1:1 Iames
a
seruant
of
God,
and
of
the
Lord
Iesus
Christ,
to
the
twelue
Tribes
which
are
scattered
abroad,
greeting.
1:2 My
brethren,
count
it
all
ioy
when
ye
fall
into
diuers
temptations,
1:3 Knowing
this,
that
the
trying
of
your
faith
worketh
patience,
1:4 But
let
patience
haue
her
perfect
worke,
that
ye
may
be
perfect,
and
entier,
wanting
nothing.
1:5 If
any
of
you
lacke
wisedome,
let
him
aske
of
God,
that
giueth
to
all
men
liberally,
and
vpbraideth
not:
and
it
shalbe
giuen
him.
1:6 But
let
him
aske
in
faith,
nothing
wauering:
for
he
that
wauereth
is
like
a
waue
of
the
sea,
driuen
with
the
wind,
and
tossed.
1:7 For
let
not
that
man
thinke
that
he
shall
receiue
any
thing
of
the
Lord.
1:8 A
double
minded
man
is
vnstable
in
all
his
wayes.
1:9 Let
the
brother
of
low
degree,
reioyce
in
that
he
is
exalted:
1:10 But
the
rich,
in
that
hee
is
made
low:
because
as
the
floure
of
the
grasse
he
shall
passe
away.
1:11 For
the
Sunne
is
no
sooner
risen
with
a
burning
heate,
but
it
withereth
the
grasse;
and
the
flowre
thereof
falleth,
and
the
grace
of
the
fashion
of
it
perisheth:
so
also
shall
the
rich
man
fade
away
in
his
wayes.
1:12 Blessed
is
the
man
that
endureth
temptation:
for
when
hee
is
tried,
hee
shall
receiue
the
crowne
of
life,
which
the
Lord
hath
promised
to
them
that
loue
him.
1:13 Let
no
man
say
when
he
is
tempted,
I
am
tempted
of
God:
for
God
cannot
be
tempted
with
euill,
neither
tempteth
he
any
man.
1:14 But
euery
man
is
tempted,
when
hee
is
drawen
away
of
his
owne
lust,
and
entised.
1:15 Then
when
lust
hath
conceiued,
it
bringeth
forth
sinne:
and
sinne,
when
it
is
finished,
bringeth
forth
death.
1:16 Doe
not
erre,
my
beloued
brethren.
1:17 Euery
good
gift,
and
euery
perfect
gift
is
from
aboue,
&
commeth
downe
from
the
Father
of
lights,
with
whom
is
no
variablenesse,
neither
shadow
of
turning.
1:18 Of
his
owne
will
begate
hee
vs,
with
the
word
of
Trueth,
that
wee
should
bee
a
kinde
of
first
fruites
of
his
creatures.
1:19 Wherefore
my
beloued
brethren,
let
euery
man
bee
swift
to
heare,
slow
to
speake,
slow
to
wrath.
1:20 For
the
wrath
of
man
worketh
not
the
righteousnesse
of
God.
1:21 Wherefore
lay
apart
all
filthinesse,
and
superfluitie
of
naughtinesse,
&
receiue
with
meeknesse
the
engrafted
word,
which
is
able
to
saue
your
soules.
1:22 But
be
ye
doers
of
the
word,
and
not
hearers
onely,
receiuing
your
owne
selues.
1:23 For
if
any
be
a
hearer
of
the
word
and
not
a
doer,
he
is
like
vnto
a
man
beholding
his
naturall
face
in
a
glasse:
1:24 For
hee
beholdeth
himselfe,
and
goeth
his
way,
and
straightway
forgetteth
what
maner
of
man
he
was.
1:25 But
who
so
looketh
into
the
perfect
Law
of
libertie,
and
continueth
therein,
he
being
not
a
forgetfull
hearer,
but
a
doer
of
the
worke,
this
man
shall
be
blessed
in
his
deed.
1:26 If
any
man
among
you
seeme
to
be
religious,
&
bridleth
not
his
tongue,
but
deceiueth
his
owne
heart,
this
mans
religion
is
vaine.
1:27 Pure
religion
and
vndefiled
before
God
and
the
Father,
is
this,
to
visit
the
fatherlesse
and
widowes
in
their
affliction,
and
to
keepe
himselfe
vnspotted
from
the
world.
