Book 59 James

59:001:001 James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the

twelve tribes which are scattered abroad, greeting.

59:001:002 My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers

temptations;

59:001:003 Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience.

59:001:004 But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.

59:001:005 If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to

all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given

him.

59:001:006 But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that

wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and

tossed.

59:001:007 For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord.

59:001:008 A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.

59:001:009 Let the brother of low degree rejoice in that he is exalted:

59:001:010 But the rich, in that he is made low: because as the flower of the grass he shall pass away.

59:001:011 For the sun is no sooner risen with a burning heat, but it withereth the grass, and the flower thereof falleth, and the grace of the fashion of it perisheth: so also shall the rich man fade away in his ways.

59:001:012 Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him.

59:001:013 Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for

God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man:

59:001:014 But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own

lust, and enticed.

59:001:015 Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin,

when it is finished, bringeth forth death.

59:001:016 Do not err, my beloved brethren.

59:001:017 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.

59:001:018 Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth, that we

should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures.

59:001:019 Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to

hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath:

59:001:020 For the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God.

59:001:021 Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls.

59:001:022 But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving

your own selves.

59:001:023 For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like

unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass:

59:001:024 For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway

forgetteth what manner of man he was.

59:001:025 But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and

continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a

doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.

59:001:026 If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridleth not

his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man's religion

is vain.

59:001:027 Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this,

To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to

keep himself unspotted from the world.

59:002:001 My brethren, have not the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, the

Lord of glory, with respect of persons.

59:002:002 For if there come unto your assembly a man with a gold ring,

in goodly apparel, and there come in also a poor man in vile

raiment;

59:002:003 And ye have respect to him that weareth the gay clothing, and

say unto him, Sit thou here in a good place; and say to the

poor, Stand thou there, or sit here under my footstool:

59:002:004 Are ye not then partial in yourselves, and are become judges of evil thoughts?

59:002:005 Hearken, my beloved brethren, Hath not God chosen the poor of this world rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which he hath promised to them that love him?

59:002:006 But ye have despised the poor. Do not rich men oppress you,

and draw you before the judgment seats?

59:002:007 Do not they blaspheme that worthy name by the which ye are

called?

59:002:008 If ye fulfil the royal law according to the scripture, Thou

shalt love thy neighbour as thyself, ye do well:

59:002:009 But if ye have respect to persons, ye commit sin, and are

convinced of the law as transgressors.

59:002:010 For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one

point, he is guilty of all.

59:002:011 For he that said, Do not commit adultery, said also, Do not kill. Now if thou commit no adultery, yet if thou kill, thou art become a transgressor of the law.

59:002:012 So speak ye, and so do, as they that shall be judged by the

law of liberty.

59:002:013 For he shall have judgment without mercy, that hath shewed no

mercy; and mercy rejoiceth against judgment.

59:002:014 What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath

faith, and have not works? can faith save him?

59:002:015 If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food,

59:002:016 And one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be ye warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the body; what doth it profit?

59:002:017 Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone.

59:002:018 Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works.

59:002:019 Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the

devils also believe, and tremble.

59:002:020 But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is

dead?

59:002:021 Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he had

offered Isaac his son upon the altar?

59:002:022 Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was

faith made perfect?

59:002:023 And the scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called the Friend of God.

59:002:024 Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only.

59:002:025 Likewise also was not Rahab the harlot justified by works, when she had received the messengers, and had sent them out another way?

59:002:026 For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without

works is dead also.

59:003:001 My brethren, be not many masters, knowing that we shall

receive the greater condemnation.

59:003:002 For in many things we offend all. If any man offend not in word, the same is a perfect man, and able also to bridle the whole body.

59:003:003 Behold, we put bits in the horses' mouths, that they may obey us; and we turn about their whole body.

59:003:004 Behold also the ships, which though they be so great, and are driven of fierce winds, yet are they turned about with a very small helm, whithersoever the governor listeth.

59:003:005 Even so the tongue is a little member, and boasteth great things. Behold, how great a matter a little fire kindleth!

59:003:006 And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity: so is the tongue among our members, that it defileth the whole body, and setteth on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire of hell.

59:003:007 For every kind of beasts, and of birds, and of serpents, and of things in the sea, is tamed, and hath been tamed of mankind:

59:003:008 But the tongue can no man tame; it is an unruly evil, full of

deadly poison.

59:003:009 Therewith bless we God, even the Father; and therewith curse

we men, which are made after the similitude of God.

59:003:010 Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing. My

brethren, these things ought not so to be.

