Яков 1
Библия, ревизирано издание
Изпитание на вярата
1 (A)Яков, слуга на Бога и на Господ Исус Христос, до дванадесетте пръснати племена: Поздрав!
2 (B)Смятайте го за голяма радост, братя мои, когато попадате в разни изпитания[a],
3 (C)като знаете, че изпитанието на вашата вяра поражда търпение.
4 А твърдостта нека извърши делото си съвършено, за да бъдете съвършени и цялостни, без никакъв недостатък.
5 (D)Но ако на някого от вас не достига мъдрост, нека иска от Бога, Който дава на всички щедро, без да укорява, и ще му бъде дадена.
6 (E)Но да проси с вяра, без да се съмнява ни най-малко; защото който се съмнява, прилича на морски вълни, които се тласкат и блъскат от ветровете.
7 Такъв човек да не мисли, че ще получи нещо от Господа,
8 понеже е колеблив, непостоянен във всичките си пътища.
9 Братът, който е в по-долно състояние, нека се хвали, когато се издига,
10 (F)а богатият – когато се смирява, понеже ще прецъфти като цвета на тревата.
11 Защото слънцето изгрява с изсушителния вятър, тревата изсъхва, цветът ѝ окапва и красотата на нейния изглед изчезва; така и богатият ще повехне в пътищата си.
Причината за изкушението
12 (G)Блажен онзи човек, който устоява на изкушение; защото като бъде одобрен, ще приеме за корона живота, който Господ е обещал на онези, които Го обичат.
13 (H)Никой, който бива изкушаван, да не казва: Бог ме изкушава, защото Бог не се изкушава от зло и Той никого не изкушава.
14 А всеки се изкушава, като се завлича и подлъгва от собствената си страст;
15 (I)и тогава страстта зачева и ражда грях, а грехът, като се развие напълно, ражда смърт.
16 Не се заблуждавайте, любезни мои братя!
17 (J)Всяко дадено добро и всеки съвършен дар е отгоре и слиза от Отца на светлините, у Когото няма изменение или сянка от промяна.
18 (K)От собствената Си воля ни е родил чрез словото на истината, за да бъдем един вид пръв плод на Неговите създания.
Слушатели и последователи на учението
19 (L)Вие знаете това, възлюбени мои братя. Обаче нека всеки човек бъде бърз да слуша, бавен да говори и бавен да се гневи;
20 защото човешкият гняв не върши Божията правда.
21 Затова, като отхвърлите всяка нечистота и преливаща се злоба, приемайте с кротост всаденото слово, което може да спаси душите ви.
22 (M)Бъдете и изпълнители на словото, а не само слушатели, да лъжете себе си.
23 (N)Защото ако някой бъде слушател на словото, а не изпълнител, той прилича на човек, който гледа естественото си лице в огледалото;
24 понеже се оглежда, отива си и веднага забравя какъв е бил.
25 (O)Но който вникне в съвършения закон на свободата и постоянства, като не е слушател, който забравя, а деен изпълнител, ще бъде блажен в дейността си.
26 (P)Ако някой смята себе си за благочестив, а не обуздава езика си, но мами сърцето си, неговото благочестие е суетно.
27 (Q)Чисто и непорочно благочестие пред Бога и Отца е това: да се грижи човек за сирачетата и вдовиците в неволята им и да пази себе си неопетнен от света.

Santiago 1
Nueva Biblia Viva
1 Santiago, siervo de Dios y del Señor Jesucristo, saluda a las doce tribus que se hallan dispersas por todo el mundo.
Pruebas y tentaciones
2 Hermanos míos, que les dé gran alegría cuando pasen por diferentes pruebas, 3 pues ya saben que cuando su fe sea puesta a prueba, producirá en ustedes firmeza. 4 Y cuando se desarrolle completamente la firmeza, serán perfectos y maduros, sin que les falte nada.
5 Si a alguno de ustedes le falta sabiduría, pídasela a Dios. Él se la dará, porque Dios da a todos en abundancia sin hacer ningún reproche. 6 Pero debe pedirla con fe, sin dudar, ya que el que duda es como las olas del mar que el viento agita y lleva de un lado a otro. 7 El que es así, no piense que va a recibir alguna cosa del Señor, 8 porque no es capaz de tomar decisiones ni es constante en lo que hace.
9 El hermano de condición humilde debe sentirse orgulloso de lo mucho que vale; 10 y el rico, de su humilde condición. El rico se marchitará como la flor del campo. 11 Cuando el sol sale, seca la planta con su calor intenso. A la planta se le marchita la flor y pierde su belleza. Así se marchitará también el rico en todos sus negocios.
12 Dichoso el que permanece firme durante la prueba, porque cuando la supera, recibe la corona de la vida que Dios ha prometido a los que lo aman. 13 Nadie debe decir, cuando es tentado, que es Dios el que lo tienta. Porque Dios no puede ser tentado por el mal, ni él tampoco tienta a nadie.
14 Al contrario, cada uno es tentado por sus propios malos deseos que lo arrastran y seducen. 15 Los malos deseos dan a luz el pecado. Después, cuando el pecado se desarrolla completamente, da a luz la muerte.
16 Mis queridos hermanos, no se engañen. 17 De lo alto nos viene todo lo bueno y perfecto. Allí es donde está el Padre que creó todos los astros del cielo, y que no cambia como las sombras. 18 Él quiso darnos vida por medio de la palabra de verdad, para que fuéramos los primeros frutos de su creación.
