The Bible, King James version, Book 59: James
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.
