1 James G2385 N-NSM , a servant G1401 N-NSM of God G2316 N-GSM and G2532 CONJ of the Lord G2962 N-GSM Jesus G2424 N-GSM Christ G5547 N-GSM , to the G3588 T-DPF twelve G1427 A-NUI tribes G5443 N-DPF which G3588 T-DPF are scattered abroad G1722 PREP , greeting G5463 V-PAN .
2 My G3450 P-1GS brethren G80 N-VPM , count G2233 V-ADI-2P it all G3956 A-ASF joy G5479 N-ASF when G3752 CONJ ye fall into G4045 V-2AAS-2P divers G4164 A-DPM temptations G3986 N-DPM ;
3 Knowing G1097 V-PAP-NPM this , that G3754 CONJ the G3588 T-NSN trying G1383 N-NSN of G3588 T-GSF your G3588 T-GSF faith G4102 N-GSF worketh G2716 V-PNI-3S patience G5281 N-ASF .
4 But G1161 CONJ let patience G5281 N-NSF have G2192 V-PAM-3S her perfect G5046 A-ASN work G2041 N-ASN , that G2443 CONJ ye may be G5600 V-PXS-2P perfect G5046 A-NPM and G2532 CONJ entire G3648 A-NPM , wanting G3007 V-PPP-NPM nothing G3367 A-DSN .
5 If G1487 COND any G5100 X-NSM of you G5216 P-2GP lack G3007 V-PPI-3S wisdom G4678 N-GSF , let him ask G154 V-PAM-3S of G3844 PREP God G2316 N-GSM , that giveth G1325 V-PAP-GSM to all G3956 A-DPM men liberally G574 ADV , and G2532 CONJ upbraideth G3679 V-PAP-GSM not G3361 ; and G2532 CONJ it shall be given G1325 V-FPI-3S him G846 P-DSM .
6 But G1161 CONJ let him ask G154 V-PAM-3S in G1722 PREP faith G4102 N-DSF , nothing G3367 A-ASN wavering G1252 V-PMP-NSM . For G1063 CONJ he that wavereth G1252 V-PMP-NSM is like G1503 V-RAI-3S a wave G2830 N-DSM of the sea G2281 N-GSF driven with the wind G416 V-PPP-DSM and G2532 CONJ tossed G4494 V-PPP-DSM .
7 For G1063 CONJ let not G3361 PRT-N that G3588 T-NSM man G444 N-NSM think G3633 V-PNM-3S that G3754 CONJ he shall receive G2983 V-FDI-3S any thing G5100 X-ASN of G3844 PREP the G3588 T-GSM Lord G2962 N-GSM .
8 A double minded G1374 A-NSM man G435 N-NSM is unstable G182 A-NSM in G1722 PREP all G3956 A-DPF his G3588 T-DPF ways G3598 N-DPF .
9 Let the G3588 T-NSM brother G80 N-NSM of low degree G5011 A-NSM rejoice G2744 V-PNM-3S in G1722 PREP that G3588 T-DSN he G3588 T-DSN is exalted G5311 N-DSN :
10 But G1161 CONJ the G3588 T-NSM rich G4145 A-NSM , in G1722 PREP that G3588 T-DSF he G3588 T-DSF is made low G5014 N-DSF : because G3754 CONJ as G5613 ADV the flower G438 N-NSN of the grass G5528 N-GSM he shall pass away G3928 V-FDI-3S .
11 For G1063 CONJ the G3588 T-NSM sun G2246 N-NSM is no sooner risen G393 V-AAI-3S with G4862 PREP a burning heat G2742 N-DSM , but G2532 CONJ it withereth G3583 V-AAI-3S the G3588 T-ASM grass G5528 N-ASM , and G2532 CONJ the G3588 T-NSN flower G438 N-NSN thereof G846 P-GSM falleth G1601 V-2AAI-3S , and G2532 CONJ the G3588 T-NSF grace G2143 N-NSF of G3588 T-GSN the G3588 T-GSN fashion G4383 N-GSN of it G846 P-GSM perisheth G622 V-2AMI-3S : so G3779 ADV also G2532 CONJ shall the G3588 T-NSM rich man G4145 A-NSM fade away G3133 V-FPI-3S in G1722 PREP his G3588 T-DPF ways G4197 N-DPF .
12 Blessed G3107 A-NSM is the man G435 N-NSM that G3739 R-NSM endureth G5278 V-PAI-3S temptation G3986 N-ASM : for G3754 CONJ when he is G1096 V-2ADP-NSM tried G1384 A-NSM , he shall receive G2983 V-FDI-3S the G3588 T-ASM crown G4735 N-ASM of life G2222 N-GSF , which G3739 R-ASM the G3588 T-NSM Lord G2962 N-NSM hath promised G1861 V-ADI-3S to them that love G25 V-PAP-DPM him G846 P-ASM .
13 Let no man G3367 A-NSM say G3004 V-PAM-3S when he is tempted G3985 V-PPP-NSM , I am tempted G3985 V-PPI-1S of G575 PREP God G2316 N-GSM : for G1063 CONJ God G2316 N-NSM cannot be tempted G551 A-NSM with evil G2556 A-GPN , neither G1161 CONJ tempteth G3985 V-PAI-3S he G848 any man G3762 A-ASM :
14 But G1161 CONJ every man G1538 A-NSM is tempted G3985 V-PPI-3S , when he is drawn away G1828 V-PPP-NSM of G3588 T-GSF his own G2398 A-GSF lust G1939 N-GSF , and G2532 CONJ enticed G1185 V-PPP-NSM .
