James 1
1 James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which are in the Dispersion: Greetings.
James of God and of [the] Lord Jesus Christ a servant To the twelve tribes in the Dispersion Greeting.
2 Count it all joy, my brothers, when you fall into various temptations,
All joy do esteem [it], brothers of mine, when trials you may fall into various,
3 knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance.
knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance;
4 Let endurance have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.
And endurance work [its] perfect should have, so that you may be perfect and complete in nothing lacking.
5 But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him.
If now any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask from the [One] giving God to all generously and (not *NK+o) finding fault, and it will be given to him.
6 But let him ask in faith, without any doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, driven by the wind and tossed.
he should ask however in faith nothing doubting; The [one] for doubting he has been likened to a wave of [the] sea being blown by the wind and being tossed by the wind.
7 For that man shouldn’t think that he will receive anything from the Lord.
Not for should suppose the man that that he will receive anything from the Lord;
8 He is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.
[He is] a man double-minded unstable in all the ways of him.
9 Let the brother in humble circumstances glory in his high position;
should boast however the brother of low degree in the exaltation of him,
10 and the rich, in that he is made humble, because like the flower in the grass, he will pass away.
he who [is] then rich in the humiliation of him because like a flower of grass he will pass away.
11 For the sun arises with the scorching wind and withers the grass; and the flower in it falls, and the beauty of its appearance perishes. So the rich man will also fade away in his pursuits.
Has risen for the sun with [its] burning heat and withered the grass and the flower of it has fallen and the beauty of the appearance of it has perished; Thus also the rich [man] in the midst of the pursuits of him will fade away.
12 Blessed is a person who endures temptation, for when he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life which the Lord promised to those who love him.
Blessed [is the] man who endures trial, because approved having been he will receive the crown of life that He has promised (the Lord *K) to those loving Him.
13 Let no man say when he is tempted, “I am tempted by God,” for God can’t be tempted by evil, and he himself tempts no one.
No one being tempted should say that By God I am being tempted; For God unable to be tempted is by evils, tempts now He Himself no [one];
14 But each one is tempted when he is drawn away by his own lust and enticed.
A man however is tempted by the own desire being drawn away and being enticed;
15 Then the lust, when it has conceived, bears sin. The sin, when it is full grown, produces death.
Then desire having conceived it gives birth to sin, and sin having become fully grown it brings forth death.
16 Don’t be deceived, my beloved brothers.
Not do be misled, brothers of mine beloved;
17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom can be no variation nor turning shadow.
Every act of giving good and every gift perfect from above is coming down from the Father of lights with whom not there is variation or of shifting shadow.
18 Of his own will he gave birth to us by the word of truth, that we should be a kind of first fruits of his creatures.
Having willed [it] He brought forth us by [the] word of truth, for to be us firstfruits a certain of His creatures.
19 So, then, my beloved brothers, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, and slow to anger;
(You should know *N+KO) brothers of mine beloved; should be (however *no) every man swift unto to hear, slow unto to speak, slow unto anger.
20 for the anger of man doesn’t produce the righteousness of God.
[the] anger for of man [the] righteousness of God not (works. *N+kO)
21 Therefore, putting away all filthiness and overflowing of wickedness, receive with humility the implanted word, which is able to save your souls.
Therefore having put aside all filthiness and excess of wickedness in humility do receive the implanted word which is being able to save the souls of you.
22 But be doers of the word, and not only hearers, deluding your own selves.
do be however doers of [the] word and not only hearers deceiving yourselves.
23 For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man looking at his natural face in a mirror;
because if anyone a hearer of [the] word is and not a doer, this one has been likened to a man looking at the face the natural of him in a mirror;
24 for he sees himself, and goes away, and immediately forgets what kind of man he was.
he has viewed for himself and has gone away and immediately he has forgotten what like he was.
25 But he who looks into the perfect law of freedom and continues, not being a hearer who forgets but a doer of the work, this man will be blessed in what he does.
The [one] however having looked intently into [the] law perfect that of freedom and having continued in [it], (this *k) not a hearer forgetful having been but a doer of [the] work — this one blessed in the work to be done by him will be.
26 If anyone among you thinks himself to be religious while he doesn’t bridle his tongue, but deceives his heart, this man’s religion is worthless.
If anyone seems religious to be (among you *K) not bridling [the] tongue (of him *NK+o) but deceiving [the] heart (of him, *NK+o) of this one worthless [is] the religion.
27 Pure religion and undefiled before our God and Father is this: to visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained by the world.
Religion pure and undefiled before the God and Father this is, to visit orphans and widows in the tribulation of them, unstained oneself to keep from the world.
