James 1

1. James <2385-Iakobos->, a servant <1401-doulos-> of God <2316-

theos-> and of the Lord <2962-kurios-> Jesus <2424-Iesous->

Christ <5547-Christos->, to the twelve <1427-dodeka-> tribes

<5443-phule-> which <3739-hos-> are scattered <1290-diaspora->

abroad <1290-diaspora->, greeting <5463-chairo->.

2. My brethren <0080-adephos->, count <2233-hegeomai-> it all

<3956-pas-> joy <5479-chara-> when <3752-hotan-> ye fall <4045-

peripipto-> into divers <4164-poikilos-> temptations <3986-

peirasmos->;

3 Knowing <1097-ginosko-> [this], that the trying <1383-

dokimion-> of your <5216-humon-> faith <4102-pistis-> worketh

<2716-katergazomai-> patience <5281-hupomone->.

4 But let patience <5281-hupomone-> have <2192-echo-> [her]

perfect <5046-teleios-> work <2041-ergon->, that ye may be

perfect <5046-teleios-> and entire <3648-holokleros->, wanting

<3007-leipo-> nothing <3367-medeis->.

5 If <1487-ei-> any <5100-tis-> of you lack <3007-leipo->

wisdom <4678-sophia->, let him ask <0154-aiteo-> of God <2316-

theos->, that giveth <1325-didomi-> to all <3956-pas-> [men]

liberally <0574-haplos->, and upbraideth <3679-oneidizo-> not;

and it shall be given <1325-didomi-> him.

6 But let him ask <0154-aiteo-> in faith <4102-pistis->,

nothing <3367-medeis-> wavering <1252-diakrino->. For he that

wavereth <1252-diakrino-> is like <1503-eiko-> a wave <2830-

kludon-> of the sea <2281-thalassa-> driven <0416-anemizo-> with

the wind <0416-anemizo-> and tossed <4494-rhipizo->.

7 For let not that man <0444-anthropos-> think <3633-oiomai->

that he shall receive <2983-lambano-> any <5100-tis-> thing of

the Lord <2962-kurios->.

8 A double <1374-dipsuchos-> minded <1374-dipsuchos-> man <0435-

aner-> [is] unstable <0182-akatastatos-> in all <3956-pas-> his

ways <3598-hodos->.

9 Let the brother <0080-adephos-> of low <5011-tapeinos->

degree <5011-tapeinos-> rejoice <2744-kauchaomai-> in that he is

exalted <5311-hupsos->:

10 But the rich <4145-plousios->, in that he is made <5014-

tapeinosis-> low <5014-tapeinosis->: because <3754-hoti-> as the

flower <0438-anthos-> of the grass <5528-chortos-> he shall pass

<3928-parerchomai-> away.

11 For the sun <2246-helios-> is no sooner risen <0393-anatello-

> with a burning <2742-kauson-> heat <2742-kauson->, but it

withereth <3583-xeraino-> the grass <5528-chortos->, and the

flower <0438-anthos-> thereof <0846-autos-> falleth <1601-

ekpipto->, and the grace <2143-euprepeia-> of the fashion <4383-

prosopon-> of it perisheth <0622-apollumi->: so <3779-houto->

also <2532-kai-> shall the rich <4145-plousios-> man fade <3133-

maraino-> away in his ways <4197-poreia->.

12 Blessed <3107-makarios-> [is] the man <0435-aner-> that

endureth <5278-hupomeno-> temptation <3986-peirasmos->: for when

he is tried <1384-dokimos->, he shall receive <2983-lambano->

the crown <4735-stephanos-> of life <2222-zoe->, which <3739-hos-

> the Lord <2962-kurios-> hath promised <1861-epaggello-> to

them that love <0025-agapao-> him.

13. Let no <3367-medeis-> man <3367-medeis-> say <3004-lego->

when he is tempted <3985-peirazo->, I am tempted <3985-peirazo->

of God <2316-theos->: for God <2316-theos-> cannot <0551-

apeirastos-> be tempted <0551-apeirastos-> with evil <2556-kakos-

>, neither <3762-oudeis-> tempteth <3985-peirazo-> he any <3762-

oudeis-> man <3762-oudeis->:

14 But every <1538-hekastos-> man is tempted <3985-peirazo->,

when he is drawn <1828-exelko-> away of his own <2398-idios->

lust <1939-epithumia->, and enticed <1185-deleazo->.

15 Then <1534-eita-> when lust <1939-epithumia-> hath conceived

<4815-sullambano->, it bringeth <0616-apokueo-> forth <0616-

apokueo-> sin <0266-hamartia->: and sin <0266-hamartia->, when

it is finished <0658-apoteleo->, bringeth <5088-tikto-> forth

<5088-tikto-> death <2288-thanatos->.

