Red-Letter King James Bible 1769 Edition (KJV)

James 1

1 We are to rejoice under the cross, 5 to ask patience of God, 13 and in our trials not to impute our weakness, or sins, unto him, 19 but rather to hearken to the Word, to meditate in it, and to do thereafter: 26 otherwise men may seem, but never be truly religious.

 1:1 ¶ James, 2385 a servant 1401 of God 2316 and 2532 of the Lord 2962 Jesus 2424 Christ, 5547 to the x3588 twelve 1427 tribes 5443 which y1722 x3588 are scattered abroad, 1290 x1722 greeting. 5463 z5721

 1:2 My 3450 brethren, 80 count x2233 it y2233 z5662 all 3956 joy 5479 when 3752 ye fall y4045 z5632 into x4045 divers 4164 temptations; 3986

 1:3 Knowing 1097 z5723 [this], that 3754 the x3588 trying 1383 of your 5216 faith 4102 worketh 2716 z5736 patience. 5281

 1:4 But 1161 let y2192 z0 patience 5281 have 2192 z5720 [her] perfect 5046 work, 2041 that 2443 ye may be 5600 z5753 perfect 5046 and 2532 entire, 3648 wanting 3007 z5746 nothing. 3367 y1722

 1:5 1161 If x1487 any y1536 x5100 of you 5216 lack 3007 z5743 wisdom, 4678 let him ask 154 z5720 of 3844 God, 2316 that giveth 1325 z5723 to all 3956 [men] liberally, 574 and 2532 upbraideth 3679 z5723 not; 3361 and 2532 it shall be given 1325 z5701 him. 846

 1:6 But 1161 let him ask 154 z5720 in 1722 faith, 4102 nothing 3367 wavering. 1252 z5734 For 1063 he that wavereth 1252 z5734 is like 1503 z5758 a wave 2830 of the sea 2281 driven with the wind 416 z5746 and 2532 tossed. 4494 z5746

 1:7 For 1063 let y3633 z0 not 3361 that 1565 man 444 think 3633 z5737 that 3754 he shall receive 2983 z5695 any thing 5100 of 3844 the x3588 Lord. 2962

 1:8 A double minded 1374 man 435 [is] unstable 182 in 1722 all 3956 his y846 x848 ways. 3598

 1:9 1161 Let y2744 z0 the x3588 brother 80 of low degree 5011 rejoice 2744 z5737 in 1722 that he y846 x848 is exalted: 5311

 1:10 But 1161 the x3588 rich, 4145 in 1722 that he y846 x848 is made low: 5014 because 3754 as 5613 the flower 438 of the grass 5528 he shall pass away. 3928 z5695

 1:11 For 1063 the x3588 sun 2246 is no sooner risen 393 z5656 with 4862 a burning heat, 2742 but 2532 it withereth 3583 z5656 the x3588 grass, 5528 and 2532 the x3588 flower 438 thereof 846 falleth, 1601 z5627 and 2532 the x3588 grace 2143 of the x3588 fashion 4383 of it 846 perisheth: 622 z5639 so 3779 also 2532 shall y3133 z0 the x3588 rich man 4145 fade away 3133 z5701 in 1722 his y846 x848 ways. 4197

 1:12 Blessed 3107 [is] the man 435 that 3739 endureth 5278 z5719 temptation: 3986 for 3754 when he is x1096 tried, 1384 y1096 z5637 he shall receive 2983 z5695 the x3588 crown 4735 of life, 2222 which 3739 the x3588 Lord 2962 hath promised 1861 z5662 to them that love 25 z5723 him. 846

 1:13 Let y3004 z0 no man 3367 say 3004 z5720 when he is tempted, 3985 z5746 y3754 I am tempted 3985 z5743 of 575 God: 2316 for 1063 God 2316 cannot be tempted 551 2076 z5748 with evil, 2556 neither 1161 tempteth 3985 z0 he y846 y3985 z5719 x848 any man: 3762

