雅各书 1
Chinese Standard Bible (Simplified)

问安

1 神和主耶稣基督的奴仆雅各，

问候散居在各地的十二个支派。

经试炼而完备

2 我的弟兄们，你们遇到各种试炼的时候，应当看做是极大的喜乐， 3 因为你们知道，你们的信仰经过考验就生出忍耐； 4 但要让忍耐发挥完全的功效，好使你们成熟、完备，在任何事上都没有缺欠。

5 如果你们中间有人缺乏智慧，他就应当向那慷慨赐予万人又不责骂人的神祈求；神就会赐予他。 6 不过他要凭着信仰祈求，不要有任何疑惑，因为疑惑的人就像海中的波浪，被风吹动翻腾。 7 这样的人不要想从主那里得到什么， 8 他是心怀二意的人，在他所有的道路上都摇摆不定。

9 卑微[a]的弟兄应当以自己被高举而夸耀； 10 富有的应当以自己被降卑而夸耀，因为他将要像草上的花那样消逝。 11 太阳带着热气升起，草地枯萎，草上的花也凋谢，它表面的美丽也就消逝了；照样，富有的人在他的追求中，也将衰残。

12 忍受试炼的人是蒙福的；因为他经过考验以后，就要得到生命的冠冕，就是主[b]应许给那些爱他之人的。

13 人受诱惑的时候，不可说：“我被神诱惑”，因为神是不能被邪恶诱惑的，神也不诱惑任何人。 14 而每个人受诱惑，都是被自己的欲望所牵扯、所引诱的； 15 一旦欲望怀了胎，就生下罪来；罪长成了，就生出死亡。

16 我亲爱的弟兄们，你们不要被迷惑了！ 17 一切美好的赏赐和各样完美的恩赐，都是从上面、从众光之父降下来的；在他没有改变，也没有转动的影子。 18 他照着自己的旨意，藉着真理的话语生了我们，要使我们在他所造的万物中成为一种初熟的果子。

行道胜于听道

19 我亲爱的弟兄们，你们应当知道：[c]每个人都该快快地听，不急于发言、不急于动怒， 20 因为人的愤怒不能成就神的义。 21 因此，你们要脱去一切的污秽和满盈的恶毒，要以温柔的心接受那栽种在你们里面的话语，就是能拯救你们灵魂[d]的话语。

22 你们要成为这话语的实行者，不要只成为听者而欺骗自己。 23 因为，如果有人是这话语的听者，而不是实行者，这个人就像人对着镜子观看自己生来的面貌， 24 看了就走开，立刻忘了自己是什么样子； 25 但是详细察看那使人得自由的完美律法，并且继续持守的人，因他不是健忘的听者，而是行为的实行者，这个人就将要在他所行的事上蒙祝福。

26 如果[e]有人自以为是虔诚的，却不克制自己的舌头，反而欺骗自己的心，这个人的虔诚[f]就是虚妄的。 27 在父神看来，纯洁而没有玷污的虔诚[g]是这样的：照顾患难中的孤儿寡妇，并且保守自己不受世界的玷污。

James 1
New American Bible (Revised Edition)

I. Address

Chapter 1

1 [a]James, a slave of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes in the dispersion, greetings.(A)

II. The Value of Trials and Temptation

Perseverance in Trial. 2 (B)Consider it all joy, my brothers, when you encounter various trials,[b] 3 for you know that the testing[c] of your faith produces perseverance. 4 And let perseverance be perfect, so that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing. 5 But if any of you lacks wisdom,[d] he should ask God who gives to all generously and ungrudgingly, and he will be given it.(C) 6 But he should ask in faith, not doubting, for the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea that is driven and tossed about by the wind.(D) 7 For that person must not suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord, 8 since he is a man of two minds, unstable in all his ways.

9 The brother in lowly circumstances[e] should take pride in his high standing,(E) 10 and the rich one in his lowliness, for he will pass away “like the flower of the field.”(F) 11 For the sun comes up with its scorching heat and dries up the grass, its flower droops, and the beauty of its appearance vanishes. So will the rich person fade away in the midst of his pursuits.