16 Do not err <4105-planao->, my beloved <0027-agapetos->

brethren <0080-adephos->.

17 Every <3956-pas-> good <0018-agathos-> gift <1394-dosis->

and every <3956-pas-> perfect <5046-teleios-> gift <1394-dosis->

is from above <0509-anothen->, and cometh <2591-Karpos-> down

<2597-katabaino-> from the Father <3962-pater-> of lights <5457-

phos->, with whom <3739-hos-> is no <3756-ou-> variableness

<3883-parallage->, neither <2228-e-> shadow <0644-aposkiasma->

of turning <5157-trope->.

18 Of his own will <1014-boo-lom-ahee-> begat <0616-apokueo->

he us with the word <3056-logos-> of truth <0225-aletheia->,

that we should be a kind <5100-tis-> of firstfruits <0536-

aparche-> of his creatures <2938-ktisma->.

19. Wherefore <5620-hoste->, my beloved <0027-agapetos->

brethren <0080-adephos->, let every <3956-pas-> man <0444-

anthropos-> be swift <5036-tachus-> to hear <0191-akouo->, slow

<1021-bradus-> to speak <2980-laleo->, slow <1021-bradus-> to

wrath <3709-orge->:

20 For the wrath <3709-orge-> of man <0435-aner-> worketh <2716-

katergazomai-> not the righteousness <1343-dikaiosune-> of God

<2316-theos->.

21 Wherefore <1352-dio-> lay <0659-apotithemi-> apart <0659-

apotithemi-> all <3956-pas-> filthiness <4507-rhuparia-> and

superfluity <4050-perisseia-> of naughtiness <2549-kakia->, and

receive <1209-dechomai-> with meekness <4240-prautes-> the

engrafted <1721-emphutos-> word <3056-logos->, which <3588-ho->

is able <1410-dunamai-> to save <4982-sozo-> your <5216-humon->

souls <5590-psuche->.

22 But be ye doers <4163-poietes-> of the word <3056-logos->,

and not hearers <0202-akroates-> only <3440-monon->, deceiving

<3884-paralogizomai-> your <1438-heautou-> own selves <0846-

autos->.

23 For if <1487-ei-> any <1536-ei tis-> be a hearer <0202-

akroates-> of the word <3056-logos->, and not a doer <4163-

poietes->, he is like <1503-eiko-> unto a man <0435-aner->

beholding <2657-katanoeo-> his natural <1083-gennesis-> face

<4383-prosopon-> in a glass <2072-esoptron->:

24 For he beholdeth <2657-katanoeo-> himself <1438-heautou->,

and goeth <0565-aperchomai-> his way, and straightway <2112-

eutheos-> forgetteth <1950-epilanthanomai-> what <3697-hopoios->

manner <3697-hopoios-> of man he was.

25 But whoso <3588-ho-> looketh <3879-parakupto-> into <1519-

eis-> the perfect <5046-teleios-> law <3551-nomos-> of liberty

<1657-eleutheria->, and continueth <3887-parameno-> [therein],

he being <1096-ginomai-> not a forgetful <1953-epilesmone->

hearer <0202-akroates->, but a doer <4163-poietes-> of the work

<2041-ergon->, this <3778-houtos-> man shall be blessed <3107-

makarios-> in his deed <4162-poiesis->.

26 If <1487-ei-> any <1536-ei tis-> man among <1722-en-> you

seem <1380-dokeo-> to be religious <2357-threskos->, and

bridleth <5468-chalinagogeo-> not his tongue <1100-glossa->, but

deceiveth <0538-apatao-> his own <0848-hautou-> heart <2588-

kardia->, this <5127-toutou-> man's religion <2356-threskeia->

[is] vain <3152-mataios->.

27 Pure <2513-katharos-> religion <2356-threskeia-> and

undefiled <0283-amiantos-> before <3844-para-> God <2316-theos->

and the Father <3962-pater-> is this <3778-houtos->, To visit

<1980-episkeptomai-> the fatherless <3737-orphanos-> and widows

<5503-chera-> in their affliction <2347-thlipsis->, [and] to

keep <5083-tereo-> himself <1438-heautou-> unspotted <0784-

aspilos-> from the world <2889-kosmos->.

James 2

1. My brethren <0080-adephos->, have <2192-echo-> not the faith

<4102-pistis-> of our Lord <2962-kurios-> Jesus <2424-Iesous->

Christ <5547-Christos->, [the Lord] of glory <1391-doxa->, with

respect <4382-prosopolepsia-> of persons <4382-prosopolepsia->.

