James 1:13-27

13Let noG3367 oneG3367 sayG3004 when he is temptedG3985, “1I am being temptedG3985 2by GodG2316”; for GodG2316 cannotG551 be temptedG551 3by evilG2556, and He HimselfG846 does not temptG3985 anyoneG3762. 14But eachG1538 oneG1538 is temptedG3985 when he is carriedG1828 awayG1828 and enticedG1185 by his ownG2398 lustG1939. 15ThenG1534 4when lustG1939 has conceivedG4815, it givesG5088 birthG5088 to sinG266; and when 5sinG266 6is accomplishedG658, it bringsG616 forthG616 deathG2288. 167Do not be 8deceivedG4105, 9my belovedG27 brethrenG80. 17EveryG3956 goodG18 thingG1394 givenG1394 and everyG3956 perfectG5046 giftG1434 is 10from aboveG509, comingG2597 downG2597 from 11the FatherG3962 of lightsG5457, 12with whomG3739 thereG1762 is noG3756 variationG3883 orG2228 13shiftingG5157 shadowG644. 18In the exercise of 14His willG1014 He 15broughtG616 us forthG616 by 16the wordG3056 of truthG225, soG1519 that we would be 17a kindG5100 of 18firstG536 fruitsG536 19among His creaturesG2938.

1920This 21you knowG3609, 22my belovedG27 brethrenG80. But everyoneG3956 must be quickG5036 to hearG191, 23slowG1021 to speakG2980 and 24slowG1021 to angerG3709; 20for 25the angerG3709 of manG435 does not achieveG2038 the righteousnessG1343 of GodG2316. 21ThereforeG1352, 26puttingG659 asideG659 allG3956 filthinessG4507 and all 27that remainsG4050 of wickednessG2549, in 28humilityG4240 receiveG1209 29the wordG3056 implantedG1721, which is ableG1410 to saveG4982 your soulsG5590. 2230But proveG1096 yourselves doersG4163 of the wordG3056, and not merelyG3441 hearersG202 who deludeG3884 themselvesG1438. 23For ifG1487 anyoneG5100 is a hearerG202 of the wordG3056 and not a doerG4163, he is likeG1858 a manG435 who looksG2657 at his 31naturalG1078 faceG4383 32in a mirrorG2072; 24for once he has lookedG2657 at himselfG1438 and goneG565 awayG565, 33he has immediatelyG2112 forgottenG1950 whatG3697 kindG3697 of personG3697 he was. 25But one who looksG3879 intentlyG3879 at the perfectG5046 lawG3551, 34the law of libertyG1657, and abidesG3887 by it, not having becomeG1096 a forgetfulG1953 hearerG202 but 35an effectualG2041 doerG4163, thisG3778 manG3778 will be 36blessedG3107 in 37whatG4162 he doesG4162.

26IfG1487 anyoneG5100 thinksG1380 himself to be religiousG2357, and yet does not 3839bridleG5468 his tongueG1100 but deceivesG538 his own heartG2588, thisG3778 man’sG3778 religionG2356 is worthlessG3152. 27PureG2513 and undefiledG283 religionG2356 40in the sightG3844 of our GodG2316 and FatherG3962 is thisG3778: to 41visitG1980 42orphansG3737 and widowsG5503 in their distressG2347, and to keepG5083 oneselfG1438 unstainedG784 43by 44the worldG2889.
