Pagbati
1 Mula (A) kay Santiago, lingkod[a] ng Diyos at ng Panginoong Jesu-Cristo: Binabati ko ang labindalawang liping nagsikalat sa iba't ibang bansa.
Pananampalataya at Karunungan
2 Ituring ninyong tunay na kagalakan, mga kapatid, kapag kayo'y dumaranas ng iba't ibang pagsubok, 3 sapagkat alam ninyo na ang pagsubok sa inyong pananampalataya ay nagbubunga ng katatagan. 4 At dapat kayong magpakatatag hanggang wakas upang kayo'y dumating sa hustong gulang, ganap at walang kakulangan. 5 At kung ang sinuman sa inyo ay nagkukulang ng karunungan, humingi siya sa Diyos at siya'y bibigyan, sapagkat ang Diyos ay nagbibigay nang sagana sa lahat at hindi nanunumbat. 6 Ngunit ang humihingi ay dapat magtiwala at huwag mag-alinlangan, sapagkat ang nag-aalinlangan ay parang alon sa dagat na hinihipan ng hangin at itinataboy kahit saan. 7 Huwag isipin ng taong iyon na tatanggap siya ng anuman galing sa Panginoon. 8 Ang taong iyon ay nagdadalawang-isip, di-tiyak sa lahat ng kanyang dinaraanan.
Kahirapan at Kayamanan
9 Dapat magalak ang dukhang kapatid na siya'y itinataas ng Diyos, 10 gayundin (B) ang mayamang kapatid na ibinababa, sapagkat ang mayaman ay lilipas na gaya ng bulaklak sa parang. 11 Sumisikat ang araw na may matinding init at tinutuyo ang damo; nalalagas ang bulaklak nito at ang ganda nito'y kumukupas. Gayundin naman, ang mayaman ay lilipas sa gitna ng kanyang pagpapayaman.
Tukso at Pagsubok
12 Pinagpala ang taong nananatiling matatag sa gitna ng pagsubok; sapagkat kung siya'y magtagumpay, tatanggapin niya ang korona ng buhay na ipinangako ng Panginoon sa mga umiibig sa kanya. 13 Huwag sabihin ninuman na tinutukso siya ng Diyos kapag dumaranas siya ng pagsubok. Hindi maaaring matukso ng masama ang Diyos, at hindi rin naman siya nanunukso ninuman. 14 Natutukso ang tao kapag siya'y naaakit at nagpapatangay sa sarili niyang pagnanasa. 15 Kapag ang pagnanasang iyon ay naipaglihi, nanganganak ito ng kasalanan, at ang kasalanan naman kapag malaki na ay nagbubunga ng kamatayan. 16 Huwag kayong padaya, mga minamahal kong kapatid. 17 Ang bawat mabuti at ganap na kaloob ay nagmumula sa itaas, mula sa Ama na lumikha ng mga tanglaw sa kalangitan. Hindi siya nag-iiba o nagdudulot man ng anino dahil sa pagbabago. 18 Ipinanganak niya tayo ayon sa kanyang kalooban sa pamamagitan ng salita ng katotohanan, upang tayo'y maging mga unang bunga sa kanyang mga nilalang.
Pakikinig at Pagtupad
19 Unawain ninyo ito, mga kapatid kong minamahal: bawat isa'y maging laging handang makinig, maingat sa pananalita, at hindi madaling magalit. 20 Sapagkat ang galit ng tao ay hindi nagbubunga ng katuwiran ng Diyos. 21 Kaya't talikuran na ninyo ang lahat ng karumihan at laganap na kasamaan, at tanggaping may pagpapakumbaba ang salitang itinanim sa inyong puso. Ang salitang ito ang may kapangyarihang magligtas sa inyo. 22 Maging tagatupad kayo ng salita ng Diyos, at hindi tagapakinig lamang. Kung hindi, dinadaya ninyo ang inyong sarili. 23 Sinumang nakikinig ng salita at hindi tumutupad nito ay katulad ng taong tumitingin sa kanyang mukha sa salamin 24 at pagkatapos makita ang kanyang sarili ay umaalis at kaagad nalilimutan ang kanyang anyo. 25 Subalit ang taong masusing tumitingin at nagpapatuloy sa sakdal na kautusang nagpapalaya sa tao, siya ang pagpapalain ng Diyos sa kanyang mga gawain, kung siya'y tagatupad at hindi lamang tagapakinig na lumilimot ng kanyang narinig. 26 Kung iniisip ninuman na siya'y relihiyoso ngunit hindi marunong magpigil ng kanyang dila, dinadaya lamang niya ang kanyang sarili at ang kanyang relihiyon ay walang kabuluhan. 27 Ang dalisay at walang kapintasang relihiyon sa harap ng ating Diyos at Ama ay ito: ang dalawin ang mga ulila at ang mga balo sa kanilang kahirapan, at panatilihing malinis ang sarili mula sa karumihan ng sanlibutan.