2 For if <1437-ean-> there come <1525-eiserchomai-> unto your

<5216-humon-> assembly <4864-sunagoge-> a man <0435-aner-> with

a gold <5554-chrusodaktulios-> ring <5554-chrusodaktulios->, in

goodly <2986-lampros-> apparel <2066-esthes->, and there come

<1525-eiserchomai-> in also <2532-kai-> a poor <4434-ptochos->

man in vile <4508-rhuparos-> raiment <2066-esthes->;

3 And ye have respect <1914-epiblepo-> to him that weareth

<5409-phoreo-> the gay <2986-lampros-> clothing <2066-esthes->,

and say <2036-epo-> unto him, Sit <2521-kathemai-> thou here

<5602-hode-> in a good <2573-kalos-> place; and say <2036-epo->

to the poor <4434-ptochos->, Stand <2476-histemi-> thou there

<1563-ekei->, or <2228-e-> sit <2521-kathemai-> here <5602-hode-

> under <5259-hupo-> my footstool <5286-hupopodion->:

4 Are ye not then <2532-kai-> partial <1252-diakrino-> in

yourselves <1438-heautou->, and are become <1096-ginomai->

judges <2923-krites-> of evil <4190-poneros-> thoughts <1261-

dialogismos->?

5 Hearken <0191-akouo->, my beloved <0027-agapetos-> brethren

<0080-adephos->, Hath not God <2316-theos-> chosen <1586-

eklegomai-> the poor <4434-ptochos-> of this <5127-toutou->

world <2889-kosmos-> rich <4145-plousios-> in faith <4102-pistis-

>, and heirs <2818-kleronomos-> of the kingdom <0932-basileia->

which <3735-oros-> he hath promised <1861-epaggello-> to them

that love <0025-agapao-> him?

6 But ye have despised <0818-atimazo-> the poor <4434-ptochos->.

Do not rich <4145-plousios-> men oppress <2616-katadunasteuo->

you, and draw <1670-helkuo-> you before <1519-eis-> the judgment

<2922-kriterion-> seats?

7 Do not they blaspheme <0987-blasphemeo-> that worthy <2570-

kalos-> name <3686-onoma-> by the which <3588-ho-> ye are called

<1941-epikaleomai->?

8. If <1487-ei-> ye fulfil <5055-teleo-> the royal <0937-

basilikos-> law <3551-nomos-> according <2596-kata-> to the

scripture <1124-graphe->, Thou shalt love <0025-agapao-> thy

neighbour <4139-plesion-> as thyself <4572-seautou->, ye do

<4160-poieo-> well <2573-kalos->:

9 But if <1487-ei-> ye have respect <4380-prosopolepteo-> to

persons <4380-prosopolepteo->, ye commit <2038-ergazomai-> sin

<0266-hamartia->, and are convinced <1651-elegcho-> of the law

<3551-nomos-> as transgressors <3848-parabates->.

10 For whosoever <3748-hostis-> shall keep <5083-tereo-> the

whole <3650-holos-> law <3551-nomos->, and yet offend <4417-

ptaio-> in one <1520-heis-> [point], he is guilty <1777-enochos-

> of all <3956-pas->.

11 For he that said <2036-epo->, Do not commit <3431-moicheuo->

adultery <3431-moicheuo->, said <2036-epo-> also <2532-kai->, Do

not kill <5407-phoneuo->. Now <1161-de-> if <1487-ei-> thou

commit <3431-moicheuo-> no <3756-ou-> adultery <3431-moicheuo->,

yet <1161-de-> if thou kill <5407-phoneuo->, thou art become

<1096-ginomai-> a transgressor <3848-parabates-> of the law

<3551-nomos->.

12 So <3779-houto-> speak <2980-laleo-> ye, and so <3779-houto-

> do <4160-poieo->, as they that shall be judged <2919-krino->

by the law <3551-nomos-> of liberty <1657-eleutheria->.

13 For he shall have judgment <2920-krisis-> without <0448-

anileos-> mercy <0448-anileos->, that hath shewed <4160-poieo->

no <3361-me-> mercy <1656-eleos->; and mercy <1656-eleos->

rejoiceth <2620-katakauchaomai-> against <2620-katakauchaomai->

judgment <2920-krisis->.

14. What <5101-tis-> [doth it] profit <3786-ophelos->, my

brethren <0080-adephos->, though <1437-ean-> a man <5100-tis->

say <3004-lego-> he hath <2192-echo-> faith <4102-pistis->, and

have <2192-echo-> not works <2041-ergon->? can <1410-dunamai->

faith <4102-pistis-> save <4982-sozo-> him?

15 If <1437-ean-> a brother <0080-adephos-> or <2228-e-> sister

<0079-adelphe-> be naked <1131-gumnos->, and destitute <3007-

leipo-> of daily <2184-ephemeros-> food <5160-trophe->,

16 And one <5100-tis-> of you say <2036-epo-> unto them, Depart

<5217-hupago-> in peace <1515-eirene->, be [ye] warmed <2328-

thermaino-> and filled <5526-chortazo->; notwithstanding ye give

<1325-didomi-> them not those <3588-ho-> things which are

needful <2006-epitedeios-> to the body <4983-soma->; what <5101-

tis-> [doth it] profit <3786-ophelos->?

