Tools

Unchecked Copy BoxJas 1:2 -

Consider it all joy, my brothers and sisters, when you encounter various [fn]trials,

Tools

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Jas 1:6

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Jas 1:7

Unchecked Copy BoxJas 1:7 - For that person ought not to expect that he will receive anything from the Lord,

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Jas 1:8

Unchecked Copy BoxJas 1:8 - being a [fn]double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Jas 1:9

Unchecked Copy BoxJas 1:9 -

Now the brother or sister of humble circumstances is to glory in his high position;

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Jas 1:10

Unchecked Copy BoxJas 1:10 - but the rich person is to glory in his [fn]humiliation, because like [fn]flowering grass he will pass away.

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Jas 1:11

Unchecked Copy BoxJas 1:11 - For the sun rises with its scorching heat and withers the grass; and its flower falls off and the beauty of its appearance is destroyed; so also the rich person, in the midst of his pursuits, will die out.

Unchecked Copy BoxJas 1:12 -

Blessed is a man who perseveres under trial; for once he has [fn]been approved, he will receive the crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love Him.

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Jas 1:13

Unchecked Copy BoxJas 1:13 - No one is to say when he is tempted, “I am being tempted [fn]by God”; for God cannot be tempted [fn]by evil, and He Himself does not tempt anyone.

Tools

Unchecked Copy BoxJas 1:14 - But each one is tempted when he is carried away and enticed by his own lust.

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Jas 1:17

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Jas 1:18

Unchecked Copy BoxJas 1:18 - In the exercise of His will He gave us birth by the word of truth, so that we would be [fn]a kind of first fruits [fn]among His creatures.

[fn]You know this, my beloved brothers and sisters. Now everyone must be quick to hear, slow to speak, and slow to anger;

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Jas 1:20

Unchecked Copy BoxJas 1:20 - for a man’s anger does not bring about the righteousness of God.

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Jas 1:21

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Jas 1:23

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Jas 1:24

Unchecked Copy BoxJas 1:24 - for once he has looked at himself and gone away, [fn]he has immediately forgotten what kind of person he was.

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Jas 1:25

Unchecked Copy BoxJas 1:25 - But one who has looked intently at the perfect law, the law of freedom, and has continued in it, not having become a forgetful hearer but [fn]an active doer, this person will be blessed in [fn]what he does.

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Jas 1:26

Unchecked Copy BoxJas 1:26 -

If anyone thinks himself to be religious, yet does not [fn]bridle his tongue but deceives his own heart, this person’s religion is worthless.

Tools

Unchecked Copy BoxJas 1:27 - 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 [fn]by the world.