15 Then G1534 ADV when lust G1939 N-NSF hath conceived G4815 V-2AAP-NSF , it bringeth forth G5088 V-PAI-3S sin G266 N-ASF : and G1161 CONJ sin G266 N-NSF , when it is finished G658 V-APP-NSF , bringeth forth G616 V-PAI-3S death G2288 N-ASM .
16 Do not G3361 PRT-N err G4105 V-PPM-2P , my G3450 P-1GS beloved G27 A-VPM brethren G80 N-VPM .
17 Every G3956 A-NSF good G18 A-NSF gift G1394 N-NSF and G2532 CONJ every G3956 A-NSN perfect G5046 A-NSN gift G1434 N-NSN is G2076 V-PXI-3S from above G509 ADV , and cometh down G2597 V-PAP-NSN from G575 PREP the G3588 T-GSM Father G3962 N-GSM of lights G5457 N-GPN , with G3844 PREP whom G3739 R-DSM is G1762 V-PXI-3S no G3756 PRT-N variableness G3883 N-NSF , neither G2228 PRT shadow G644 N-NSN of turning G5157 N-GSF .
18 Of his own will G1014 V-AOP-NSM begat G616 V-AAI-3S he us G2248 P-1AP with the word G3056 N-DSM of truth G225 N-GSF , that G3588 T-ASN we G3588 T-ASN should be G1511 V-PXN a kind G5100 X-ASF of firstfruits G536 N-ASF of his G848 creatures G2938 N-GPN .
19 Wherefore G5620 CONJ , my G3450 P-1GS beloved G27 A-VPM brethren G80 N-VPM , let every G3956 A-NSM man G444 N-NSM be G2077 V-PXM-3S swift G5036 A-NSM to hear G191 V-AAN , slow G1021 A-NSM to speak G2980 V-AAN , slow G1021 A-NSM to G1519 PREP wrath G3709 N-ASF :
20 For G1063 CONJ the wrath G3709 N-NSF of man G435 N-GSM worketh G2716 V-PNI-3S not G3756 PRT-N the righteousness G1343 N-ASF of God G2316 N-GSM .
21 Wherefore G1352 CONJ lay apart G659 V-2AMP-NPM all G3956 A-ASF filthiness G4507 N-ASF and G2532 CONJ superfluity G4050 N-ASF of naughtiness G2549 N-GSF , and receive G1209 V-ADM-2P with G1722 PREP meekness G4240 N-DSF the G3588 T-ASM engrafted G1721 A-ASM word G3056 N-ASM , which is able G1410 V-PNP-ASM to save G4982 V-AAN your G3588 T-APF souls G5590 N-APF .
22 But G1161 CONJ be G1096 V-PNM-2P ye doers G4163 N-NPM of the word G3056 N-GSM , and G2532 CONJ not G3361 PRT-N hearers G202 N-NPM only G3440 ADV , deceiving G3884 V-PNP-NPM your own selves G1438 F-3APM .
23 For G3754 CONJ if any G1536 be G2076 V-PXI-3S a hearer G202 N-NSM of the word G3056 N-GSM , and G2532 CONJ not G3756 PRT-N a doer G4163 N-NSM , he G3778 D-NSM is like unto G1503 V-RAI-3S a man G435 N-DSM beholding G2657 V-PAP-DSM his G3588 T-GSF natural G1078 N-GSF face G4383 N-ASN in G1722 PREP a glass G2072 N-DSN :
24 For G1063 CONJ he beholdeth G2657 V-AAI-3S himself G1438 F-3ASM , and G2532 CONJ goeth his way G565 V-2RAI-3S , and G2532 CONJ straightway G2112 ADV forgetteth G1950 V-2ADI-3S what manner of man G3697 A-NSN he was G2258 V-IXI-3S .
25 But G1161 CONJ whoso looketh G3879 V-AAP-NSM into G1519 PREP the perfect G5046 A-ASM law G3551 N-ASM of G3588 T-GSF liberty G1657 N-GSF , and G2532 CONJ continueth G3887 V-AAP-NSM therein , he G3778 D-NSM being G1096 V-2ADP-NSM not G3756 PRT-N a forgetful G1953 N-GSF hearer G202 N-NSM , but G235 CONJ a doer G4163 N-NSM of the work G2041 N-GSN , this man G3778 D-NSM shall be G2071 V-FXI-3S blessed G3107 A-NSM in G1722 PREP his G3588 T-DSF deed G4162 N-DSF .
26 If any man G1536 among G1722 PREP you G5213 P-2DP seem G1380 V-PAI-3S to be G1511 V-PXN religious G2357 A-NSM , and bridleth G5468 V-PAP-NSM not G3361 PRT-N his G848 tongue G1100 N-ASF , but G235 CONJ deceiveth G538 V-PAP-NSM his own G848 heart G2588 N-ASF , this G3588 T-NSF man G5127 D-GSM \'s religion G2356 N-NSF is vain G3152 A-NSM .
27 Pure G2513 A-NSF religion G2356 N-NSF and G2532 CONJ undefiled G283 A-NSF before G3844 PREP God G2316 N-DSM and G2532 CONJ the Father G3962 N-DSM is G2076 V-PXI-3S this G3778 D-NSF , To visit G1980 V-PNN the fatherless G3737 A-APM and G2532 CONJ widows G5503 N-APF in G1722 PREP their G3588 T-DSF affliction G2347 N-DSF , and to keep G5083 V-PAN himself G1438 F-3ASM unspotted G784 A-ASM from G575 PREP the G3588 T-GSM world G2889 N-GSM .