17 Even <2532-kai-> so <3779-houto-> faith <4102-pistis->, if

<1437-ean-> it hath <2192-echo-> not works <2041-ergon->, is

dead <3498-nekros->, being alone <2596-kata->.

18 Yea <0235-alla->, a man <5100-tis-> may say <2046-ereo->,

Thou hast <2192-echo-> faith <4102-pistis->, and I have works

<2041-ergon->: shew <1166-deiknuo-> me thy faith <4102-pistis->

without <5565-choris-> thy works <2041-ergon->, and I will shew

<1166-deiknuo-> thee my faith <4102-pistis-> by my works <2041-

ergon->.

19 Thou believest <4100-pisteuo-> that there is one <1520-heis-

> God <2316-theos->; thou doest <4160-poieo-> well <2573-kalos->:

the devils <1140-daimonion-> also <2532-kai-> believe <4100-

pisteuo->, and tremble <5425-phrisso->.

20 But wilt <2309-thelo-> thou know <1097-ginosko->, O vain

<2756-kenos-> man <0444-anthropos->, that faith <4102-pistis->

without <5565-choris-> works <2041-ergon-> is dead <3498-nekros-

21 Was not Abraham <0011-Abraam->our father <3962-pater->

justified <1344-dikaioo-> by works <2041-ergon->, when he had

offered <0399-anaphero-> Isaac <2464-Isaak-> his son <5207-huios-

> upon the altar <2379-thusiasterion->?

22 Seest <0991-blepo-> thou how <3754-hoti-> faith <4102-pistis-

> wrought <4903-sunergeo-> with his works <2041-ergon->, and by

works <2041-ergon-> was faith <4102-pistis-> made <5048-teleioo-

> perfect <5048-teleioo->?

23 And the scripture <1124-graphe-> was fulfilled <4137-pleroo-

> which <3588-ho-> saith <3004-lego->, Abraham <0011-Abraam-

>believed <4100-pisteuo-> God <2316-theos->, and it was imputed

<3049-logizomai-> unto him for righteousness <1343-dikaiosune->:

and he was called <2564-kaleo-> the Friend <5384-philos-> of God

<2316-theos->.

24 Ye see <3708-horao-> then <5106-toinun-> how that by works

<2041-ergon-> a man <0444-anthropos-> is justified <1344-dikaioo-

>, and not by faith <4102-pistis-> only <3440-monon->.

25 Likewise <3668-homoios-> also <2532-kai-> was not Rahab

<4460-Rhaab-> the harlot <4204-porne-> justified <1344-dikaioo->

by works <2041-ergon->, when she had received <5264-hupodechomai-

> the messengers <0032-aggelos->, and had sent <1524-eiseimi->

[them] out another <2087-heteros-> way <3598-hodos->?

26 For as the body <4983-soma-> without <5565-choris-> the

spirit <4151-pneuma-> is dead <3498-nekros->, so <3779-houto->

faith <4102-pistis-> without <5565-choris-> works <2041-ergon->

is dead <3498-nekros-> also <2532-kai->.

James 3

1. My brethren <0080-adephos->, be not many <4183-polus->

masters <1320-didaskalos->, knowing <1492-eido-> that we shall

receive <2983-lambano-> the greater <3187-meizon-> condemnation

<2917-krima->.

2 For in many <4183-polus-> things we offend <4417-ptaio-> all

<0537-hapas->. If <1487-ei-> any <1536-ei tis-> man offend <4417-

ptaio-> not in word <3056-logos->, the same <3778-houtos-> [is]

a perfect <5046-teleios-> man <0435-aner->, [and] able <1415-

dunatos-> also <2532-kai-> to bridle <5469-chalinos-> the whole

<3650-holos-> body <4983-soma->.

3 Behold <2400-idou->, we put <0906-ballo-> bits <5469-chalinos-

> in the horses <2462-hippos->' mouths <4750-stoma->, that they

may obey <3982-peitho-> us; and we turn <3329-metago-> about

<3329-metago-> their whole <3650-holos-> body <4983-soma->.

4 Behold <2400-idou-> also <2532-kai-> the ships <4143-ploion->,

which though [they be] so <5082-telikoutos-> great <5082-

telikoutos->, and [are] driven <1643-elauno-> of fierce <4642-

skleros-> winds <0417-anemos->, yet are they turned <3329-metago-

> about <3329-metago-> with a very <1646-elachistos-> small

<1646-elachistos-> helm <4079-pedalion->, whithersoever <0302-an-

> the governor <2116-euthuno-> listeth <1014-boo-lom-ahee->.

