¹ James, the servant of God, and of the Lord Jesus Christ, sendeth greeting to the twelve tribes which are scattered here and there. ² My brethren, count it exceeding joy when ye fall into divers temptations, ³ forasmuch as ye know how that the trying of your faith bringeth patience: ⁴ and let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and sound, lacking nothing. ⁵ If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, which giveth to all men indifferently and casteth no man in the teeth; and it shall be given him. ⁶ But let him ask in faith, and waver not. For he that doubteth is like the waves of the sea, tossed of the wind, and carried with violence. ⁷ Neither let that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord. ⁸ A wavering minded man is unstable in all his ways. ⁹ Let the brother of low degree rejoice in that he is exalted, ¹⁰ and the rich in that he is made low. For even as the flower of the grass shall he vanish away. ¹¹ The sun riseth with heat, and the grass withereth and his flower falleth away, and the beauty of the fashion of it perisheth: even so shall the rich man perish with his abundance. ¹² Happy is the man that endureth in temptation, for when he is tried he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him. ¹³ Let no man say when he is tempted that he is tempted of God: for God tempteth not unto evil, neither tempteth he any man. ¹⁴ But every man is tempted, drawn away, and enticed of his own concupiscence. ¹⁵ Then when lust hath conceived, she bringeth forth sin, and sin when it is finished bringeth forth death. ¹⁶ Err not, my dear brethren. ¹⁷ Every good gift, and every perfect gift, is from above and cometh down from the father of light, with whom is no variableness, neither is he changed unto darkness. ¹⁸ Of his own will begat he us with the word of life, that we should be the first fruits of his creatures. ¹⁹ Wherefore, dear brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, and slow to wrath. ²⁰ For the wrath of man worketh not that which is righteous before God. ²¹ Wherefore lay apart all filthiness, all superfluity of maliciousness, and receive with meekness the word that is grafted in you, which is able to save your souls: ²² And see that ye be doers of the word and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves with sophistry. ²³ For if any hear the word, and do it not, he is like unto a man that beholdeth his bodily face in a glass. ²⁴ For as soon as he hath looked on himself, he goeth his way, and forgetteth immediately what his fashion was: ²⁵ but whoso looketh in the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein — if he be not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work — the same shall be happy in his deed. ²⁶ If any man among you seem devout, and refrain not his tongue: but deceive his own heart, this man's devotion is in vain. ²⁷ Pure devotion, and undefiled before God the father, is this: To visit the friendless, and widows in their adversity, and to keep himself unspotted of the world.

²⁶ But that comforter, which is the holy ghost — whom my father will send in my name — he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance whatsoever I have told you.
