James 1:1-11
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.

雅 各 書 1:1-11
Chinese Union Version (Traditional)
1 作 神 和 主 耶 穌 基 督 僕 人 的 雅 各 請 散 住 十 二 個 支 派 之 人 的 安 。
2 我 的 弟 兄 們 , 你 們 落 在 百 般 試 煉 中 , 都 要 以 為 大 喜 樂 ;
3 因 為 知 道 你 們 的 信 心 經 過 試 驗 , 就 生 忍 耐 。
4 但 忍 耐 也 當 成 功 , 使 你 們 成 全 、 完 備 , 毫 無 缺 欠 。
5 你 們 中 間 若 有 缺 少 智 慧 的 , 應 當 求 那 厚 賜 與 眾 人 、 也 不 斥 責 人 的 神 , 主 就 必 賜 給 他 。
6 只 要 憑 著 信 心 求 , 一 點 不 疑 惑 ; 因 為 那 疑 惑 的 人 , 就 像 海 中 的 波 浪 , 被 風 吹 動 翻 騰 。
7 這 樣 的 人 不 要 想 從 主 那 裡 得 甚 麼 。
8 心 懷 二 意 的 人 , 在 他 一 切 所 行 的 路 上 都 沒 有 定 見 。
9 卑 微 的 弟 兄 升 高 , 就 該 喜 樂 ;
10 富 足 的 降 卑 , 也 該 如 此 ; 因 為 他 必 要 過 去 , 如 同 草 上 的 花 一 樣 。
11 太 陽 出 來 , 熱 風 颳 起 , 草 就 枯 乾 , 花 也 凋 謝 , 美 容 就 消 沒 了 ; 那 富 足 的 人 , 在 他 所 行 的 事 上 也 要 這 樣 衰 殘 。

James 1:1-11
King James Version
1 James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which are scattered abroad, greeting.
2 My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations;
3 Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience.
4 But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.
5 If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.
6 But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed.
7 For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord.
8 A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.
9 Let the brother of low degree rejoice in that he is exalted:
10 But the rich, in that he is made low: because as the flower of the grass he shall pass away.
11 For the sun is no sooner risen with a burning heat, but it 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 ways.