Temptation. 12 (G)Blessed is the man who perseveres in temptation,[f] for when he has been proved he will receive the crown of life that he promised to those who love him. 13 [g]No one experiencing temptation should say, “I am being tempted by God”; for God is not subject to temptation to evil, and he himself tempts no one.(H) 14 Rather, each person is tempted when he is lured and enticed by his own desire. 15 Then desire conceives and brings forth sin, and when sin reaches maturity it gives birth to death.

16 [h]Do not be deceived, my beloved brothers: 17 all good giving and every perfect gift[i] is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no alteration or shadow caused by change. 18 (I)He willed to give us birth by the word of truth that we may be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures.[j]

III. Exhortations and Warnings

Doers of the Word. 19 Know this, my dear brothers: everyone should be quick to hear,[k] slow to speak, slow to wrath,(J) 20 for the wrath of a man does not accomplish the righteousness of God.(K) 21 Therefore, put away all filth and evil excess and humbly welcome the word that has been planted in you and is able to save your souls.(L)

22 Be doers of the word and not hearers only, deluding yourselves.(M) 23 For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man who looks at his own face in a mirror. 24 He sees himself, then goes off and promptly forgets what he looked like. 25 But the one who peers into the perfect law[l] of freedom and perseveres, and is not a hearer who forgets but a doer who acts, such a one shall be blessed in what he does.(N)

26 [m]If anyone thinks he is religious and does not bridle his tongue[n] but deceives his heart, his religion is vain.(O) 27 Religion that is pure and undefiled before God and the Father is this: to care for orphans and widows[o] in their affliction and to keep oneself unstained by the world.(P)

Footnotes

  1. 1:1 James, a slave of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ: a declaration of the writer’s authority for instructing the Christian communities; cf. Rom 1:1. Regarding the identity of the author, see Introduction. Dispersion: see Introduction.
  2. 1:2 Consider it all joy…various trials: a frequent teaching of the New Testament derived from the words and sufferings of Jesus (Mt 5:10–12; Jn 10:11; Acts 5:41).
  3. 1:3–8 The sequence of testing, perseverance, and being perfect and complete indicates the manner of attaining spiritual maturity and full preparedness for the coming of Christ (Jas 5:7–12; cf. 1 Pt 1:6–7; Rom 5:3–5). These steps require wisdom (Jas 1:5).
  4. 1:5 Wisdom: a gift that God readily grants to all who ask in faith and that sustains the Christian in times of trial. It is a kind of knowledge or understanding not accessible to the unbeliever or those who doubt, which gives the recipient an understanding of the real importance of events. In this way a Christian can deal with adversity with great calm and hope (cf. 1 Cor 2:6–12).
  5. 1:9–11 Throughout his letter (see Jas 2:5; 4:10, 13–16; 5:1–6), the author reaffirms the teaching of Jesus that worldly prosperity is not necessarily a sign of God’s favor but can even be a hindrance to proper humility before God (cf. Lk 6:20–25; 12:16–21; 16:19–31).
  6. 1:12 Temptation: the Greek word used here is the same one used for “trials” in Jas 1:2. The crown of life: in ancient Palestine, crowns or wreaths of flowers were worn at festive occasions as signs of joy and honor. In the Hellenistic world, wreaths were given as a reward to great statesmen, soldiers, athletes. Life: here means eternal life. He promised: some manuscripts read “God” or “the Lord,” while the best witnesses do not specify the subject of “promised.”
  7. 1:13–15 It is contrary to what we know of God for God to be the author of human temptation (Jas 1:13). In the commission of a sinful act, one is first beguiled by passion (Jas 1:14), then consent is given, which in turn causes the sinful act. When sin permeates the entire person, it incurs the ultimate penalty of death (Jas 1:15).
  8. 1:16–18 The author here stresses that God is the source of all good and of good alone, and the evil of temptation does not come from him.
  9. 1:17 All good giving and every perfect gift may be a proverb written in hexameter. Father of lights: God is here called the Father of the heavenly luminaries, i.e., the stars, sun, and moon that he created (Gn 1:14–18). Unlike orbs moving from nadir to zenith, he never changes or diminishes in brightness.
  10. 1:18 Acceptance of the gospel message, the word of truth, constitutes new birth (Jn 3:5–6) and makes the recipient the firstfruits (i.e., the cultic offering of the earliest grains, symbolizing the beginning of an abundant harvest) of a new creation; cf. 1 Cor 15:20; Rom 8:23.
  11. 1:19–25 To be quick to hear the gospel is to accept it readily and to act in conformity with it, removing from one’s soul whatever is opposed to it, so that it may take root and effect salvation (Jas 1:19–21). To listen to the gospel message but not practice it is failure to improve oneself (Jas 1:22–24). Only conformity of life to the perfect law of true freedom brings happiness (Jas 1:25).
  12. 1:25 Peers into the perfect law: the image of a person doing this is paralleled to that of hearing God’s word. The perfect law applies the Old Testament description of the Mosaic law to the gospel of Jesus Christ that brings freedom.
  13. 1:26–27 A practical application of Jas 1:22 is now made.
  14. 1:26 For control of the tongue, see note on Jas 3:1–12.
  15. 1:27 In the Old Testament, orphans and widows are classical examples of the defenseless and oppressed.

