00:10for his holy word the bible james chapter one
00:17james a servant of god and of the lord jesus christ to the twelve tribes which are scattered abroad greeting
00:24my brethren count it all joy when ye fall into diverse temptations knowing this that the trying of your faith
00:32worketh patience but let patience have her perfect work that ye may be perfect and entire wanting nothing if any
00:41of you lack wisdom let him ask of god that giveth to all men liberally
00:46and a braid if not and it shall be given him but let him ask in faith nothing wavering for
00:52he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed for let not that
00:58man think that he shall receive anything of the lord a double-minded man is unstable in all his ways
01:05let the brother of low degree rejoice in that he is exalted but the rich in that he is made
01:11low because as the flower of the grass he shall pass away
01:16for the sun is no sooner risen with a burning heat but it withereth the grass and the flower thereof
01:22falleth and the grace of the fashion of it perisheth so also shall the rich man fade away in his
01:28ways
01:28blessed is the man that endureth temptation for when he is tried he shall receive the crown of life which
01:35the lord hath promised to them that love him
01:37let no man say when he is tempted i am tempted of god for god cannot be tempted with evil
01:44neither tempteth he any man but every man is tempted when he is drawn away of his own lust and
01:50enticed
01:51then when lust hath conceived it bringeth forth sin and sin when it is finished bringeth forth death do not
01:59err my beloved brethren every good gift and every perfect gift is from above and cometh down from the father
02:06of lights with whom is no variableness neither shadow of turning of his own will begat
02:12he us with the word of truth that we should be a kind of first fruits of his creatures
02:17wherefore my beloved brethren let every man be swift to hear slow to speak slow to wrath for the wrath
02:25of man worketh not the righteousness of god
02:28wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness and receive with meekness the engrafted word which is able to
02:36save your souls but be ye doers of the word and not hearers only deceiving
02:42your own selves for if any be a hearer of the word and not a doer he is like unto
02:47a man beholding his natural face in a glass for he beholdeth himself and goeth his way and straightway forgetteth
02:55what manner of man he was
02:57but whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty and continueth therein he being not a forgiveful hearer but a
03:03doer of the work this man shall be blessed in his deed
03:06if any man among you seem to be religious and bridleth not his tongue but deceiveth his own heart this
03:14man's religion is vain
03:15pure religion and undefiled before god and the father is this to visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction
03:23and to keep himself unspotted from the world
03:32the general epistle of james king james version chapter 2
03:38my brethren have not the faith of our lord jesus christ the lord of glory with respect of persons
03:45for if there come unto your assembly a man with a gold ring and goodly apparel and there come in
03:50also a poor man in vile raiment
03:52and ye have respect to him that weareth the gay clothing and say unto him sit thou here in a
03:58good place and say to the poor stand thou there
04:01or sit here under my footstool are ye not then partial in yourselves and are become judges of evil thoughts
04:09hearken my beloved brethren hath not god chosen the poor of this world rich in faith and heirs of the
04:15kingdom which he hath promised to them that love him
04:17but ye have despised the poor do not rich men oppress you and draw you before the judgment seats
04:24do not they blaspheme that worthy name by the which ye are called
04:27if ye fulfill the royal law according to the scripture thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself ye do well
04:34but if ye have respect of persons ye commit sin and are convinced of the law as transgressors
04:40for whosoever shall keep the whole law and yet offend in one point he is guilty of all
04:47for he that said do not commit adultery said also do not kill
04:53now if thou commit no adultery yet if thou kill thou art become a transgressor of the law
04:59so speak ye and so do as they that shall be judged by the law of liberty
05:04for he shall have judgment without mercy that have showed no mercy and mercy rejoiceth against judgment
05:12what doth it profit my brethren though a man say he have faith and have not works
05:18can faith save him if a brother or sister be naked and destitute of daily food
05:23and one of you say unto them depart in peace be ye warmed and filled
05:29notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the body
05:32what doth it profit even so faith if it hath not works is dead being alone
05:39yea a man may say thou hast faith and i have works
05:44show me thy faith without thy works and i will show thee my faith by my works
05:49thou believest that there is one god thou doest well
05:54the devils also believe and tremble but wilt thou know o vain man
05:59that faith without works is dead
06:01was not abraham our father justified by works when he had offered isaac his son upon the altar
06:08seest thou how faith wrought with his works and by works was faith made perfect
06:13and the scripture was fulfilled which saith abraham believed god
06:18and it was imputed unto him for righteousness and he was called the friend of god
06:22ye see then how that by works a man is justified and not by faith only
06:27likewise also was not rahab the harlot justified by works when she had received the messengers
06:33and had sent them out another way
06:35for as the body without the spirit is dead
06:38so faith without works is dead also

