1: James,_G2385 of God_G2316 and_G2532 of [the] Lord_G2962 Jesus_G2424 Christ_G5547 a servant,_G1401 To the_G3588 twelve_G1427 tribes_G5443 -_G3588 in_G1722 the_G3588 Dispersion:_G1290 Greetings._G5463

2: All_G3956 joy_G5479 esteem [it],_G2233 brothers_G0080 of me,_G1473 when_G3752 trials_G3986 you might fall into_G4045 various,_G4164

3: knowing_G1097 that_G3754 the_G3588 testing_G1383 of your_G4771 -_G3588 faith_G4102 produces_G2716 endurance._G5281

4: -_G3588 And_G1161 endurance,_G5281 work_G2041 [its] perfect_G5046 let have,_G2192 so that_G2443 you may be_G1510 perfect_G5046 and_G2532 complete,_G3648 in_G1722 nothing_G3367 lacking._G3007

5: If_G1487 now_G1161 any_G5100 of you_G4771 lacks_G3007 wisdom,_G4678 let him ask_G0154 from_G3844 the [One]_G3588 giving,_G1325 God,_G2316 to all_G3956 generously,_G0574 and_G2532 not_G3361 finding fault,_G3679 and_G2532 it will be given_G1325 to him._G0846

6: Let him ask_G0154 however_G1161 in_G1722 faith,_G4102 nothing_G3367 doubting._G1252 The [one]_G3588 for_G1063 doubting_G1252 is like_G1503 a wave_G2830 of [the] sea,_G2281 being blown by the wind_G0416 and_G2532 being tossed by the wind._G4494

7: Not_G3361 for_G1063 let suppose_G3633 the_G3588 man_G0444 that,_G1565 that_G3754 he will receive_G2983 anything_G5100 from_G3844 the_G3588 Lord._G2962

8: [He is] a man_G0435 double-minded,_G1374 unstable_G0182 in_G1722 all_G3956 the_G3588 ways_G3598 of him._G0846

9: Let boast_G2744 however_G1161 the_G3588 brother_G0080 -_G3588 of low degree_G5011 in_G1722 the_G3588 exaltation_G5311 of him;_G0846

10: he who [is]_G3588 then_G1161 rich,_G4145 in_G1722 the_G3588 humiliation_G5014 of him,_G0846 because_G3754 like_G5613 a flower_G0438 of grass_G5528 he will pass away._G3928

11: Has risen_G0393 for_G1063 the_G3588 sun_G2246 with_G4862 [its]_G3588 burning heat_G2742 and_G2532 withered_G3583 the_G3588 grass,_G5528 and_G2532 the_G3588 flower_G0438 of it_G0846 has fallen,_G1601 and_G2532 the_G3588 beauty_G2143 of the_G3588 appearance_G4383 of it_G0846 has perished._G0622 Thus_G3779 also_G2532 the_G3588 rich [man]_G4145 in the midst of_G1722 the_G3588 pursuits_G4197 of him_G0846 will fade away._G3133

12: Blessed [is the]_G3107 man_G0435 who_G3739 endures_G5278 trial,_G3986 because_G3754 approved_G1384 having been,_G1096 he will receive_G2983 the_G3588 crown_G4735 -_G3588 of life_G2222 that_G3739 He has promised_G1861 to those_G3588 loving_G0025 Him._G0846

13: No one_G3367 being tempted_G3985 let say_G3004 -,_G3754 By_G0575 God_G2316 I am being tempted._G3985 -_G3588 For_G1063 God_G2316 unable to be tempted_G0551 is_G1510 by evils;_G2556 tempts_G3985 now_G1161 He Himself_G0846 no one._G3762

14: A man_G1538 however_G1161 is tempted,_G3985 by_G5259 the_G3588 own_G2398 desire_G1939 being drawn away_G1828 and_G2532 being enticed._G1185

