¹ JAKUB, a servant of Aloha and of our Lord Jeshu Meshiha, unto the twelve tribes who are dispersed among the nations: Peace. ² All joy shall be to you, my brethren, when you shall have entered into temptations many and various. ³ For you know that the proving of faith maketh you to possess patience; ⁴ but to patience let there be a perfect work, that you may be complete and perfected, and in nothing be deficient. ⁵ If any of you be deficient in wisdom, let him ask of Aloha, who giveth to all expansively, and upbraideth not, and it is given to him. ⁶ But let him ask in faith, not wavering.[Or, not being divided.] For he who wavereth is like the waves of the sea which the wind disturbeth. ⁷ And let not that man expect to receive any thing from the Lord, ⁸ who is divided in his mind, and disturbed in all his ways. ⁹ But let the humble brother glory in his exaltation, ¹⁰ and the rich in his humility; for as the flower of an herb, so he passeth. ¹¹ For the sun ariseth in his heat, and drieth the herb, and the flower of it falleth, and the beauty of its appearance perisheth; so also the rich withereth in his reverses. ¹² Blessed the man who endureth temptations: for when he hath been proved he shall receive the crown of life, which Aloha hath promised unto them who love him. ¹³ Let no man say, when he is tempted, From Aloha I am tempted; for Aloha is not tempted with evils, and he no man tempteth. ¹⁴ But each man from his concupiscence tempteth himself, and desireth, and is drawn away. ¹⁵ And this desire conceiveth and beareth sin; and sin, when it is perfected, beareth death. ¹⁶ Do not err, my beloved brethren; ¹⁷ every good gift and perfect from above descendeth, from the Father of lights, with whom is no alteration, nor the shadow of vicissitude. ¹⁸ He willed, and begat us by the word of truth, that we might be the first-ones of his creatures. ¹⁹ And you, my beloved brethren, let every one of you be swift to hear, and slow to speak, and slow to be angry; ²⁰ for the wrath of man the righteousness of Aloha worketh not. ²¹ Wherefore, remove from you all impurity and the abounding of wickedness, and with meekness receive the word which is engrafted in our nature, which is able to save your souls. ²² BUT be doers of the word, and not hearers only, neither deceive yourselves. ²³ For if a man be a hearer of the word and not a doer of it, this (man) is like one who vieweth his face in a mirror; ²⁴ for he seeth himself and passeth, and hath forgotten what (manner of person) he was. ²⁵ But every one who looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he is not a hearer of the hearing of forgetfulness, but a doer of works; and this shall be blessed in his work. ²⁶ And if a man thinketh that he serveth [Or, ministereth.] Aloha, and holdeth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, of this man his service is vain. ²⁷ For the service [Teshmeshtho, ministry.] which is pure and true before Aloha the Father, is this, to visit the orphans and widows in their afflictions, and that a man keep himself from the world without blemish.

¹ Wherefore we also, having all these witnesses, who as clouds encompass us, will set ourselves loose from every weight, and [Also.] the sin which at all time is prepared for us, and with perseverance will we run this race [Agony.] which is appointed to us. ² And let us look unto Jeshu, who hath become the chief and the perfecter of our faith; who, for the joy that was before him, endured the cross, and unto shame delivered himself, and at the right hand of the throne of Aloha hath sat down.

⁵ And he said to them, Who of you that has a friend, and shall go to him at midnight,[The dividing of the night.] and shall say to him, My friend, lend me three loaves, ⁶ because a friend has come to me from the way, and I have nothing to set to him? ⁷ and that friend from within shall answer and say unto him, Disturb me not, for the door is shut, and my children are with me in bed: I cannot rise and give to you. ⁸ I tell you if for friendship's sake he will not give him, (yet) because of importunity he will arise and give him as many as he needeth. ⁹ I say also to you, Ask, and it shall be given to you; seek, and you shall find; knock, and it shall be opened to you. ¹⁰ For every one who asketh receiveth, and who seeketh findeth, and who knocketh hath it opened to him.

¹ AND he spake also a parable to them, that in all time (men) should pray and not weary. ² There was a judge in a certain city who of Aloha was not afraid, and of men was not regardful. ³ But a certain widow was in that city, who came to him, saying, Avenge me of my adversary. ⁴ And he was not willing long time; but afterward he said within himself, If of Aloha I am not afraid, and of men am not regardful, ⁵ yet, because this widow wearies me, I will avenge her, that in all time she come not molesting me. ⁶ And our Lord said, Hear what saith the unrighteous judge. ⁷ But shall not Aloha do vengeance for his chosen, who cry to him by day and by night, and prolong his spirit towards [Or, upon them.] them? ⁸ I tell you he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless, when the Son of man shall come, will he find faith upon the earth?

⁹ I say also to you, Ask, and it shall be given to you; seek, and you shall find; knock, and it shall be opened to you. ¹⁰ For every one who asketh receiveth, and who seeketh findeth, and who knocketh hath it opened to him.

⁹ And while we do that which is good, let it not weary us; for the time will be when we shall reap, and it will not weary us.