5 Even <2532-kai-> so <3779-houto-> the tongue <1100-glossa->

is a little <3398-mikros-> member <3196-melos->, and boasteth

<3166-megalaucheo-> great <3166-megalaucheo-> things. Behold

<2400-idou->, how <2245-helikos-> great <2245-helikos-> a matter

<5208-hule-> a little <3641-oligos-> fire <4442-pur-> kindleth

<0381-anapto->!

6 And the tongue <1100-glossa-> [is] a fire <4442-pur->, a

world <2889-kosmos-> of iniquity <0093-adikia->: so <3779-houto-

> is the tongue <1100-glossa-> among <1722-en-> our members

<3196-melos->, that it defileth <4695-spiloo-> the whole <3650-

holos-> body <4983-soma->, and setteth <5394-phlogizo-> on fire

<5394-phlogizo-> the course <5164-trochos-> of nature <1078-

genesis->; and it is set <5394-phlogizo-> on fire <5394-phlogizo-

> of hell <1067-geena->.

7 For every <3956-pas-> kind <5449-phusis-> of beasts <2342-

therion->, and of birds <4071-peteinon->, and of serpents <2062-

herpeton->, and of things in the sea <1724-enalios->, is tamed

<1150-damazo->, and hath been tamed <1150-damazo-> of mankind

<0442-anthropinos->:

8 But the tongue <1100-glossa-> can <1410-dunamai-> no <3762-

oudeis-> man <0444-anthropos-> tame <1150-damazo->; [it is] an

unruly <0183-akataschetos-> evil <2556-kakos->, full <3324-

mestos-> of deadly <2287-thanatephoros-> poison <2447-ios->.

9 Therewith <0846-autos-> bless <2127-eulogeo-> we God <2316-

theos->, even the Father <3962-pater->; and therewith <0846-

autos-> curse <2672-kataraomai-> we men <0444-anthropos->, which

<3588-ho-> are made <1096-ginomai-> after <2596-kata-> the

similitude <3669-homoiosis-> of God <2316-theos->.

10 Out of the same <0846-autos-> mouth <4750-stoma-> proceedeth

<1831-exerchomai-> blessing <2129-eulogia-> and cursing <2671-

katara->. My brethren <0080-adephos->, these <5023-tauta->

things ought <5534-chre-> not so <3779-houto-> to be.

11 Doth a fountain <4077-pege-> send <1032-bruo-> forth <1032-

bruo-> at <1537-ek-> the same <0846-autos-> place <3692-ope->

sweet <1099-glukus-> [water] and bitter <4089-pikros->?

12 Can <1410-dunamai-> the fig <4808-suke-> tree <4808-suke->,

my brethren <0080-adephos->, bear <4160-poieo-> olive <1636-

elaia-> berries <1636-elaia->? either <2228-e-> a vine <0288-

ampelos->, figs <4810-sukon->? so <3779-houto-> [can] no <3762-

oudeis-> fountain <4077-pege-> both yield <4160-poieo-> salt

<0252-halukos-> water <5204-hudor-> and fresh <1099-glukus->.

13. Who <5101-tis-> [is] a wise <4680-sophos--oneidismos-> man

and endued <1990-epistemon-> with knowledge <1990-epistemon->

among <1722-en-> you? let him shew <1166-deiknuo-> out of a good

<2570-kalos-> conversation <0391-anastrophe-> his works <2041-

ergon-> with meekness <4240-prautes-> of wisdom <4678-sophia->.

14 But if <1487-ei-> ye have <2192-echo-> bitter <4089-pikros->

envying <2205-zelos-> and strife <2052-eritheia-> in your <5216-

humon-> hearts <2588-kardia->, glory <2620-katakauchaomai-> not,

and lie <5574-pseudomai-> not against <2596-kata-> the truth

<0225-aletheia->.

15 This <3778-houtos-> wisdom <4678-sophia-> descendeth <2718-

katerchomai-> not from above <0509-anothen->, but [is] earthly

<1919-epigeios->, sensual <5591-psuchikos->, devilish <1141-

daimoniodes->.

16 For where <3699-hopou-> envying <2205-zelos-> and strife

<2052-eritheia-> [is], there <1563-ekei-> [is] confusion <0181-

akatastasia-> and every <3956-pas-> evil <5337-phaulos-> work

<4229-pragma->.

17 But the wisdom <4678-sophia-> that is from above <0509-

anothen-> is first <4412-proton-> pure <0053-hagnos->, then

<1899-epeita-> peaceable <1516-eirenikos->, gentle <1933-

epieikes->, [and] easy <2138-eupeithes-> to be intreated <2138-

eupeithes->, full <3324-mestos-> of mercy <1656-eleos-> and good

<0018-agathos-> fruits <2590-karpos->, without <0087-adiakritos-

> partiality <0087-adiakritos->, and without <0505-anupokritos->

hypocrisy <0505-anupokritos->.

