James Flashcards
Jas1:1
James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which are scattered abroad, greeting.
Jas1:2
My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations;
Jas1:3
Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience.
Jas1:4
But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.
Jas1:5
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.
Jas1:6
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.
Jas1:7
For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord.
Jas1:8
A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.
Jas1:9
Let the brother of low degree rejoice in that he is exalted:
Jas1:10
But the rich, in that he is made low: because as the flower of the grass he shall pass away.
Jas1:11
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.
Jas1:12
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.
Jas1:13
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:
Jas1:14
But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed.
Jas1:15
Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.
Jas1:16
Do not err, my beloved brethren.
Jas1:17
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.
Jas1:18
Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures.
Jas1:19
Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath:
Jas1:20
For the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God.
Jas1:21
Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls.
Jas1:22
But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.
Jas1:23
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:
Jas1:24
For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was.
Jas1:25
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.
Jas1:26
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.
Jas1:27
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.
Jas2:1
My brethren, have not the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory, with respect of persons.
Jas2:2
For if there come unto your assembly a man with a gold ring, in goodly apparel, and there come in also a poor man in vile raiment;
Jas2:3
And ye have respect to him that weareth the gay clothing, and say unto him, Sit thou here in a good place; and say to the poor, Stand thou there, or sit here under my footstool:
Jas2:4
Are ye not then partial in yourselves, and are become judges of evil thoughts?
Jas2:5
Hearken, my beloved brethren, Hath not God chosen the poor of this world rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which he hath promised to them that love him?
Jas2:6
But ye have despised the poor. Do not rich men oppress you, and draw you before the judgment seats?
Jas2:7
Do not they blaspheme that worthy name by the which ye are called?
Jas2:8
If ye fulfil the royal law according to the scripture, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself, ye do well:
Jas2:9
But if ye have respect to persons, ye commit sin, and are convinced of the law as transgressors.
Jas2:10
For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all.
Jas2:11
For he that said, Do not commit adultery, said also, Do not kill. Now if thou commit no adultery, yet if thou kill, thou art become a transgressor of the law.
Jas2:12
So speak ye, and so do, as they that shall be judged by the law of liberty.
Jas2:13
For he shall have judgment without mercy, that hath shewed no mercy; and mercy rejoiceth against judgment.
Jas2:14
What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? can faith save him?
Jas2:15
If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food,
Jas2:16
And one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be ye warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the body; what doth it profit?