59:003:011 Doth a fountain send forth at the same place sweet water and

bitter?

59:003:012 Can the fig tree, my brethren, bear olive berries? either a

vine, figs? so can no fountain both yield salt water and

fresh.

59:003:013 Who is a wise man and endued with knowledge among you? let him

shew out of a good conversation his works with meekness of

wisdom.

59:003:014 But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory

not, and lie not against the truth.

59:003:015 This wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthly,

sensual, devilish.

59:003:016 For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every

evil work.

59:003:017 But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.

59:003:018 And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that

make peace.

59:004:001 From whence come wars and fightings among you? come they not

hence, even of your lusts that war in your members?

59:004:002 Ye lust, and have not: ye kill, and desire to have, and cannot

obtain: ye fight and war, yet ye have not, because ye ask not.

59:004:003 Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may

consume it upon your lusts.

59:004:004 Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.

59:004:005 Do ye think that the scripture saith in vain, The spirit that

dwelleth in us lusteth to envy?

59:004:006 But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth

the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble.

59:004:007 Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he

will flee from you.

59:004:008 Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your

hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded.

59:004:009 Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned

to mourning, and your joy to heaviness.

59:004:010 Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift

you up.

59:004:011 Speak not evil one of another, brethren. He that speaketh evil of his brother, and judgeth his brother, speaketh evil of the law, and judgeth the law: but if thou judge the law, thou art not a doer of the law, but a judge.

59:004:012 There is one lawgiver, who is able to save and to destroy: who art thou that judgest another?

59:004:013 Go to now, ye that say, To day or to morrow we will go into

such a city, and continue there a year, and buy and sell, and

get gain:

59:004:014 Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is

your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little

time, and then vanisheth away.

59:004:015 For that ye ought to say, If the Lord will, we shall live, and

do this, or that.

59:004:016 But now ye rejoice in your boastings: all such rejoicing is

evil.

59:004:017 Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to

him it is sin.

59:005:001 Go to now, ye rich men, weep and howl for your miseries that

shall come upon you.

59:005:002 Your riches are corrupted, and your garments are motheaten.

59:005:003 Your gold and silver is cankered; and the rust of them shall be a witness against you, and shall eat your flesh as it were fire. Ye have heaped treasure together for the last days.

59:005:004 Behold, the hire of the labourers who have reaped down your fields, which is of you kept back by fraud, crieth: and the cries of them which have reaped are entered into the ears of the Lord of sabaoth.

59:005:005 Ye have lived in pleasure on the earth, and been wanton; ye

have nourished your hearts, as in a day of slaughter.

59:005:006 Ye have condemned and killed the just; and he doth not resist

you.

59:005:007 Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the coming of the Lord. Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, and hath long patience for it, until he receive the early and latter rain.

59:005:008 Be ye also patient; stablish your hearts: for the coming of

the Lord draweth nigh.

59:005:009 Grudge not one against another, brethren, lest ye be

condemned: behold, the judge standeth before the door.

59:005:010 Take, my brethren, the prophets, who have spoken in the name

of the Lord, for an example of suffering affliction, and of

patience.

59:005:011 Behold, we count them happy which endure. Ye have heard of the

patience of Job, and have seen the end of the Lord; that the

Lord is very pitiful, and of tender mercy.

59:005:012 But above all things, my brethren, swear not, neither by heaven, neither by the earth, neither by any other oath: but let your yea be yea; and your nay, nay; lest ye fall into condemnation.

59:005:013 Is any among you afflicted? let him pray. Is any merry? let him sing psalms.

59:005:014 Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the

church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in

the name of the Lord:

59:005:015 And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord

shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall

be forgiven him.

59:005:016 Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another,

that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a

righteous man availeth much.

59:005:017 Elias was a man subject to like passions as we are, and he

prayed earnestly that it might not rain: and it rained not on

the earth by the space of three years and six months.

59:005:018 And he prayed again, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth

brought forth her fruit.

59:005:019 Brethren, if any of you do err from the truth, and one convert

him;

59:005:020 Let him know, that he which converteth the sinner from the error of his way shall save a soul from death, and shall hide a multitude of sins.

Many small donations ($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt status with the IRS.

The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any particular state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate.

While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who approach us with offers to donate.

International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.

Please check the Project Gutenberg web pages for current donation methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. To donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate.

Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg™ electronic works

Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg™ concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and distributed Project Gutenberg™ eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.

Project Gutenberg™ eBooks are often created from several printed editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.

Most people start at our website which has the main PG search facility: www.gutenberg.org.

This website includes information about Project Gutenberg™, including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