18 And the fruit <2590-karpos-> of righteousness <1343-

dikaiosune-> is sown <4687-speiro-> in peace <1515-eirene-> of

them that make <4160-poieo-> peace <1515-eirene->.

James 4

1. From whence <4159-pothen-> [come] wars <4171-polemos-> and

fightings <3163-mache-> among <1722-en-> you? [come they] not

hence <1782-enteuthen->, [even] of your <5216-humon-> lusts

<2237-hedone-> that war <4754-strateuomai-> in your <5216-humon-

> members <3196-melos->?

2 Ye lust <1937-epithumeo->, and have <2192-echo-> not: ye kill

<5407-phoneuo->, and desire <2206-zeloo-> to have <2192-echo->,

and cannot <1410-dunamai-> obtain <2013-epitugchano->: ye fight

<3164-machomai-> and war <4170-polemeo->, yet <1161-de-> ye have

<2192-echo-> not, because <1223-dia-> ye ask <0154-aiteo-> not.

3 Ye ask <0154-aiteo->, and receive <2983-lambano-> not,

because <1360-dioti-> ye ask <0154-aiteo-> amiss <2560-kakos->,

that ye may consume <1159-dapanao-> [it] upon your <5216-humon->

lusts <2237-hedone->.

4 Ye adulterers <3432-moichos-> and adulteresses <3428-

moichalis->, know <1492-eido-> ye not that the friendship <5373-

philia-> of the world <2889-kosmos-> is enmity <2189-echthra->

with God <2316-theos->? whosoever <0302-an-> therefore <3767-oun-

> will <1014-boo-lom-ahee-> be a friend <5384-philos-> of the

world <2889-kosmos-> is the enemy <2190-echthros-> of God <2316-

theos->.

5 Do ye think <1380-dokeo-> that the scripture <1124-graphe->

saith <3004-lego-> in vain <2761-kenos->, The spirit <4151-

pneuma-> that dwelleth <2730-katoikeo-> in us lusteth <1971-

epipotheo-> to envy <5355-phthonos->?

6 But he giveth <1325-didomi-> more <3187-meizon-> grace <5485-

charis->. Wherefore <1352-dio-> he saith <3004-lego->, God <2316-

theos-> resisteth <0498-antitassomai-> the proud <5244-

huperephanos->, but giveth <1325-didomi-> grace <5485-charis->

unto the humble <5011-tapeinos->.

7 Submit <5293-hupotasso-> yourselves therefore <3767-oun-> to

God <2316-theos->. Resist <0436-anthistemi-> the devil <1228-

diabolos->, and he will flee <5343-pheugo-> from you.

8 Draw nigh <1448-eggizo-> to God <2316-theos->, and he will

draw nigh <1448-eggizo-> to you. Cleanse <2511-katharizo->

[your] hands <5495-cheir->, [ye] sinners <0268-hamartolos->; and

purify <0048-hagnizo-> [your] hearts <2588-kardia->, [ye] double

<1374-dipsuchos-> minded <1374-dipsuchos->.

9 Be afflicted <5003-talaiporeo->, and mourn <3996-pentheo->,

and weep <2799-klaio->: let your <5216-humon-> laughter <1071-

gelos-> be turned <3344-metastrepho-> to mourning <3997-penthos-

>, and [your <3588-ho->] joy <5479-chara-> to heaviness <2726-

katepheia->.

10 Humble <5013-tapeinoo-> yourselves in the sight <1799-

enopion-> of the Lord <2962-kurios->, and he shall lift <5312-

hupsoo-> you up.

11. Speak <2635-katalaleo-> not evil <2635-katalaleo-> one

<0240-allelon-> of another <0240-allelon->, brethren <0080-

adephos->. He that speaketh <2635-katalaleo-> evil <2635-

katalaleo-> of [his] brother <0080-adephos->, and judgeth <2919-

krino-> his brother <0080-adephos->, speaketh <2635-katalaleo->

evil <2635-katalaleo-> of the law <3551-nomos->, and judgeth

<2919-krino-> the law <3551-nomos->: but if <1487-ei-> thou

judge <2919-krino-> the law <3551-nomos->, thou art <1488-ei->

not a doer <4163-poietes-> of the law <3551-nomos->, but a judge

<2923-krites->.

12 There is one <1520-heis-> lawgiver <3550-nomothetes->, who

<3588-ho-> is able <1410-dunamai-> to save <4982-sozo-> and to

destroy <0622-apollumi->: who <5101-tis-> art <1488-ei-> thou

that judgest <2919-krino-> another <2087-heteros->?