Tiago 1
Almeida Revista e Corrigida 2009

Prefácio e saudação

1 Tiago, servo de Deus e do Senhor Jesus Cristo, às doze tribos que andam dispersas: saúde.

Acerca de provas e tentações

2 Meus irmãos, tende grande gozo quando cairdes em várias tentações, 3 sabendo que a prova da vossa fé produz a paciência. 4 Tenha, porém, a paciência a sua obra perfeita, para que sejais perfeitos e completos, sem faltar em coisa alguma.

5 E, se algum de vós tem falta de sabedoria, peça-a a Deus, que a todos dá liberalmente e não o lança em rosto; e ser-lhe-á dada. 6 Peça-a, porém, com fé, não duvidando; porque o que duvida é semelhante à onda do mar, que é levada pelo vento e lançada de uma para outra parte. 7 Não pense tal homem que receberá do Senhor alguma coisa. 8 O homem de coração dobre é inconstante em todos os seus caminhos.

9 Mas glorie-se o irmão abatido na sua exaltação, 10 e o rico, em seu abatimento, porque ele passará como a flor da erva. 11 Porque sai o sol com ardor, e a erva seca, e a sua flor cai, e a formosa aparência do seu aspecto perece; assim se murchará também o rico em seus caminhos.

12 Bem-aventurado o varão que sofre a tentação; porque, quando for provado, receberá a coroa da vida, a qual o Senhor tem prometido aos que o amam. 13 Ninguém, sendo tentado, diga: De Deus sou tentado; porque Deus não pode ser tentado pelo mal e a ninguém tenta. 14 Mas cada um é tentado, quando atraído e engodado pela sua própria concupiscência. 15 Depois, havendo a concupiscência concebido, dá à luz o pecado; e o pecado, sendo consumado, gera a morte.

16 Não erreis, meus amados irmãos. 17 Toda boa dádiva e todo dom perfeito vêm do alto, descendo do Pai das luzes, em quem não há mudança, nem sombra de variação. 18 Segundo a sua vontade, ele nos gerou pela palavra da verdade, para que fôssemos como primícias das suas criaturas.

Sobre a prática da palavra de Deus

19 Sabeis isto, meus amados irmãos; mas todo o homem seja pronto para ouvir, tardio para falar, tardio para se irar. 20 Porque a ira do homem não opera a justiça de Deus. 21 Pelo que, rejeitando toda imundícia e acúmulo de malícia, recebei com mansidão a palavra em vós enxertada, a qual pode salvar a vossa alma. 22 E sede cumpridores da palavra e não somente ouvintes, enganando-vos com falsos discursos. 23 Porque, se alguém é ouvinte da palavra e não cumpridor, é semelhante ao varão que contempla ao espelho o seu rosto natural; 24 porque se contempla a si mesmo, e foi-se, e logo se esqueceu de como era. 25 Aquele, porém, que atenta bem para a lei perfeita da liberdade e nisso persevera, não sendo ouvinte esquecido, mas fazedor da obra, este tal será bem-aventurado no seu feito.

26 Se alguém entre vós cuida ser religioso e não refreia a sua língua, antes, engana o seu coração, a religião desse é vã. 27 A religião pura e imaculada para com Deus, o Pai, é esta: visitar os órfãos e as viúvas nas suas tribulações e guardar-se da corrupção do mundo.
