1James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which are scattered abroad, greeting.

4But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.
η δε υπομονη εργον τελειον εχετω ινα ητε τελειοι και ολοκληροι εν μηδενι λειπομενοι (4928)

5If 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.
ει δε τις υμων λειπεται σοφιας αιτειτω παρα του διδοντος θεου πασιν απλως και μη ονειδιζοντος και δοθησεται αυτω (11332)

6But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed.
αιτειτω δε εν πιστει μηδεν διακρινομενος ο γαρ διακρινομενος εοικεν κλυδωνι θαλασσης ανεμιζομενω και ριπιζομενω (8040)
See also: Matthew 21:21-22, Hebrews 11:6, Mark 11:22-24, Luke 9:62, Hebrews 10:23, Ephesians 4:14, James 5:15, Matthew 14:31, James 4:3, Hebrews 13:9, 1 Timothy 2:8, Exodus 17:12, Hebrews 10:22, Genesis 49:4, Matthew 11:7, Deuteronomy 22:9, Luke 7:24, 2 Corinthians 6:13
7For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord.
μη γαρ οιεσθω ο ανθρωπος εκεινος οτι ληψεται τι παρα του κυριου (6682)
8A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.
ανηρ διψυχος ακαταστατος εν πασαις ταις οδοις αυτου (6120)
See also: Psalms 51:10, 1 Kings 18:21, Matthew 6:24, James 4:8, Revelation 3:15, Isaiah 29:13, 2 Peter 2:14, 2 Kings 17:41, Psalms 119:113, 2 Peter 3:16, 2 Kings 17:33, 2 Chronicles 25:2, Psalms 12:2, Psalms 119:69, Hosea 7:8-11, Hosea 10:2, Genesis 19:30, Acts 15:38, Leviticus 27:10
9Let the brother of low degree rejoice in that he is exalted:
καυχασθω δε ο αδελφος ο ταπεινος εν τω υψει αυτου (7147)
See also: Mark 8:36, Jeremiah 9:23-24, Proverbs 19:1, James 2:5-6, 1 Timothy 6:17, Habakkuk 3:18, 1 Peter 1:6, 1 Corinthians 1:26, 2 Corinthians 6:10, Psalms 86:1, Psalms 113:7-8, 1 Peter 5:6, 1 Samuel 2:7, Psalms 62:9, Luke 6:20, 2 Corinthians 10:17, Revelation 2:9, Luke 1:52, Proverbs 18:23, Isaiah 29:19
10But the rich, in that he is made low: because as the flower of the grass he shall pass away.
ο δε πλουσιος εν τη ταπεινωσει αυτου οτι ως ανθος χορτου παρελευσεται (8521)
See also: Job 14:2, 1 Peter 1:24, Isaiah 40:6, Matthew 5:3, James 4:14, Psalms 103:15, Psalms 92:7, Isaiah 51:12, 1 John 2:17, Psalms 37:2, Matthew 6:30, 1 Timothy 6:17, Psalms 49:12, Psalms 90:5-6, Exodus 2:21, Psalms 58:8, Psalms 102:11, Luke 19:8, 1 Corinthians 7:31, 2 Kings 19:26
11For 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.
ανετειλεν γαρ ο ηλιος συν τω καυσωνι και εξηρανεν τον χορτον και το ανθος αυτου εξεπεσεν και η ευπρεπεια του προσωπου αυτου απωλετο ουτως και ο πλουσιος εν ταις πορειαις αυτου μαρανθησεται (20032)

12Blessed 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.
μακαριος ανηρ ος υπομενει πειρασμον οτι δοκιμος γενομενος ληψεται τον στεφανον της ζωης ον επηγγειλατο ο κυριος τοις αγαπωσιν αυτον (11598)

13Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man:
μηδεις πειραζομενος λεγετω οτι απο του θεου πειραζομαι ο γαρ θεος απειραστος εστιν κακων πειραζει δε αυτος ουδενα (8766)
See also: Psalms 101:3, Matthew 15:19, Genesis 3:12, James 1:12, Psalms 141:4, Habakkuk 2:12-13, Romans 7:13, 2 Samuel 24:1, Job 34:10, 1 Thessalonians 3:5, John 13:2, Proverbs 12:26, Deuteronomy 29:4, 2 Chronicles 32:31, Romans 9:19-20, James 1:2, 1 Chronicles 21:1, John 13:27, Revelation 17:17, Exodus 8:32
14But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed.
εκαστος δε πειραζεται υπο της ιδιας επιθυμιας εξελκομενος και δελεαζομενος (4435)
See also: Proverbs 4:23, Jeremiah 17:9, Mark 7:21-22, Ephesians 4:22, Job 31:1, Romans 8:6, Matthew 5:28, Genesis 3:6, Matthew 15:18, James 4:1, Hebrews 3:13, Romans 8:13, Romans 7:13, Mark 7:20, Proverbs 6:25, Isaiah 44:20, Genesis 6:5, 2 Samuel 11:4, Romans 7:11, Job 31:9
15Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.
ειτα η επιθυμια συλλαβουσα τικτει αμαρτιαν η δε αμαρτια αποτελεσθεισα αποκυει θανατον (5814)

