| 1 | James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which are of the Dispersion, greeting. | Mt 10:3 Mt 13:55 Mk 3:18 Lk 6:15 Ac 1:13 Ac 12:17 Ac 15:13 Ac 21:18 Ga 1:19 Ga 2:9 Ga 2:12 Jud 1:1 |
| 2 | Count it all joy, my brethren, when ye fall into manifold temptations; | Jm 1:12 Mt 5:10-12 Lk 6:22 Lk 6:23 Ac 5:41 Ro 8:17 Ro 8:18 Ro 8:35-37 2Co 12:9 2Co 12:10 Php 1:29 Php 2:17 Col 1:24 Heb 10:34 1Pe 4:13-16 |
| 3 | Knowing that the proving of your faith worketh patience. | Ro 5:3 Ro 5:4 Ro 8:28 2Co 4:17 |
| 4 | And let patience have [its] perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, lacking in nothing. | Jm 5:7-11 Jb 17:9 Ps 37:7 Ps 40:1 Hab 2:3 Mt 10:22 Lk 8:15 Lk 21:19 Ga 6:9 |
| 5 | But if any of you lacketh wisdom, let him ask of God, who giveth to all liberally and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. | Ex 31:3 Ex 31:6 Ex 36:1-4 1Ki 3:7-9 1Ki 3:11-9 1Ki 3:12-9 Jb 28:12-28 Pr 3:5-7 Pr 9:4-6 Jer 1:6 Jer 1:7 2Co 2:16 |
| 6 | But let him ask in faith, nothing doubting: for he that doubteth is like the surge of the sea driven by the wind and tossed. | Mt 21:22 Mk 11:22-24 1Ti 2:8 Heb 11:6 |
| 7 | For let not that man think that he shall receive anything of the Lord; | Jm 4:3 Pr 15:8 Pr 21:27 Isa 1:15 Isa 58:3 Isa 58:4 |
| 8 | a doubleminded man, unstable in all his ways. | Jm 4:8 1Ki 18:21 2Ki 17:33 2Ki 17:41 Isa 29:13 Hos 7:8-11 Hos 10:2 Mt 6:22 Mt 6:24 2Pe 2:14 2Pe 3:16 |
| 9 | But let the brother of low degree glory in his high estate: | Jm 2:5 Jm 2:6 Dt 15:7 Dt 15:9 Dt 15:11 Ps 62:9 Pr 17:5 Pr 19:1 Lk 1:52 |
| 10 | and the rich, in that he is made low: because as the flower of the grass he shall pass away. | Isa 57:15 Isa 66:2 Mt 5:3 Php 3:8 1Ti 6:17 |
| 11 | For the sun ariseth with the scorching wind, and withereth the grass: and the flower thereof falleth, and the grace of the fashion of it perisheth: so also shall the rich man fade away in his goings. | Isa 49:10 Jon 4:7 Jon 4:8 Mt 13:6 Mk 4:6 |
| 12 | Blessed is the man that endureth temptation; for when he hath been approved, he shall receive the crown of life, which [the Lord] promised to them that love him. | Jm 1:2-4 Jm 5:11 Jb 5:17 Ps 94:12 Ps 119:67 Ps 119:71 Ps 119:75 Pr 3:11 Pr 3:12 Heb 6:15 Heb 10:32 Heb 12:5 Rev 3:19 |
| 13 | Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God; for God cannot be tempted with evil, and he himself tempteth no man: | Jm 1:2 Jm 1:12 Gn 3:12 Isa 63:17 Hab 2:12 Hab 2:13 Ro 9:19 Ro 9:20 |
| 14 | but each man is tempted, when he is drawn away by his own lust, and enticed. | Jm 4:1 Jm 4:2 Gn 6:5 Gn 8:21 Jsh 7:21-24 2Sa 11:2 2Sa 11:3 1Ki 21:2-4 Jb 31:9 Jb 31:27 Pr 4:23 Isa 44:20 Hos 13:9 Mt 5:28 Mt 15:18 Mt 15:20 Mk 7:21 Mk 7:22 Ro 7:11 Ro 7:13 Eph 4:22 Heb 3:13 |