 1:14 But 1161 every man 1538 is tempted, 3985 z5743 when he is drawn away 1828 z5746 of 5259 his own 2398 lust, 1939 and 2532 enticed. 1185 z5746

 1:15 Then 1534 when lust 1939 hath conceived, 4815 z5631 it bringeth forth 5088 z5719 sin: y266 x616 and 1161 sin, 266 when it is finished, 658 z5685 bringeth forth 616 z5719 death. 2288

 1:16 Do y4105 z0 not 3361 err, 4105 z5744 my 3450 beloved 27 brethren. 80

 1:17 Every 3956 good 18 gift 1394 and 2532 every 3956 perfect 5046 gift 1434 is 2076 z5748 from above, 509 and cometh down 2597 z5723 from 575 the x3588 Father 3962 of lights, 5457 with 3844 whom 3739 is 1762 z5748 no 3756 variableness, 3883 neither 2228 shadow 644 of turning. 5157

 1:18 Of his own will 1014 z5679 begat x616 he y616 z5656 us 2248 with the word 3056 of truth, 225 that y1519 we 2248 should be 1511 z5750 a kind 5100 of firstfruits 536 of his y846 x848 creatures. 2938

 1:19 Wherefore, 5620 my 3450 beloved 27 brethren, 80 let y2077 z0 every 3956 man 444 be 2077 z5749 swift 5036 to y1519 hear, 191 z5658 slow 1021 to y1519 speak, 2980 z5658 slow 1021 to 1519 wrath: 3709

 1:20 For 1063 the wrath 3709 of man 435 worketh 2716 z5736 not 3756 the righteousness 1343 of God. 2316

 1:21 Wherefore 1352 lay apart 659 z5642 all 3956 filthiness 4507 and 2532 superfluity 4050 of naughtiness, 2549 and receive 1209 z5663 with 1722 meekness 4240 the x3588 engrafted 1721 word, 3056 which y3588 is able 1410 z5740 to save 4982 z5658 your 5216 souls. 5590

 1:22 But 1161 be x1096 ye y1096 z5737 doers 4163 of the word, 3056 and 2532 not 3361 hearers 202 only, 3440 deceiving 3884 z5740 your own selves. 1438

 1:23 For 3754 if any 1536 be 2076 z5748 a hearer 202 of the word, 3056 and 2532 not 3756 a doer, 4163 he 3778 is like y1503 z5758 unto x1503 a man 435 beholding 2657 z5723 his 846 natural 1078 face 4383 in 1722 a glass: 2072

 1:24 For 1063 he beholdeth 2657 z5656 himself, 1438 and 2532 goeth his way, 565 z5754 and 2532 straightway 2112 forgetteth 1950 z5633 what manner of man 3697 he was. 2258 z5713

 1:25 But 1161 whoso looketh 3879 z5660 into 1519 the perfect 5046 law 3551 of x3588 liberty, 1657 and 2532 continueth 3887 z5660 [therein], he 3778 being 1096 z5637 not 3756 a forgetful 1953 hearer, 202 but 235 a doer 4163 of the work, 2041 this man 3778 shall be 2071 z5704 blessed 3107 in 1722 his y846 x848 deed. 4162

 1:26 If any man 1536 among 1722 you 5213 seem 1380 z5719 to be 1511 z5750 religious, 2357 and bridleth 5468 z5723 not 3361 his y846 x848 tongue, 1100 but 235 deceiveth 538 z5723 his own y846 x848 heart, 2588 this man's 5127 religion 2356 [is] vain. 3152

 1:27 Pure 2513 religion 2356 and 2532 undefiled 283 before 3844 God 2316 and 2532 the Father 3962 is 2076 z5748 this, 3778 To visit 1980 z5738 the fatherless 3737 and 2532 widows 5503 in 1722 their 846 affliction, 2347 [and] to keep 5083 z5721 himself 1438 unspotted 784 from 575 the x3588 world. 2889
