1:1 | James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which are scattered abroad, greeting. |
1:2 | My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations; |
1:3 | Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience. |
1:4 | But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing. |
1:5 | 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. |
1:5 | 你們中間若有缺少智慧的、應當求那厚賜與眾人、也不斥責人的 神、主就必賜給他。 |
1:5 | 你们中间若有缺少智慧的,应当求那厚赐与众人,也不斥责人的神,主就必赐给他。 |
1ki:3:9 | Give therefore thy servant an understanding heart to judge thy people, that I may discern between good and bad: for who is able to judge this thy so great a people? |
1ki:3:10 | And the speech pleased the LORD, that Solomon had asked this thing. |
1ki:3:11 | And God said unto him, Because thou hast asked this thing, and hast not asked for thyself long life; neither hast asked riches for thyself, nor hast asked the life of thine enemies; but hast asked for thyself understanding to discern judgment; |
1ki:3:12 | Behold, I have done according to thy words: lo, I have given thee a wise and an understanding heart; so that there was none like thee before thee, neither after thee shall any arise like unto thee. |
pro:2:2 | So that thou incline thine ear unto wisdom, and apply thine heart to understanding; |
pro:2:6 | For the LORD giveth wisdom: out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding. |
pro:28:5 | Evil men understand not judgment: but they that seek the LORD understand all things. |
mak:11:24 | Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them. |

1:6 | 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. |
1:7 | For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord. |
1:8 | A double minded man is unstable in all his ways. |
1:9 | Let the brother of low degree rejoice in that he is exalted: |
1:10 | But the rich, in that he is made low: because as the flower of the grass he shall pass away. |
1:11 | 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. |
1:12 | 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. |
1:13 | 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: |
1:14 | But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed. |
1:15 | Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death. |
1:16 | Do not err, my beloved brethren. |
1:17 | 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. |
1:18 | Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures. |
1:19 | Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath: |
1:20 | For the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God. |
1:21 | Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls. |
1:22 | But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves. |
1:23 | 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: |
1:24 | For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was. |
1:25 | 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. |
1:26 | 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. |
1:27 | 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. |