| 15 | Then the lust, when it hath conceived, beareth sin: and the sin, when it is fullgrown, bringeth forth death. | Gn 3:6 Gn 4:5-8 Jb 15:35 Ps 7:14 Isa 59:4 Mic 2:1-3 Mt 26:14 Mt 26:48-59 Ac 5:1-3 |
| 16 | Be not deceived, my beloved brethren. | Mt 22:29 Mk 12:24 Mk 12:27 Ga 6:7 Col 2:4 Col 2:8 2Ti 2:18 |
| 17 | Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom can be no variation, neither shadow that is cast by turning. | Jm 1:5 Jm 3:15 Jm 3:17 Gn 41:16 Gn 41:38 Gn 41:39 Ex 4:11 Ex 4:12 Ex 31:3-6 Ex 36:1 Ex 36:2 Nm 11:17 Nm 11:25 1Ch 22:12 1Ch 29:19 2Ch 1:11 2Ch 1:12 Pr 2:6 Isa 28:26 Dn 2:21 Dn 2:22 Dn 2:27-30 Mt 7:11 Mt 11:25 Mt 11:26 Mt 13:11 Mt 13:12 Lk 11:13 Jn 3:27 Ac 5:31 Ac 11:18 Ro 6:23 Ro 11:30 Ro 12:6-8 1Co 4:7 1Co 12:4-12 Eph 2:3-5 Eph 2:8-5 Eph 4:8-11 Php 1:29 Tit 3:3-5 1Jn 4:10 1Jn 5:11 1Jn 5:12 |
| 18 | Of his own will he brought us forth by the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures. | Jn 1:13 Jn 3:3-5 Ro 4:17 Ro 8:29-31 Ro 9:15-18 Eph 2:4 Eph 2:5 Col 1:20 Col 1:21 2Th 2:13 2Th 2:14 1Pe 1:3 1Pe 1:23 |
| 19 | Ye know [this], my beloved brethren. But let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath: | Ne 8:2 Ne 8:3 Ne 8:12-14 Ne 8:18-14 Ne 9:3 Pr 8:32-35 Ec 5:1 Mk 2:2 Mk 12:37 Lk 15:1 Lk 19:48 Ac 2:42 Ac 10:33 Ac 13:42-44 Ac 13:48-44 Ac 17:11 1Th 2:13 |
| 20 | for the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God. | Jm 3:17 Jm 3:18 Nm 20:11 Nm 20:12 2Ti 2:24 2Ti 2:25 |
| 21 | Wherefore putting away all filthiness and overflowing of wickedness, receive with meekness the implanted word, which is able to save your souls. | Isa 2:20 Isa 30:22 Ezk 18:31 Ro 13:12 Ro 13:13 Eph 4:22 Col 3:5-8 Heb 12:1 1Pe 2:1 1Pe 2:11 |
| 22 | But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deluding your own selves. | Jm 4:17 Mt 7:21-25 Mt 12:50 Mt 28:20 Lk 6:46-48 Lk 11:28 Lk 12:47 Lk 12:48 Jn 13:17 Ro 2:13 Php 4:8 Col 3:17 1Jn 2:3 1Jn 3:7 3Jn 1:11 Rev 22:7 |
| 23 | For if any one is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a mirror: | Jm 2:14-26 Jer 44:16 Ezk 33:31 Ezk 33:32 Mt 7:26 Mt 7:27 Lk 6:47-7 |
| 24 | for he beholdeth himself, and goeth away, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was. | Jg 8:18 Mt 8:27 Lk 1:66 Lk 7:39 1Th 1:5 2Pe 3:11 |
| 25 | But he that looketh into the perfect law, the [law] of liberty, and [so] continueth, being not a hearer that forgetteth but a doer that worketh, this man shall be blessed in his doing. | Pr 14:15 Isa 8:20 2Co 13:5 Heb 12:15 |
| 26 | If any man thinketh himself to be religious, while he bridleth not his tongue but deceiveth his heart, this man`s religion is vain. | Pr 14:12 Pr 16:25 Lk 8:18 1Co 3:18 Ga 2:6 Ga 2:9 Ga 6:3 |
| 27 | Pure religion and undefiled before our God and Father is this, to visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, [and] to keep oneself unspotted from the world. | Jm 3:17 Ps 119:1 Mt 5:8 Lk 1:6 1Ti 1:5 1Ti 5:4 |