06:50chapter 3
06:52my brethren be not many masters
06:55knowing that we shall receive the greater condemnation
06:58for in many things we offend all
07:00if any man offend not in word
07:03the same is a perfect man
07:04and able also to bridle the whole body
07:07behold we put bits in the horses mouths
07:09that they may obey us
07:11and we turn about their whole body
07:13behold also the ships
07:15which though they be so great
07:17and are driven of fierce winds
07:19yet are they turned about with a very small helm
07:21whithersoever the governor listeth
07:24even so the tongue is a little member
07:26and boast of great things
07:28behold how great a matter a little fire kindleth
07:31and the tongue is a fire
07:33a world of iniquity
07:35so is the tongue among our members
07:37that it defile of the whole body
07:39and setteth on fire the course of nature
07:41and it is set on fire of hell
07:43for every kind of beasts
07:45and of birds
07:46and of serpents
07:48and of things in the sea
07:49is tamed
07:50and hath been tamed of mankind
07:52but the tongue can no man tame
07:54it is an unruly evil
07:56full of deadly poison
07:58therewith bless we God
08:00even the Father
08:01and therewith curse we men
08:03which are made after
08:04the similitude of God
08:06out of the same mouth
08:08proceedeth blessing
08:09and cursing
08:10my brethren
08:12these things ought not so to be
08:14that they fountains send forth
08:16at the same place sweet water
08:18and bitter
08:18can the fig tree my brethren
08:20bear olive berries
08:22either a vine
08:23figs
08:24so can no fountain
08:26both yield salt water and fresh
08:28who is a wise man
08:30and endowed with knowledge among you
08:32let him show out of a good conversation
08:34his works
08:35with meekness of wisdom
08:37but if he have bitter envying
08:38and strife in your hearts
08:40glory not
08:41and lie not against the truth
08:43this wisdom descendeth not from above
08:46but is earthly
08:47sensual
08:48devilish
08:49for where envying and strife is
08:51there is confusion
08:53and every evil work
08:54but the wisdom that is from above
08:56is first pure
08:58then peaceable
08:59gentle
09:00and easy to be entreated
09:02full of mercy and good fruits
09:04without partiality
09:05and without hypocrisy
09:07and the fruit of righteousness
09:09is sown in peace
09:10of them that make peace

09:24come they not hence
09:26even of your lusts

09:29ye lust and have not
09:31ye kill and desire to have
09:33and cannot obtain
09:34ye fight and war
09:36yet ye have not
09:37because ye ask not
09:39ye ask and receive not
09:41because ye ask amiss
09:42that ye may consume it upon your lusts
09:45ye adulterers and adulteresses
09:48know ye not that the friendship of the world
09:50is enmity with God
09:52whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world
09:55is the enemy of God
09:57do ye think that the scripture saith in vain
10:00the spirit that dwelleth in us lusteth to envy
10:03but he giveth more grace
10:05wherefore he saith
10:07God resisteth the proud
10:09but giveth grace unto the humble
10:11submit yourselves therefore to God
10:14resist the devil
10:16and he will flee from you
10:17draw nigh to God
10:19and he will draw nigh to you
10:21cleanse your hands ye sinners
10:23and purify your hearts
10:24ye double-minded

10:27and weep
10:28let your laughter be turned to mourning
10:30and your joy to heaviness

10:35and he shall lift you up
10:36speak not evil one of another
10:39brethren
10:39he that speaketh evil of his brother
10:42and judgeth his brother
10:43speaketh evil of the law
10:45and judgeth the law
10:47but if thou judge the law
10:48thou art not a doer of the law
10:50but a judge
10:52there is one lawgiver
10:53who is able to save and to destroy
10:56who art thou
10:57that judgeth another
10:58go to now
11:00ye that say
11:00today or tomorrow
11:02we will go into such a city
11:03and continue there a year
11:05and buy and sell
11:06and get gain
11:07whereas ye know not
11:08what shall be on the morrow
11:10for what is your life
11:12it is even a vapor
11:13that appeareth for a little time
11:15and then vanisheth away
11:17for that ye ought to say
11:18if the Lord will
11:20we shall live
11:21and do this
11:22or that
11:23but now ye rejoice in your boastings
11:25all such rejoicing is evil
11:28therefore to him that knoweth to do good
11:30and doeth it not
11:31to him it is sin
