야고보서 1장 NASB
- 1 James a bond-servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ To the twelve tribes who are dispersed abroad: Greetings.
- 2 Consider it all joy my brethren when you encounter various trials
- 3 knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance.
- 4 And let endurance have its perfect result so that you may be perfect and complete lacking in nothing.
- 5 But if any of you lacks wisdom let him ask of God who gives to all generously and without reproach and it will be given to him.
- 6 But he must ask in faith without any doubting for the one who doubts is like the surf of the sea driven and tossed by the wind.
- 7 For that man ought not to expect that he will receive anything from the Lord
- 8 being a double-minded man unstable in all his ways.
- 9 But the brother of humble circumstances is to glory in his high position;
- 10 and the rich man is to glory in his humiliation because like flowering grass he will pass away.
- 11 For the sun rises with a scorching wind and withers the grass; and its flower falls off and the beauty of its appearance is destroyed; so too the rich man in the midst of his pursuits will fade away.
- 12 Blessed is a man who perseveres under trial; for once he has been approved he will receive the crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love Him.
- 13 Let no one say when he is tempted "I am being tempted by God"; for God cannot be tempted by evil and He Himself does not tempt anyone.
- 14 But each one is tempted when he is carried away and enticed by his own lust.
- 15 Then when lust has conceived it gives birth to sin; and when sin is accomplished it brings forth death.
- 16 Do not be deceived my beloved brethren.
- 17 Every good thing given and every perfect gift is from above coming down from the Father of lights with whom there is no variation or shifting shadow.
- 18 In the exercise of His will He brought us forth by the word of truth so that we would be a kind of first fruits among His creatures.
- 19 This you know my beloved brethren. But everyone must be quick to hear slow to speak and slow to anger;
- 20 for the anger of man does not achieve the righteousness of God.
- 21 Therefore putting aside all filthiness and all that remains of wickedness in humility receive the word implanted which is able to save your souls.
- 22 But prove yourselves doers of the word and not merely hearers who delude themselves.
- 23 For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer he is like a man who looks at his natural face in a mirror;
- 24 for once he has looked at himself and gone away he has immediately forgotten what kind of person he was.
- 25 But one who looks intently at the perfect law the law of liberty and abides by it not having become a forgetful hearer but an effectual doer this man will be blessed in what he does.
- 26 If anyone thinks himself to be religious and yet does not bridle his tongue but deceives his own heart this man's religion is worthless.
- 27 Pure and undefiled religion in the sight of our God and Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself unstained by the world.
