Taking note, that, the proving of your faith, worketh out endurance;

But, if any of you is sinning short of wisdom, let him be asking of God, Who giveth unto all freely and upbraideth not, and it shall be given him;

For let not that man think that he shall receive anything from the Lord -

Be not deceived, my brethren beloved: -

For, man's anger, worketh not, God's righteousness.

Become ye doers of the word, and not hearers only - reasoning yourselves astray;

Because, if any is, a word-hearer, and not a doer, the same, is like unto a man observing his natural face in a mirror, -

But, he that hath obtained a nearer view into the perfect law of liberty, and hath taken up his abode by it, becoming - not a forgetful hearer, but a work doer, the same, happy in his doing, shall be.

If any thinketh he is observant of religion, not curbing his own tongue, but deceiving his own heart, this one's, religious observance is, vain:

My brethren, do not, with respect for persons, be holding the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory.

Would ye not have been led to make distinctions among yourselves, and have become judges with wicked reasonings?

Hearken! my brethren beloved: - Hath not, God, chosen the destitute in the world to be rich in faith and heirs of the kingdom which he hath promised to them that love him?

Whereas, ye, have dishonoured the destitute man! Do not, the rich, oppress you? and, themselves, drag you into courts of justice?

Do not, they, defame the noble name which hath been invoked upon you?

For, he that hath said - Do not commit adultery, hath also said - Do not commit murder, - now, if thou dost not commit adultery, but dost commit murder, thou hast become a transgressor of law.

What profit, my brethren, - if one should be saying he hath, faith, but hath not, works; can his faith save him?

And one from among you should say unto them - Withdraw in peace, be getting warmed and fed, but should not give them the things needful for the body, What the profit?

So, also, faith, if it have not works, is dead, by itself.

Abraham our father, was it not, by works, he was declared righteous - when he offered Isaac his son upon the altar?

Ye see that - by works, a man is declared righteous, and not by faith alone.

And, in like manner also, Rahab the harlot, Was it not, by works, she was declared righteous, when she gave welcome unto the messengers, and, by another way, urged them forth?

Not, many teachers, become ye, my brethren, knowing that, a severer sentence, shall ye receive;

For, oft, are we stumbling, one and all: If anyone, in word, doth not stumble, the same, is a mature man, able to curb even the whole body.

Out of the same mouth, come forth blessing and cursing! Not meet, my brethren, for, these things, thus, to be coming to pass!

But, if, bitter jealousy, ye have, and rivalry, in your hearts; be not boasting and showing yourselves false against the truth!

This wisdom is not one, from above, coming down, but is earthly, born of the soul, demoniacal!

Whence wars and whence fightings among you? are they not from hence - due to your pleasures which are taking the field in your members?

Ye covet - and have not, ye commit murder, and are jealous - and cannot obtain, - ye fight and war. Ye have not - because ye do not really ask,

Ye ask and receive not, because that, basely, ye ask, in order that, in your pleasures, ye may spend it .

Adulteresses! Know ye not that, the friendship of the world, is, enmity to God? Whosoever, therefore, is minded to be, a friend, of the world, an enemy of God, doth constitute himself.

Be not speaking one against another, brethren! He that speaketh against a brother, or judgeth his brother, speaketh against law, and judgeth law; Now, if, upon law, thou art passing judgment, thou art not a doer of law, but a judge!

Men who are not versed in the morrow - of what sort your life will be ; for ye are, a vapour - for a little, appearing, then, just disappearing!

To him, therefore, who knoweth how to be doing, a right thing, and is not doing it, it is, sin, unto him.

Ye sentenced - ye murdered the Righteous one! Is he not arraying himself against you?

Be not sighing, brethren, one against another, lest ye be judged, - Lo! the Judge, before the doors, is standing.

But, before all things, my brethren, do not swear, - either by heaven, or by the earth, or by any other oath; but let your Yea be yea, and your Nay nay, - lest, under judgment, ye fall.

Be ye taking note - that, he that turneth back a sinner out of the error of his way - will save his soul out of death, and hide a multitude of sins.
