James 1

GREETING

¹ James, a a bondservant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ,
To the twelve tribes which are scattered abroad: 

Greetings.

TESTING YOUR FAITH

² My brethren, b count it all joy c when you fall into various trials,³ d knowing that the testing of your faith produces 1 patience. ⁴But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be 2 perfect and complete, lacking nothing.

⁵ e If any of you lacks wisdom, f let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and g it will be given to him. ⁶h But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind. ⁷ For let not that man suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord; ⁸he is i a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.

⁹ Let the lowly brother glory in his exaltation, ¹⁰ but the rich in his humiliation, because j as a flower of the field he will pass away. ¹¹For no sooner has the sun risen with a burning heat than it withers the grass; its flower falls, and its beautiful appearance perishes. So the rich man also will fade away in his pursuits.

¹² k Blessed is the man who endures temptation; for when he has been approved, he will receive l the crown of life m which the Lord has promised to those who love Him. ¹³ Let no one say when he is tempted, "I am tempted by God"; for God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does He Himself tempt anyone. ¹⁴ But each one is tempted when he is drawn away by his own desires and enticed.¹⁵ Then, n when desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, o brings forth death.

¹⁶ Do not be deceived, my beloved brethren. ¹⁷ p Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, q with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning. ¹⁸ r Of His own will He brought us forth by the s word of truth, t that we might be a kind of firstfruits of His creatures.

HEARING AND DOING THE WORD

¹⁹ 3 So then, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear,u slow to speak, v slow to wrath; ²⁰ for the wrath of man does not produce the righteousness of God. ²¹ Therefore w lay aside all filthiness and 4 overflow of wickedness, and receive with meekness the implanted word, x which is able to save your souls.

²² But y be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves. ²³ For z if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man observing his natural face in a mirror; ²⁴ for he observes himself, goes away, and immediately forgets what kind of man he was. ²⁵ But a he who looks into the perfect law of liberty and continues in it, and is not a forgetful hearer but a doer of the work, b this one will be blessed in what he does.

²⁶ If anyone 5 among you thinks he is religious, and c does not bridle his tongue but deceives his own heart, this one's religion is useless. ²⁷ d Pure and undefiled religion before God and the Father is this: e to visit orphans and widows in their trouble, fand to keep oneself unspotted from the world.

WHAT DO YOU THINK? - We have all sinned and deserve God's judgment. God, the Father, sent His only Son to satisfy that judgment for those who believe in Him. Jesus, the creator and eternal Son of God, who lived a sinless life, loves us so much that He died for our sins, taking the punishment that we deserve, was buried, and rose from the dead according to the Bible. If you truly believe and trust this in your heart, receiving Jesus alone as your Savior, declaring, "Jesus is Lord," you will be saved from judgement, and spend eternity with God in heaven.

What is your response?
Yes, today, I'm deciding to follow Jesus

Yes, I'm already the follower of Jesus.