17Every 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.
πασα δοσις αγαθη και παν δωρημα τελειον ανωθεν εστιν καταβαινον απο του πατρος των φωτων παρ ω ουκ ενι παραλλαγη η τροπης αποσκιασμα (12809)

18Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures.
βουληθεις απεκυησεν ημας λογω αληθειας εις το ειναι ημας απαρχην τινα των αυτου κτισματων (9072)

19Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath:
ωστε αδελφοι μου αγαπητοι εστω πας ανθρωπος ταχυς εις το ακουσαι βραδυς εις το λαλησαι βραδυς εις οργην (11317)
See also: Proverbs 17:27, Proverbs 21:23, Proverbs 14:29, Proverbs 10:19, Proverbs 18:13, Ephesians 4:26, Proverbs 13:3, Proverbs 16:32, Ecclesiastes 7:8-9, Proverbs 15:18, Ecclesiastes 5:1-3, Colossians 3:8, Ephesians 4:31, Proverbs 18:21, Proverbs 15:2, Proverbs 19:11, Colossians 3:15, Proverbs 14:17, Proverbs 25:28, 2 Timothy 2:24
20For the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God.
οργη γαρ ανδρος δικαιοσυνην θεου ου κατεργαζεται (3240)
See also: 2 Timothy 2:24-25, Ephesians 4:26, James 3:17-18, Colossians 3:8, Philippians 2:14, Numbers 20:11-12, James 3:18, Ecclesiastes 9:17, Mark 9:50, Proverbs 17:19, Hebrews 11:25, Joshua 7:19, 2 Samuel 19:43, 1 Kings 6:7
21Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls.
διο αποθεμενοι πασαν ρυπαριαν και περισσειαν κακιας εν πραυτητι δεξασθε τον εμφυτον λογον τον δυναμενον σωσαι τας ψυχας υμων (11981)
See also: Hebrews 8:10, Psalms 119:9, Ephesians 4:22, Luke 11:28, Matthew 5:5, Matthew 7:24, Ephesians 1:13, 1 Peter 2:11, John 6:63, John 17:17, Psalms 25:9, 1 Peter 2:1, Colossians 3:5-8, Romans 13:12, Psalms 19:7, Hebrews 12:1, James 4:8, James 3:13, 2 Timothy 3:15-17, Titus 2:11
22But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.
γινεσθε δε ποιηται λογου και μη μονον ακροαται παραλογιζομενοι εαυτους (4128)
See also: Romans 2:13, Matthew 7:21, Luke 6:46-48, Joshua 1:8, John 13:17, James 4:17, 1 John 2:3, Luke 11:28, James 2:14-20, Matthew 12:50, Philippians 4:9, Colossians 3:17, Luke 6:47, James 1:26, Galatians 6:7, Revelation 22:7, 1 John 3:7, Proverbs 14:12, Luke 12:47-48, 3 John 1:11
23For 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:
οτι ει τις ακροατης λογου εστιν και ου ποιητης ουτος εοικεν ανδρι κατανοουντι το προσωπον της γενεσεως αυτου εν εσοπτρω (12934)
See also: Matthew 7:26-27, 2 Corinthians 3:18, James 2:14-26, Ezekiel 33:31-32, Luke 6:47, Jeremiah 44:16, 1 Corinthians 13:12, Luke 8:5, Matthew 20:16, James 1:25, Luke 8:12, John 3:20, Psalms 119:16, Acts 26:28
24For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was.
κατενοησεν γαρ εαυτον και απεληλυθεν και ευθεως επελαθετο οποιος ην (4801)
See also: Luke 6:41, 2 Peter 3:11, Luke 1:66, Luke 7:39, Judges 8:18, Matthew 8:27, 1 Thessalonians 1:5
25But 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.
ο δε παρακυψας εις νομον τελειον τον της ελευθεριας και παραμεινας ουτος ουκ ακροατης επιλησμονης γενομενος αλλα ποιητης εργου ουτος μακαριος εν τη ποιησει αυτου εσται (13414)

26If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man’s religion is vain.
ει τις δοκει θρησκος ειναι εν υμιν μη χαλιναγωγων γλωσσαν αυτου αλλ απατων καρδιαν αυτου τουτου ματαιος η θρησκεια (11896)
See also: Ephesians 4:29, Psalms 141:3, James 3:2, 1 Peter 3:10, Proverbs 13:3, Ephesians 5:4, James 1:22, Psalms 34:13, Proverbs 19:1, Psalms 39:1, Proverbs 21:23, Proverbs 10:31, Galatians 6:7, Proverbs 10:19, Colossians 4:6, James 1:19, Proverbs 4:24, 1 John 1:8, Ecclesiastes 5:6, Mark 7:7
27Pure 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.
θρησκεια καθαρα και αμιαντος παρα τω θεω και πατρι αυτη εστιν επισκεπτεσθαι ορφανους και χηρας εν τη θλιψει αυτων ασπιλον εαυτον τηρειν απο του κοσμου (14475)
