1 JAMES OF GOD AND OF [THE] LORD JESUS CHRIST A SERVANT TO THE TWELVE TRIBES <THE> IN THE DISPERSION GREETING.
A Greeting from James
(Jude 1:1–2 )
1 James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ,
To the twelve tribes of the Dispersion:
Greetings.
2 ALL JOY DO ESTEEM [IT], BROTHERS OF MINE, WHEN TRIALS YOU MAY FALL INTO VARIOUS,
Rejoicing in Trials
(Philippians 1:12–20 )
2 Consider it pure joy, my brothers, when you encounter trials of many kinds,
3 KNOWING THAT THE TESTING OF YOUR <THE> FAITH PRODUCES ENDURANCE;
3 because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance.
4 <THE> AND ENDURANCE WORK [ITS] PERFECT SHOULD HAVE, SO THAT YOU MAY BE PERFECT AND COMPLETE IN NOTHING LACKING.
4 Allow perseverance to finish its work, so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.
5 IF NOW ANY OF YOU LACKS WISDOM, HE SHOULD ASK FROM THE [ONE] GIVING GOD TO ALL GENEROUSLY AND NOT FINDING FAULT, AND IT WILL BE GIVEN TO HIM.
5 Now if any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him.
6 HE SHOULD ASK HOWEVER IN FAITH NOTHING DOUBTING; THE [ONE] FOR DOUBTING HE HAS BEEN LIKENED TO A WAVE OF [THE] SEA BEING BLOWN BY THE WIND AND BEING TOSSED BY THE WIND.
6 But he must ask in faith, without doubting, because he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind.
7 NOT FOR SHOULD SUPPOSE THE MAN THAT THAT HE WILL RECEIVE ANYTHING FROM THE LORD;
7 That man should not expect to receive anything from the Lord.
8 [HE IS] A MAN DOUBLE-MINDED UNSTABLE IN ALL THE WAYS OF HIM.
8 He is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.
9 SHOULD BOAST HOWEVER THE BROTHER <THE> OF LOW DEGREE IN THE EXALTATION OF HIM,
9 The brother in humble circumstances should exult in his high position.
10 HE WHO [IS] THEN RICH IN THE HUMILIATION OF HIM BECAUSE LIKE A FLOWER OF GRASS HE WILL PASS AWAY.
10 But the one who is rich should exult in his low position, because he will pass away like a flower of the field.
11 HAS RISEN FOR THE SUN WITH [ITS] BURNING HEAT AND WITHERED THE GRASS AND THE FLOWER OF IT HAS FALLEN AND THE BEAUTY OF THE APPEARANCE OF IT HAS PERISHED; THUS ALSO THE RICH [MAN] IN THE MIDST OF THE PURSUITS OF HIM WILL FADE AWAY.
11 For the sun rises with scorching heat and withers the plant; its flower falls and its beauty is lost. So too, the rich man will fade away in the midst of his pursuits.
12 BLESSED [IS THE] MAN WHO ENDURES TRIAL, BECAUSE APPROVED HAVING BEEN HE WILL RECEIVE THE CROWN <THE> OF LIFE THAT HE HAS PROMISED THE LORD TO THOSE LOVING HIM.
12 Blessed is the man who perseveres under trial, because when he has stood the test, he will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love Him.
13 NO ONE BEING TEMPTED SHOULD SAY THAT BY <THE> GOD I AM BEING TEMPTED; <THE> FOR GOD UNABLE TO BE TEMPTED IS BY EVILS, TEMPTS NOW HE HIMSELF NO [ONE];
Good and Perfect Gifts
13 When tempted, no one should say, God is tempting me. For God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does He tempt anyone.
14 A MAN HOWEVER IS TEMPTED BY THE OWN DESIRE BEING DRAWN AWAY AND BEING ENTICED;
14 But each one is tempted when by his own evil desires he is lured away and enticed.
15 THEN <THE> DESIRE HAVING CONCEIVED IT GIVES BIRTH TO SIN, <THE> AND SIN HAVING BECOME FULLY GROWN IT BRINGS FORTH DEATH.