15: Then_G1534 -_G3588 desire,_G1939 having conceived,_G4815 gives birth to_G5088 sin;_G0266 -_G3588 and_G1161 sin_G0266 having become fully grown,_G0658 brings forth_G0616 death._G2288

16: Not_G3361 be misled,_G4105 brothers_G0080 my_G1473 beloved._G0027

17: Every_G3956 act of giving_G1394 good,_G0018 and_G2532 every_G3956 gift_G1434 perfect,_G5046 from above_G0509 is,_G1510 coming down_G2597 from_G0575 the_G3588 Father_G3962 -_G3588 of lights,_G5457 with_G3844 whom_G3739 not_G3756 there is_G1762 variation_G3883 or_G2228 of shifting_G5157 shadow._G0644

18: Having willed [it],_G1014 He brought forth_G0616 us_G1473 by [the] word_G3056 of truth,_G0225 for_G1519 -_G3588 to be_G1510 us_G1473 firstfruits_G0536 a certain_G5100 -_G3588 of His_G0846 creatures._G2938

19: Know [this],_G1492 brothers_G0080 my_G1473 beloved._G0027 Let be_G1510 however_G1161 every_G3956 man_G0444 swift_G5036 unto_G1519 -_G3588 to hear,_G0191 slow_G1021 unto_G1519 -_G3588 to speak,_G2980 slow_G1021 unto_G1519 anger;_G3709

20: [the] anger_G3709 for_G1063 of man,_G0435 [the] righteousness_G1343 of God_G2316 not_G3756 produces._G2038

21: Therefore,_G1352 having put aside_G0659 all_G3956 filthiness_G4507 and_G2532 abounding_G4050 of wickedness,_G2549 in_G1722 humility_G4240 receive_G1209 the_G3588 implanted_G1721 word,_G3056 -_G3588 being able_G1410 to save_G4982 the_G3588 souls_G5590 of you._G4771

22: Be_G1096 however_G1161 doers_G4163 of [the] word,_G3056 and_G2532 not_G3361 hearers_G0202 only,_G3440 deceiving_G3884 yourselves,_G1438

23: because_G3754 if_G1487 anyone_G5100 a hearer_G0202 of [the] word_G3056 is_G1510 and_G2532 not_G3756 a doer,_G4163 this one_G3778 is like_G1503 a man_G0435 looking_G2657 at_G3588 [the] face_G4383 -_G3588 natural_G1078 of him_G0846 in_G1722 a mirror;_G2072

24: he has viewed_G2657 for_G1063 himself_G1438 and_G2532 has gone away_G0565 and_G2532 immediately_G2112 he has forgotten_G1950 what like_G3697 he was._G1510

25: The [one]_G3588 however_G1161 having looked intently_G3879 into_G1519 [the] law_G3551 perfect,_G5046 that_G3588 -_G3588 of freedom,_G1657 and_G2532 having continued in [it],_G3887 not_G3756 a hearer_G0202 forgetful_G1953 having been,_G1096 but_G0235 a doer_G4163 of [the] work—_G2041 this one_G3778 blessed_G3107 in_G1722 the_G3588 work_G4162 of him_G0846 will be._G1510

26: If_G1487 anyone_G5100 seems_G1380 religious_G2357 to be,_G1510 not_G3361 bridling_G5468 [the] tongue_G1100 of himself,_G0846 but_G0235 deceiving_G0538 [the] heart_G2588 of himself,_G0846 of this one_G3778 worthless [is]_G3152 the_G3588 religion._G2356

27: Religion_G2356 pure_G2513 and_G2532 undefiled_G0283 before_G3844 the_G3588 God_G2316 and_G2532 Father_G3962 this_G3778 is,_G1510 to visit_G1980 orphans_G3737 and_G2532 widows_G5503 in_G1722 the_G3588 tribulation_G2347 of them;_G0846 unstained_G0784 oneself_G1438 to keep_G5083 from_G0575 the_G3588 world._G2889
