and to keep oneself untouched by the world.

¹⁶ Every holy Writing which comes from God is of profit for teaching, for training, for guiding, for education in righteousness:

¹ Who would have had faith in the word which has come to our ears, and to whom had the arm of the Lord been unveiled? ² For his growth was like that of a delicate plant before him, and like a root out of a dry place: he had no grace of form, to give us pleasure; ³ Men made sport of him, turning away from him; he was a man of sorrows, marked by disease; and like one from whom men's faces are turned away, he was looked down on, and we put no value on him. ⁴ But it was our pain he took, and our diseases were put on him: while to us he seemed as one diseased, on whom God's punishment had come. ⁵ But it was for our sins he was wounded, and for our evil doings he was crushed: he took the punishment by which we have peace, and by his wounds we are made well. ⁶ We all went wandering like sheep; going every one of us after his desire; and the Lord put on him the punishment of us all. ⁷ Men were cruel to him, but he was gentle and quiet; as a lamb taken to its death, and as a sheep before those who take her wool makes no sound, so he said not a word. ⁸ They took away from him help and right, and who gave a thought to his fate? for he was cut off from the land of the living: he came to his death for the sin of my people. ⁹ And they put his body into the earth with sinners, and his last resting-place was with the evil-doers, though he had done no wrong, and no deceit was in his mouth. ¹⁰ And the Lord was pleased (UNTRANSLATED TEXT) see a seed, long life, (UNTRANSLATED TEXT) will do well in his hand (UNTRANSLATED TEXT) . ¹¹ (UNTRANSLATED TEXT) made clear his righteousness before men (UNTRANSLATED TEXT) had taken their sins on himself. ¹² For this cause he will have a heritage with the great, and he will have a part in the goods of war with the strong, because he gave up his life, and was numbered with the evil-doers; taking on himself the sins of the people, and making prayer for the wrongdoers.

¹¹ For I am conscious of my thoughts about you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you hope at the end.

¹⁸ With prayers and deep desires, making requests at all times in the Spirit, and keeping watch, with strong purpose, in prayer for all the saints,

¹² For the word of God is living and full of power, and is sharper than any two-edged sword, cutting through and making a division even of the soul and the spirit, the bones and the muscles, and quick to see the thoughts and purposes of the heart.

¹ O give praise to the Lord, for he is good: for his mercy is unchanging for ever. ² Let Israel now say, that his mercy is unchanging for ever. ³ Let the house of Aaron now say, that his mercy is unchanging for ever. ⁴ Let all worshippers of the Lord now say, that his mercy is unchanging for ever. ⁵ I made my prayer to the Lord in my trouble: and the Lord gave me an answer, and put me in a wide place. ⁶ The Lord is on my side; I will have no fear: what is man able to do to me? ⁷ The Lord is my great helper: I will see my desire against my haters. ⁸ It is better to have faith in the Lord than to put one's hope in man. ⁹ It is better to have faith in the Lord than to put one's hope in rulers. ¹⁰ All the nations have come round me; but in the name of the Lord I will have them cut down. ¹¹ They are round me, yes, they are all about me; but in the name of the Lord I will have them cut down. ¹² They are round me like bees; but they are put out like a fire among thorns; for in the name of the Lord I will have them cut down. ¹³ I have been hard pushed by you, so that I might have a fall: but the Lord was my helper. ¹⁴ The Lord is my strength and my song; he has become my salvation. ¹⁵ The sound of joy and salvation is in the tents of the upright; the right hand of the Lord does works of power. ¹⁶ The right hand of the Lord is lifted up; the right hand of the Lord does works of power. ¹⁷ Life and not death will be my part, and I will give out the story of the works of the Lord. ¹⁸ The hand of Jah has been hard on me; but he has not given me up to death.

¹ Of David. Give praise to the Lord, O my soul; let everything in me give praise to his holy name. ² Give praise to the Lord, O my soul; let not all his blessings go from your memory. ³ He has forgiveness for all your sins; he takes away all your diseases; ⁴ He keeps back your life from destruction, crowning you with mercy and grace. ⁵ He makes your mouth full of good things, so that your strength is made new again like the eagle's. ⁶ The Lord gives decisions in righteousness for all who are in trouble. ⁷ He gave knowledge of his way to Moses, and made his acts clear to the children of Israel. ⁸ The Lord is kind and full of pity, not quickly made angry, but ever ready to have mercy. ⁹ His feeling will no longer be bitter; he will not keep his wrath for ever. ¹⁰ He has not given us the punishment for our sins, or the reward of our wrongdoing. ¹¹ For as the heaven is high over the earth, so great is his mercy to his worshippers. ¹² As far as the east is from the west, so far has he put our sins from us. ¹³ As a father has pity on his children, so the Lord has pity on his worshippers. ¹⁴ For he has knowledge of our feeble frame; he sees that we are only dust. ¹⁵ As for man, his days are as grass: his beautiful growth is like the flower of the field. ¹⁶ The wind goes over it and it is gone; and its place sees it no longer. ¹⁷ But the mercy of the Lord is eternal for his worshippers, and their children's children will see his righteousness; ¹⁸ If they keep his agreement, and have his laws in mind to do them. ¹⁹ The Lord has made ready his high seat in the heavens; his kingdom is ruling over all. ²⁰ Give praise to the Lord, you his angels, who are great in strength, doing his orders, and waiting for his voice. ²¹ Give praise to the Lord, all you his armies; and you his servants who do his pleasure. ²² Give praise to the Lord, all his works, in all places under his rule: give praise to the Lord, O my soul.