13 Go <0033-age-> to now <3568-nun->, ye that say <3004-lego->,

To day <4594-semeron-> or <2228-e-> to morrow <0839-aurion-> we

will go <4198-poreuomai-> into <1519-eis-> such <3592-hode-> a

city <4172-polis->, and continue <4160-poieo-> there <1563-ekei-

> a year <1763-eniautos->, and buy <1710-emporeuomai-> and sell

<1710-emporeuomai->, and get gain <2770-kerdaino->:

14 Whereas <3748-hostis-> ye know <1987-epistamai-> not what

<3588-ho-> [shall be] on the morrow <0839-aurion->. For what

<4169-poios-> [is] your <5216-humon-> life <2222-zoe->? It is

even <1063-gar-> a vapour <0822-atmis->, that appeareth <5316-

phaino-> for a little <3641-oligos-> time, and then <1899-epeita-

> vanisheth <0853-aphanizo-> away.

15 For that ye [ought] to say <3004-lego->, If <1437-ean-> the

Lord <2962-kurios-> will <2309-thelo->, we shall live <2198-zao-

>, and do <4160-poieo-> this <5124-touto->, or <2228-e-> that.

16 But now <3568-nun-> ye rejoice <2744-kauchaomai-> in your

<5216-humon-> boastings <0212-alazoneia->: all <3956-pas-> such

<5108-toioutos-> rejoicing <2746-kauchesis-> is evil <4190-

poneros->.

17 Therefore <3767-oun-> to him that knoweth <1492-eido-> to do

<4160-poieo-> good <2570-kalos->, and doeth <4160-poieo-> [it]

not, to him it is sin <0266-hamartia->.

James 5

1. Go <0033-age-> to now <3568-nun->, [ye] rich <4145-plousios-

> men, weep <2799-klaio-> and howl <3649-ololuzo-> for your

<5216-humon-> miseries <5004-talaiporia-> that shall come <1904-

eperchomai-> upon [you].

2 Your <5216-humon-> riches <4149-ploutos-> are corrupted <4595-

sepo->, and your <5216-humon-> garments <2440-himation-> are

motheaten <4598-setobrotos->.

3 Your <5216-humon-> gold <5557-chrusos-> and silver <0696-

arguros-> is cankered <2728-katioo->; and the rust <2447-ios->

of them shall be a witness <3142-marturion-> against <2596-kata-

> you, and shall eat <5315-phago-> your <5216-humon-> flesh

<4561-sarx-> as it were fire <4442-pur->. Ye have heaped <2343-

thesaurizo-> treasure <2343-thesaurizo-> together for the last

<2078-eschatos-> days <2250-hemera->.

4 Behold <2400-idou->, the hire <3408-misthos-> of the

labourers <2040-ergates-> who <3588-ho-> have reaped <0270-amao-

> down your <5216-humon-> fields <5561-chora->, which <3588-ho->

is of you kept <0650-apostereo-> back <0650-apostereo-> by fraud

<0650-apostereo->, crieth <2896-krazo->: and the cries <0995-boe-

> of them which have reaped <2325-therizo-> are entered <1525-

eiserchomai-> into <1519-eis-> the ears <3775-ous-> of the Lord

<2962-kurios-> of sabaoth <4519-sabaoth->.

5 Ye have lived <5171-truphao-> in pleasure <5171-truphao-> on

<1909-epi-> the earth <1093-ge->, and been wanton <4684-spatalao-

>; ye have nourished <5142-trepho-> your <5216-humon-> hearts

<2588-kardia->, as in a day <2250-hemera-> of slaughter <4967-

sphage->.

6 Ye have condemned <2613-katadikazo-> [and] killed <5407-

phoneuo-> the just <1342-dikaios->; [and] he doth not resist

<0498-antitassomai-> you.

7 Be patient <3114-makrothumeo-> therefore <3767-oun->,

brethren <0080-adephos->, unto the coming <3952-parousia-> of

the Lord <2962-kurios->. Behold <2400-idou->, the husbandman

<1092-georgos-> waiteth <1551-ekdechomai-> for the precious

<5093-timios-> fruit <2590-karpos-> of the earth <1093-ge->, and

hath long <3114-makrothumeo-> patience <3114-makrothumeo-> for

it, until <2193-heos-> he receive <2983-lambano-> the early

<4406-proimos-> and latter <3797-opsimos-> rain <5205-huetos->.

8 Be ye also <2532-kai-> patient <3114-makrothumeo->; stablish

<4741-sterizo-> your <5216-humon-> hearts <2588-kardia->: for

the coming <3952-parousia-> of the Lord <2962-kurios-> draweth

nigh <1448-eggizo->.

