    James writes a letter to encourage believers facing trials. He explains that enduring trials with patience and wisdom from God produces spiritual maturity. He warns against doubting God's goodness when tempted and advises believers to receive God's word with humility so that they may become doers of the word, not just hearers. True religion, James says, is defined by compassionate acts and moral purity.

    JAMES 1

    • 1 James, a bondservant of God and of the Lord Jesus


    Christ, to the twelve tribes which are scattered abroad:
    Greetings.
    • 2 My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various
    trials,
    • 3 knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience.
    • 4 But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be
    perfect and complete, lacking nothing.
    • 5 If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who
    gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be
    given to him.
    • 6 But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who
    doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the
    wind.
    • 7 For let not that man suppose that he will receive
    anything from the Lord;
    • 8 he is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.
    • 9 Let the lowly brother glory om his exaltation,
    • 10 but the rich in his humiliation, because as a flower of
    the field he will pass away.
    • 11 For no sooner has the sun risen with a burning heat
    than it withers the grass; its flower falls, and its beautiful
    appearance perishes. So the rich man also will fade away
    in his pursuits.
    • 12 Blessed is the man who endures temptation; for when
    he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life
    which the Lord has promised to those who live Him.
    • 13 Let no one say when he is tempted, “I am tempted by
    God’, for God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does He
    Himself tempt anyone.
    • 14 But each one is tempted when he is drawn away by his
    own desires and enticed.
    • 15 Then, when desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin;
    and sin, when it is full-grown, brings forth death.
    • 16 Do not be deceived my beloved brethren.
    • 17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above,
    and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom
    there is no variation or shadow of turning.
    • 18 Of His own will He brought us forth by the word of
    truth, that we might be a kind of firstfruits of His creatures.
    • 19 So then, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift
    to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath;
    • 20 for the wrath of man does not produce the
    righteousness of God.
    • 21 Therefore lay aside all filthiness and overflow of
    wickedness, and receive with meekness the implanted
    word, which is able to save your souls.
    • 22 But be doers of the word, and not hearers only,
    deceiving yourselves.
    • 23 For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer,
    he is like a man observing his natural face in a mirror;
    • 24 for he observes himself, goes away, and immediately
    forgets what kind of man he was.
    • 25 But he who look into the perfect law of liberty and
    continues in it, and is not a forgetful hearer but a doer of
    the work, this one will be blessed in what he does.
    • 26 If anyone among you thinks he is religious, and does
    not bridle his tongue but deceives his own heart, this
    one’s religion is useless.
    • 27 Pure and undefiled religion before God and the Father
    is this: to visit orphans and widows in their trouble, and to
    keep oneself unspotted from the world.
