The Testing of Your Faith

1 ^[a](A)James, a ^(B)bond-servant of God and ^(C)of the Lord Jesus Christ,

To ^(D)the twelve tribes who are ^[b](E)dispersed abroad: ^(F)Greetings.

¹⁰ If anyone comes to you and does not bring this teaching, ^(A)do not receive him into your house, and do not ^[a]give him a greeting; ¹¹ for the one who ^[b]gives him a greeting ^[c](B)participates in his evil deeds.

^12 (C)Though I have many things to write to you, I do not want to do so with paper and ink; but I hope to come to you and speak ^[d]face to face, so that ^[e]your ^(D)joy may be made complete.

¹³ The children of your ^(E)chosen sister greet you.