15 Then after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, gives birth to death.
16 NOT DO BE MISLED, BROTHERS OF MINE BELOVED;
16 Do not be deceived, my beloved brothers.
17 EVERY ACT OF GIVING GOOD AND EVERY GIFT PERFECT FROM ABOVE IS COMING DOWN FROM THE FATHER <THE> OF LIGHTS WITH WHOM NOT THERE IS VARIATION OR OF SHIFTING SHADOW.
17 Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, with whom there is no change or shifting shadow.
18 HAVING WILLED [IT] HE BROUGHT FORTH US BY [THE] WORD OF TRUTH, FOR <THE> TO BE US FIRSTFRUITS A CERTAIN <THE> OF HIS CREATURES.
18 He chose to give us birth through the word of truth, that we would be a kind of firstfruits of His creation.
19 YOU SHOULD KNOW BROTHERS OF MINE BELOVED; SHOULD BE HOWEVER EVERY MAN SWIFT UNTO <THE> TO HEAR, SLOW UNTO <THE> TO SPEAK, SLOW UNTO ANGER.
Hearing and Doing
19 My beloved brothers, understand this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to anger,
20 [THE] ANGER FOR OF MAN [THE] RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD NOT WORKS.
20 for man’s anger does not bring about the righteousness that God desires.
21 THEREFORE HAVING PUT ASIDE ALL FILTHINESS AND EXCESS OF WICKEDNESS IN HUMILITY DO RECEIVE THE IMPLANTED WORD WHICH IS BEING ABLE TO SAVE THE SOULS OF YOU.
21 Therefore, get rid of all moral filth and every expression of evil, and humbly accept the word planted in you, which can save your souls.
22 DO BE HOWEVER DOERS OF [THE] WORD AND NOT ONLY HEARERS DECEIVING YOURSELVES.
22 Be doers of the word, and not hearers only. Otherwise, you are deceiving yourselves.
23 BECAUSE IF ANYONE A HEARER OF [THE] WORD IS AND NOT A DOER, THIS ONE HAS BEEN LIKENED TO A MAN LOOKING AT THE FACE THE NATURAL OF HIM IN A MIRROR;
23 For anyone who hears the word but does not carry it out is like a man who looks at his face in a mirror,
24 HE HAS VIEWED FOR HIMSELF AND HAS GONE AWAY AND IMMEDIATELY HE HAS FORGOTTEN WHAT LIKE HE WAS.
24 and after observing himself goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like.
25 THE [ONE] HOWEVER HAVING LOOKED INTENTLY INTO [THE] LAW PERFECT THAT <THE> OF FREEDOM AND HAVING CONTINUED IN [IT], THIS NOT A HEARER FORGETFUL HAVING BEEN BUT A DOER OF [THE] WORK — THIS ONE BLESSED IN THE WORK TO BE DONE BY HIM WILL BE.
25 But the one who looks intently into the perfect law of freedom, and continues to do so— not being a forgetful hearer, but an effective doer— he will be blessed in what he does.
26 IF ANYONE SEEMS RELIGIOUS TO BE AMONG YOU NOT BRIDLING [THE] TONGUE OF HIM BUT DECEIVING [THE] HEART OF HIM, OF THIS ONE WORTHLESS [IS] THE RELIGION.
26 If anyone considers himself religious and yet does not bridle his tongue, he deceives his heart and his religion is worthless.
27 RELIGION PURE AND UNDEFILED BEFORE THE GOD AND FATHER THIS IS, TO VISIT ORPHANS AND WIDOWS IN THE TRIBULATION OF THEM, UNSTAINED ONESELF TO KEEP FROM THE WORLD.
27 Pure and undefiled religion before our God and Father is this: to care for orphans and widows in their distress, and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.