9 Grudge <4727-stenazo-> not one <0240-allelon-> against <2596-

kata-> another <0240-allelon->, brethren <0080-adephos->, lest

<3361-me-> ye be condemned <2632-katakrino->: behold <2400-idou-

>, the judge <2923-krites-> standeth <2476-histemi-> before

<4253-pro-> the door <2374-thura->.

10 Take <2983-lambano->, my brethren <0080-adephos->, the

prophets <4396-prophetes->, who <3739-hos-> have spoken <2980-

laleo-> in the name <3686-onoma-> of the Lord <2962-kurios->,

for an example <5262-hupodeigma-> of suffering <2552-kakopatheia-

> affliction <2552-kakopatheia->, and of patience <3115-

makrothumia->.

11 Behold <2400-idou->, we count <3106-makarizo-> them happy

<3106-makarizo-> which endure <5278-hupomeno->. Ye have heard

<0191-akouo-> of the patience <5281-hupomone-> of Job <2492-Iob-

>, and have seen <1492-eido-> the end <5056-telos-> of the Lord

<2962-kurios->; that the Lord <2962-kurios-> is very <4184-

polusplagchnos-> pitiful <4184-polusplagchnos->, and of tender

<3629-oiktirmon-> mercy <3629-oiktirmon->.

12. But above <4253-pro-> all <3956-pas-> things, my brethren

<0080-adephos->, swear <3660-omnuo-> not, neither <3383-mete->

by heaven <3772-ouranos->, neither <3383-mete-> by the earth

<1093-ge->, neither <3383-mete-> by any <5100-tis-> other <0243-

allos-> oath <3727-horkos->: but let your <5216-humon-> yea

<3483-nai-> be yea <3483-nai->; and [your <3588-ho->] nay <3756-

ou->, nay <3756-ou->; lest <3361-me-> ye fall <4098-pipto-> into

<5259-hupo-> condemnation <5272-hupokrisis->.

13 Is any <5100-tis-> among <1722-en-> you afflicted <2553-

kakopatheo->? let him pray <4336-proseuchomai->. Is any <5100-

tis-> merry <2114-euthumeo->? let him sing <5567-psallo-> psalms

<5567-psallo->.

14 Is any <5100-tis-> sick <0770-astheneo-> among <1722-en->

you? let him call <4341-proskaleomai-> for the elders <4245-

presbuteros-> of the church <1577-ekklesia->; and let them pray

<4336-proseuchomai-> over <1909-epi-> him, anointing <0218-

aleipho-> him with oil <1637-elaion-> in the name <3686-onoma->

of the Lord <2962-kurios->:

15 And the prayer <2171-euche-> of faith <4102-pistis-> shall

save <4982-sozo-> the sick <2577-kamno->, and the Lord <2962-

kurios-> shall raise <1453-egeiro-> him up; and if he have

committed <4160-poieo-> sins <0266-hamartia->, they shall be

forgiven <0863-aphiemi-> him.

16 Confess <1843-exomologeo-> [your <3588-ho->] faults <3900-

paraptoma-> one <0240-allelon-> to another <0240-allelon->, and

pray <2172-euchomai-> one <0240-allelon-> for another <0240-

allelon->, that ye may be healed <2390-iaomai->. The effectual

<1754-energeo-> fervent prayer <1162-deesis-> of a righteous

<1342-dikaios-> man availeth <2480-ischuo-> much <4183-polus->.

17 Elias <2243-Helias-> was a man <0444-anthropos-> subject

<3663-homoiopathes-> to like <3663-homoiopathes-> passions <3663-

homoiopathes-> as we are, and he prayed <4336-proseuchomai->

earnestly <4335-proseuche-> that it might not rain <1026-brecho-

>: and it rained <1026-brecho-> not on <1909-epi-> the earth

<1093-ge-> by the space of three <5140-treis-> years <1763-

eniautos-> and six <1803-hex-> months <3376-men->.

18 And he prayed <4336-proseuchomai-> again <3825-palin->, and

the heaven <3772-ouranos-> gave <1325-didomi-> rain <5205-huetos-

>, and the earth <1093-ge-> brought <0985-blastano-> forth <0985-

blastano-> her fruit <2590-karpos->.

19 Brethren <0080-adephos->, if <1437-ean-> any <1536-ei tis->

of you do err <4105-planao-> from the truth <0225-aletheia->,

and one <5100-tis-> convert <1994-epistrepho-> him;

20 Let him know <1097-ginosko->, that he which converteth <1994-

epistrepho-> the sinner <0268-hamartolos-> from the error <4106-

plane-> of his way <3598-hodos-> shall save <4982-sozo-> a soul

<5590-psuche-> from death <2288-thanatos->, and shall hide <2572-

kalupto-> a multitude <4128-plethos-> of sins <0266-hamartia->.
