James

Chapter 1

1 James,2385 a servant1401 of God2316 and of the Lord2962 Jesus2424 Christ,5547 to the twelve1427 tribes5443 which3739 are scattered1290 abroad,1290 greeting.5463

2 My brothers,80 count2233 it all3956 joy5479 when3752 you fall4045 into divers4164 temptations;3986

3 Knowing1097 this, that the trying1383 of your5216 faith4102 works2716 patience.5281

4 But let patience5281 have2192 her perfect5046 work,2041 that you may be perfect5046 and entire,3648 wanting3007 nothing.3367

5 If1487 any5100 of you lack3007 wisdom,4678 let him ask154 of God,2316 that gives1325 to all3956 men liberally,574 and upbraides3679 not; and it shall be given1325 him.

6 But let him ask154 in faith,4102 nothing3367 wavering.1252 For he that wavers1252 is like1503 a wave2830 of the sea2281 driven416 with the wind416 and tossed.4494

7 For let not that man444 think3633 that he shall receive2983 any5100 thing of the Lord.2962

8 A double1374 minded1374 man435 is unstable182 in all3956 his ways.3598

9 Let the brother80 of low5011 degree5011 rejoice2744 in that he is exalted:5311

10 But the rich,4145 in that he is made5014 low:5014 because3754 as the flower438 of the grass5528 he shall pass3928 away.

11 For the sun2246 is no sooner risen393 with a burning2742 heat,2742 but it wither3583 the grass,5528 and the flower438 thereof846 falls,1601 and the grace2143 of the fashion4383 of it perishes:622 so3779 also2532 shall the rich4145 man fade3133 away in his ways.4197

12 Blessed3107 is the man435 that endures5278 temptation:3986 for when he is tried,1384 he shall receive2983 the crown4735 of life,2222 which3739 the Lord2962 has promised1861 to them that love25 him.

13 Let no3367 man3367 say3004 when he is tempted,3985 I am tempted3985 of God:2316 for God2316 cannot551 be tempted551 with evil,2556 neither2582 3762 tempts3985 he any3762 man:3762

14 But every1538 man is tempted,3985 when he is drawn1828 away of his own2398 lust,1939 and enticed.1185

15 Then1534 when lust1939 has conceived,4815 it brings616 forth616 sin:266 and sin,266 when it is finished,658 brings5088 forth5088 death.2288

16 Do not err,4105 my beloved27 brothers.80

17 Every3956 good18 gift1394 and every3956 perfect5046 gift1394 is from above,509 and comes2597 down2597 from the Father3962 of lights,5457 with whom3739 is no3756 ficklenss,3883 neither2228 shadow644 of turning.5157

18 Of his own will1014 begat616 he us with the word3056 of truth,225 that we should be a kind5100 of first fruits536 of his creatures.2938

19 Why,5620 my beloved27 brothers,80 let every3956 man444 be swift5036 to hear,191 slow1021 to speak,2980 slow1021 to wrath:3709

20 For the wrath3709 of man435 works2716 not the righteousness1343 of God.2316

21 Why1352 lay659 apart659 all3956 filthiness4507 and superfluity4050 of naughtiness,2549 and receive1209 with meekness4240 the engrafted1721 word,3056 which3588 is able1410 to save4982 your5216 souls.5590

22 But be you doers4163 of the word,3056 and not hearers202 only,3440 deceiving3884 your1438 own selves.846

23 For if1487 any1536 be a hearer202 of the word,3056 and not a doer,4163 he is like1503 to a man435 beholding2657 his natural1078 face4383 in a glass:2072

24 For he beholds2657 himself,1438 and goes565 his way,1624 and straightway2112 forgets1950 what3697 manner3697 of man he was.

25 But whoever3588 looks3879 into1519 the perfect5046 law3551 of liberty,1657 and continues3887 therein, he being1096 not a forgetful1953 hearer,202 but a doer4163 of the work,2041 this3778 man shall be blessed3107 in his deed.4162

26 If1487 any1536 man among1722 you seem1380 to be religious,2357 and bridles5468 not his tongue,1100 but deceives538 his own848 heart,2588 this5127 man's religion2356 is vain.3152

27 Pure2513 religion2356 and undefiled283 before3844 God2316 and the Father3962 is this,3778 To visit1980 the fatherless3737 and widows5503 in their affliction,2347 and to keep5083 himself1438 unspotted784 from the world.2889

雅各書

第1章

1 上帝及主耶穌基督僕雅各、請散處十二支派安、

2 兄弟歷試諸艱、當以爲喜、

3 因知爾信主、試以艱難、則忍自生、

4 惟恒忍至極、則全備無缺、

5 有人智不足、當求上帝、上帝博施、不汝瑕疵、必賜所求、

6 祈時當信勿疑、疑者譬之海浪、風吹盪漾、

7 欲希主恩、終不能得、

8 猶豫不决者、行弗篤、

9 兄弟卑者、以升高爲喜、

10 富者、以居卑爲樂、譬之草花、不免凋枯、

11 日出曝之、草枯花謝、其美亡矣、富者必衰亦如是、

12 受患難而能忍、必有福祉、以歷試後、可得永生之賞、若戴冠冕、主以賜許愛己者、

13 見誘之人、勿言爲上帝所誘、蓋上帝不爲惡誘、而亦不誘人、

14 人而見誘、爲欲所餌、

15 欲動生惡、惡盈致死、

16 凡我良朋、勿爲人所惑、

17 善施大賚、均自上出、由昭明之父而降、彼毫釐不爽、晷刻不移、

18 自行己志、以眞道生我、爲億兆首宗主之人、

19 凡我良朋、宜速聽、宜徐言、宜懲忿、

20 蓋人忿怒、無益於上帝道、

21 故當去邪穢、遠諸惡、道栽培於心、祗承以救爾魂、

22 不第聞道已也、實踐之、毋自欺、

23 聞而不行者、譬人以鏡鑒面、

24 過此以往、其形容若何、遂忘之矣、

25 不强制人之良法、人詳察而常目在之、非猶夫聞而忘者、必若遵而行者、如是則得福、

26 人自謂虔共、如不捫厥舌、乃迷厥心、則其虔共徒然、

27 惟眷顧孤寡於患難間、處世而自守無玷、是誠虔共、無纖垢於父上帝前、