Hay que poner en práctica la palabra
19 Mis queridos hermanos, pongan atención: Todos ustedes deben estar listos para escuchar, pero deben ser lentos para hablar y para enojarse. 20 Porque el enojo no deja a la gente vivir con justicia como Dios quiere. 21 Por eso, despójense de toda suciedad y de la maldad que tanto abunda. De esa manera podrán recibir con humildad la palabra sembrada en ustedes. Esta palabra tiene poder para salvarles la vida.
22 Pongan en práctica la palabra y no se limiten a sólo escucharla pues de otra manera se engañan ustedes mismos. 23 El que escucha la palabra pero no la pone en práctica es como el que mira su cara en un espejo 24 y, en cuanto se va, se olvida de cómo era. 25 Pero el que pone su atención en la ley perfecta que da libertad, y sigue en ella sin olvidar lo que ha oído y hace lo que ella dice, será dichoso en lo que hace.
26 Si alguien se cree religioso pero no controla su lengua, se engaña a sí mismo, y su religión no sirve para nada.
27 La religión pura y sin mancha que a Dios le agrada es esta: ayudar a los huérfanos y a las viudas en sus problemas, y estar siempre limpio sin mancharse con la maldad del mundo.
James 1
New International Version
1 James,(A) a servant of God(B) and of the Lord Jesus Christ,
To the twelve tribes(C) scattered(D) among the nations:
Greetings.(E)
Trials and Temptations
2 Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters,[a] whenever you face trials of many kinds,(F) 3 because you know that the testing of your faith(G) produces perseverance.(H) 4 Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature(I) and complete, not lacking anything. 5 If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God,(J) who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you.(K) 6 But when you ask, you must believe and not doubt,(L) because the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind. 7 That person should not expect to receive anything from the Lord. 8 Such a person is double-minded(M) and unstable(N) in all they do.
9 Believers in humble circumstances ought to take pride in their high position.(O) 10 But the rich should take pride in their humiliation—since they will pass away like a wild flower.(P) 11 For the sun rises with scorching heat(Q) and withers(R) the plant; its blossom falls and its beauty is destroyed.(S) In the same way, the rich will fade away even while they go about their business.
12 Blessed is the one who perseveres under trial(T) because, having stood the test, that person will receive the crown of life(U) that the Lord has promised to those who love him.(V)
13 When tempted, no one should say, “God is tempting me.” For God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does he tempt anyone; 14 but each person is tempted when they are dragged away by their own(W) evil desire and enticed. 15 Then, after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin;(X) and sin, when it is full-grown, gives birth to death.(Y)
16 Don’t be deceived,(Z) my dear brothers and sisters.(AA) 17 Every good and perfect gift is from above,(AB) coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights,(AC) who does not change(AD) like shifting shadows. 18 He chose to give us birth(AE) through the word of truth,(AF) that we might be a kind of firstfruits(AG) of all he created.
Listening and Doing
19 My dear brothers and sisters,(AH) take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak(AI) and slow to become angry, 20 because human anger(AJ) does not produce the righteousness that God desires. 21 Therefore, get rid of(AK) all moral filth and the evil that is so prevalent and humbly accept the word planted in you,(AL) which can save you.
22 Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says.(AM) 23 Anyone who listens to the word but does not do what it says is like someone who looks at his face in a mirror 24 and, after looking at himself, goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like. 25 But whoever looks intently into the perfect law that gives freedom,(AN) and continues in it—not forgetting what they have heard, but doing it—they will be blessed in what they do.(AO)
26 Those who consider themselves religious and yet do not keep a tight rein on their tongues(AP) deceive themselves, and their religion is worthless. 27 Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after(AQ) orphans and widows(AR) in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.(AS)

James 1
New King James Version
Greeting to the Twelve Tribes
1 James, (A)a bondservant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ,
To the twelve tribes which are scattered abroad:
Greetings.
Profiting from Trials
2 My brethren, (B)count it all joy (C)when you fall into various trials, 3 (D)knowing that the testing of your faith produces [a]patience. 4 But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be [b]perfect and complete, lacking nothing. 5 (E)If any of you lacks wisdom, (F)let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and (G)it will be given to him. 6 (H)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 (I)a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.
The Perspective of Rich and Poor
9 Let the lowly brother glory in his exaltation, 10 but the rich in his humiliation, because (J)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.
Loving God Under Trials
12 (K)Blessed is the man who endures temptation; for when he has been approved, he will receive (L)the crown of life (M)which the Lord has promised to those who love 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, (N)when desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, (O)brings forth death.
16 Do not be deceived, my beloved brethren. 17 (P)Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, (Q)with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning. 18 (R)Of His own will He brought us forth by the (S)word of truth, (T)that we might be a kind of firstfruits of His creatures.
Qualities Needed in Trials
19 [c]So then, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, (U)slow to speak, (V)slow to wrath; 20 for the wrath of man does not produce the righteousness of God.
Doers—Not Hearers Only
21 Therefore (W)lay aside all filthiness and [d]overflow of wickedness, and receive with meekness the implanted word, (X)which is able to save your souls.
22 But (Y)be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves. 23 For (Z)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 (AA)he who looks into the perfect law of liberty and continues in it, and is not a forgetful hearer but a doer of the work, (AB)this one will be blessed in what he does.
26 If anyone [e]among you thinks he is religious, and (AC)does not bridle his tongue but deceives his own heart, this one’s religion is useless. 27 (AD)Pure and undefiled religion before God and the Father is this: (AE)to visit orphans and widows in their trouble, (AF)and to keep oneself unspotted from the world.