James 1
Young's Literal Translation
1 James, of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ a servant, to the Twelve Tribes who are in the dispersion: Hail!
2 All joy count [it], my brethren, when ye may fall into temptations manifold;
3 knowing that the proof of your faith doth work endurance,
4 and let the endurance have a perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire -- in nothing lacking;
5 and if any of you do lack wisdom, let him ask from God, who is giving to all liberally, and not reproaching, and it shall be given to him;
6 and let him ask in faith, nothing doubting, for he who is doubting hath been like a wave of the sea, driven by wind and tossed,
7 for let not that man suppose that he shall receive anything from the Lord --
8 a two-souled man [is] unstable in all his ways.
9 And let the brother who is low rejoice in his exaltation,
10 and the rich in his becoming low, because as a flower of grass he shall pass away;
11 for the sun did rise with the burning heat, and did wither the grass, and the flower of it fell, and the grace of its appearance did perish, so also the rich in his way shall fade away!
12 Happy the man who doth endure temptation, because, becoming approved, he shall receive the crown of the life, which the Lord did promise to those loving Him.
13 Let no one say, being tempted -- `From God I am tempted,' for God is not tempted of evil, and Himself doth tempt no one,
14 and each one is tempted, by his own desires being led away and enticed,
15 afterward the desire having conceived, doth give birth to sin, and the sin having been perfected, doth bring forth death.
16 Be not led astray, my brethren beloved;
17 every good giving, and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the lights, with whom is no variation, or shadow of turning;
18 having counselled, He did beget us with a word of truth, for our being a certain first-fruit of His creatures.
19 So then, my brethren beloved, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger,
20 for the wrath of a man the righteousness of God doth not work;
21 wherefore having put aside all filthiness and superabundance of evil, in meekness be receiving the engrafted word, that is able to save your souls;
22 and become ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves,
23 because, if any one is a hearer of the word and not a doer, this one hath been like to a man viewing his natural face in a mirror,
24 for he did view himself, and hath gone away, and immediately he did forget of what kind he was;
25 and he who did look into the perfect law -- that of liberty, and did continue there, this one -- not a forgetful hearer becoming, but a doer of work -- this one shall be happy in his doing.
26 If any one doth think to be religious among you, not bridling his tongue, but deceiving his heart, of this one vain [is] the religion;
27 religion pure and undefiled with the God and Father is this, to look after orphans and widows in their tribulation -- unspotted to keep himself from the world.

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)

Greeting to the Twelve Tribes
1 James, (A)a bondservant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ,
To the twelve tribes which are scattered abroad:
Greetings.
Profiting from Trials
2 My brethren, (B)count it all joy (C)when you fall into various trials, 3 (D)knowing that the testing of your faith produces [a]patience. 4 But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be [b]perfect and complete, lacking nothing. 5 (E)If any of you lacks wisdom, (F)let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and (G)it will be given to him. 6 (H)But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind. 7 For let not that man suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord; 8 he is (I)a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.
The Perspective of Rich and Poor
9 Let the lowly brother glory in his exaltation, 10 but the rich in his humiliation, because (J)as a flower of the field he will pass away. 11 For no sooner has the sun risen with a burning heat than it withers the grass; its flower falls, and its beautiful appearance perishes. So the rich man also will fade away in his pursuits.
Loving God Under Trials
12 (K)Blessed is the man who endures temptation; for when he has been approved, he will receive (L)the crown of life (M)which the Lord has promised to those who love Him. 13 Let no one say when he is tempted, “I am tempted by God”; for God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does He Himself tempt anyone. 14 But each one is tempted when he is drawn away by his own desires and enticed. 15 Then, (N)when desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, (O)brings forth death.
16 Do not be deceived, my beloved brethren. 17 (P)Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, (Q)with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning. 18 (R)Of His own will He brought us forth by the (S)word of truth, (T)that we might be a kind of firstfruits of His creatures.
Qualities Needed in Trials
19 [c]So then, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, (U)slow to speak, (V)slow to wrath; 20 for the wrath of man does not produce the righteousness of God.
Doers—Not Hearers Only
21 Therefore (W)lay aside all filthiness and [d]overflow of wickedness, and receive with meekness the implanted word, (X)which is able to save your souls.
22 But (Y)be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves. 23 For (Z)if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man observing his natural face in a mirror; 24 for he observes himself, goes away, and immediately forgets what kind of man he was. 25 But (AA)he who looks into the perfect law of liberty and continues in it, and is not a forgetful hearer but a doer of the work, (AB)this one will be blessed in what he does.
26 If anyone [e]among you thinks he is religious, and (AC)does not bridle his tongue but deceives his own heart, this one’s religion is useless. 27 (AD)Pure and undefiled religion before God and the Father is this: (AE)to visit orphans and widows in their trouble, (AF)and to keep oneself unspotted from the world.
