Ang Biblia, 2001
Pagbati
1 Si(A) Santiago, na alipin ng Diyos at ng Panginoong Jesu-Cristo, ay bumabati sa labindalawang lipi na nasa Pangangalat.
Pananampalataya at Karunungan
2 Mga kapatid ko, ituring ninyong buong kagalakan kapag kayo'y nahaharap sa sari-saring pagsubok,
3 yamang inyong nalalaman na ang pagsubok sa inyong pananampalataya ay nagbubunga ng pagtitiis.
4 At inyong hayaan na malubos ng pagtitiis ang gawa nito, upang kayo'y maging sakdal at ganap, na walang anumang kakulangan.
5 Ngunit kung ang sinuman sa inyo ay nagkukulang ng karunungan, humingi siya sa Diyos na nagbibigay nang sagana sa lahat at hindi nanunumbat, at iyon ay ibibigay sa kanya.
6 Ngunit humingi siyang may pananampalataya na walang pag-aalinlangan, sapagkat ang nag-aalinlangan ay katulad ng alon sa dagat na hinihipan at ipinapadpad ng hangin.
7 Sapagkat ang taong iyon ay hindi dapat mag-akala na siya'y tatanggap ng anumang bagay mula sa Panginoon.
8 Siya ay isang taong nagdadalawang isip, di-matatag sa lahat ng kanyang mga lakad.
Kahirapan at Kayamanan
9 Ngunit ang kapatid na hamak ay hayaang magmalaki sa kanyang pagkakataas,
10 at(B) ang mayaman sa kanyang pagkaaba, sapagkat siya'y lilipas na gaya ng bulaklak sa parang.
11 Sapagkat ang araw ay sumisikat na may nakakapasong init at tinutuyo ang damo at nilalagas ang bulaklak nito, at nawawala ang kagandahan nito. Gayundin ang taong mayaman ay malalanta sa gitna ng kanyang abalang pamumuhay.
Tukso at Pagsubok
12 Mapalad ang taong nagtitiis ng pagsubok, sapagkat kapag siya ay subok na, siya'y tatanggap ng putong ng buhay, na ipinangako ng Panginoon[a] sa mga nagmamahal sa kanya.
13 Huwag sabihin ng sinuman kapag siya'y tinutukso, “Ako'y tinutukso ng Diyos,” sapagkat ang Diyos ay hindi natutukso ng masasama, at hindi rin siya nanunukso sa sinuman.
14 Ngunit ang bawat tao ay natutukso ng sarili niyang pagnanasa, kapag siya ay nahila at naakit nito;
15 at kapag ang pagnanasang iyon ay naipaglihi, ito ay nanganganak ng kasalanan, at ang kasalanan kapag malaki na ay nagbubunga ng kamatayan.
16 Huwag kayong padaya, mga minamahal kong kapatid.
17 Ang bawat mabuting kaloob at ang bawat sakdal na kaloob ay pawang buhat sa itaas, na nanggagaling sa Ama ng mga ilaw, na sa kanya ay walang pag-iiba, o anino man ng pagbabago.
18 Alinsunod sa kanyang sariling kalooban, tayo ay ipinanganak niya sa pamamagitan ng salita ng katotohanan, upang tayo'y maging isang uri ng mga unang bunga sa kanyang mga nilalang.
Pakikinig at Pagtupad
19 Unawain ninyo ito, minamahal kong mga kapatid: ang bawat tao ay dapat na maging mabilis sa pakikinig, marahan sa pagsasalita, mabagal sa pagkagalit;
20 sapagkat ang galit ng tao ay hindi gumagawa ng katuwiran ng Diyos.
21 Kaya't alisin ninyo ang lahat ng karumihan at ang nalalabing kasamaan, at tanggapin ninyo na may kaamuan ang salitang itinanim, na may kapangyarihang magligtas ng inyong mga kaluluwa.
22 Ngunit maging tagatupad kayo ng salita, at hindi tagapakinig lamang, na dinadaya ninyo ang inyong mga sarili.
23 Sapagkat kung ang sinuman ay tagapakinig ng salita at hindi tagatupad, siya ay katulad ng isang tao na tinitingnan ang kanyang likas na mukha sa salamin;
24 sapagkat minamasdan niya ang kanyang sarili at umaalis, at agad niyang nalilimutan kung ano ang kanyang katulad.
25 Ngunit ang tumitingin sa sakdal na kautusan, ang kautusan ng kalayaan, at nananatili na hindi tagapakinig na malilimutin, kundi tagatupad na gumagawa, siya ay pagpapalain sa kanyang gawain.
26 Kung inaakala ng sinuman na siya'y relihiyoso, subalit hindi pinipigil ang kanyang dila, kundi dinadaya ang kanyang puso, ang relihiyon ng taong iyon ay walang kabuluhan.
27 Ang dalisay na relihiyon at walang dungis sa harapan ng ating Diyos at Ama ay ito: ang dalawin ang mga ulila at ang mga balo sa kanilang kahirapan, at panatilihin ang sarili na hindi nadungisan ng sanlibutan.

