雅各书 1
Chinese New Version (Traditional)
以試煉為喜樂
1 神和主耶穌基督的僕人雅各，向散居各地的十二支派問安。 2 我的弟兄們，你們遭遇各種試煉的時候，都要看為喜樂； 3 因為知道你們的信心經過考驗，就產生忍耐。 4 但忍耐要堅持到底（“堅持到底”原文作“有完全的功效”），使你們可以完全，毫無缺乏。 5 你們中間若有人缺少智慧，就當向那厚賜眾人，而且不斥責人的 神祈求，他就必得著。 6 可是，他應該憑著信心祈求，不要有疑惑；因為疑惑的人，就像被風吹蕩翻騰的海浪。 7 那樣的人，不要想從主得到甚麼； 8 因為三心兩意的人，在他的一切道路上，都搖擺不定。
富貴榮華轉眼消逝
9 卑微的弟兄應當以高升為榮； 10 富足的也不應該以降卑為辱；因為他如同草上的花，必要過去。 11 太陽一出，熱風一吹，草必枯乾，花必凋謝，它的美容就消失了；富足的人也必在他的奔波經營中這樣衰落。
忍受試煉的人有福了
12 能忍受試煉的人，是有福的；因為他經過考驗之後，必得著生命的冠冕，這冠冕是主應許給愛他的人的。 13 人被試探，不可說“我被 神試探”；因為 神不能被惡試探，他也不試探任何人。 14 每一個人受試探，都是被自己的私慾所勾引誘惑的。 15 私慾懷了胎，就生出罪；罪長成了，就產生死亡。
16 我親愛的弟兄們，不要看錯了。 17 各樣美好的賞賜，各樣完備的恩賜，都是從上面、從眾光之父降下來的，他本身並沒有改變，也沒有轉動的影子。 18 他憑著自己的旨意，藉著真理的道生了我們，使我們作他所造的萬物中初熟的果子。
要作行道的人
19 我親愛的弟兄們，你們要知道，人人都應該快快地聽，慢慢地說，慢一點動怒； 20 因為人的忿怒並不能成全 神的義。 21 所以你們應當擺脫一切污穢和所有的邪惡，以溫柔的心領受 神栽種的道；這道能救你們的靈魂。
22 你們應該作行道的人，不要單作聽道的人，自己欺騙自己； 23 因為人若只作聽道的人，不作行道的人，他就像一個人對著鏡子看自己本來的面貌， 24 看過走開以後，馬上就忘記自己的樣子。 25 唯有詳細察看那使人自由的全備的律法，並且時常遵守的人，他不是聽了就忘記，而是實行出來，就必因自己所作的蒙福。
26 如果有人自以為虔誠，卻不約束他的舌頭，反而自己欺騙自己，這人的虔誠是沒有用的。 27 在父 神看來，純潔無玷污的虔誠，就是照顧患難中的孤兒寡婦，並且保守自己不被世俗所污染。
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.