James 1
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.
12 Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him.
13 Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man:
14 But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed.
15 Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.
16 Do not err, my beloved brethren.
17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.
18 Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures.
19 Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath:
20 For the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God.
21 Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls.
22 But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.
23 For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass:
24 For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was.
25 But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.
26 If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man's religion is vain.
27 Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.

The challenge of faith
1 James, a slave of God and of the Lord Jesus the Messiah, to the twelve dispersed tribes: greeting.
2 My dear family, when you find yourselves tumbling into various trials and tribulations, learn to look at it with total joy, 3 because you know that, when your faith is put to the test, what comes out is patience. 4 What’s more, you must let patience have its complete effect, so that you may be complete and whole, not falling short in anything.
5 If any one of you falls short in wisdom, they should ask God for it, and it will be given them. God, after all, gives generously and ungrudgingly to all people. 6 But they should ask in faith, with no doubts. A person who doubts is like a wave of the sea which the wind blows and tosses about. 7 Someone like that should not suppose they will receive anything from the Lord, 8 since they are double-minded and unstable in everything they do.
The snares of the world and the gift of God
9 Brothers and sisters who find themselves impoverished should celebrate the fact that they have risen to this height— 10 and those who are rich, that they are brought down low, since the rich will disappear like a wildflower. 11 You see, the rich will be like the grass: when the sun rises with its scorching heat, it withers the grass so that its flower droops and all its fine appearance comes to nothing. That’s what it will be like when the rich wither away in the midst of their busy lives.
12 God’s blessing on the man who endures testing! When he has passed the test, he will receive the crown of life, which God has promised to those who love him. 13 Nobody being tested should say, “It’s God that’s testing me,” for God cannot be tested by evil, and he himself tests nobody. 14 Rather, each person is tested when they are dragged off and enticed by their own desires. 15 Then desire, when it has conceived, gives birth to sin; and when sin reaches maturity it gives birth to death.
16 Don’t be deceived, my dear family. 17 Every good gift, every perfect gift, comes down from above, from the father of lights. His steady light doesn’t vary. It doesn’t change and produce shadows. 18 He became our father by the word of truth; that was his firm decision, and the result is that we are a kind of first fruits of his creatures.
The word that goes to work
19 So, my dear brothers and sisters, get this straight. Every person should be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger. 20 Human anger, you see, doesn’t produce God’s justice! 21 So put away everything that is sordid, all overflowing malice, and humbly receive the word which has been planted within you and which has the power to rescue your lives.
22 But be people who do the word, not merely people who hear it and deceive themselves. 23 Someone who hears the word but doesn’t do it, you see, is like a man who looks at his natural face in a mirror. 24 He notices himself, but then he goes away and quickly forgets what he looked like. 25 But the person who looks into the perfect law of freedom, and goes on with it, not being a hearer who forgets but a doer who does the deed—such a person is blessed in their doing.
26 If anyone supposes that they are devout, and does not control their tongue, but rather deceives their heart—such a person’s devotion is futile. 27 As far as God the father is concerned, pure, unsullied devotion works like this: you should visit orphans and widows in their sorrow, and prevent the world leaving its dirty smudge on you.
James 1
New International Version
James 1

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)
