Weymouth + + + + +Book 59 James + +001:001 James, a bondservant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ: + to the twelve tribes who are scattered over the world. + All good wishes. + +001:002 Reckon it nothing but joy, my brethren, whenever you find + yourselves hedged in by various trials. + +001:003 Be assured that the testing of your faith leads to + power of endurance. + +001:004 Only let endurance have perfect results so that you may become + perfect and complete, deficient in nothing. + +001:005 And if any one of you is deficient in wisdom, let him ask God for it, + who gives with open hand to all men, and without upbraiding; + and it will be given him. + +001:006 But let him ask in faith and have no doubts; for he who has + doubts is like the surge of the sea, driven by the wind + and tossed into spray. + +001:007 A person of that sort must not expect to receive anything + from the Lord-- + +001:008 such a one is a man of two minds, undecided in every step he takes. + +001:009 Let a brother in humble life rejoice when raised to a higher position; + +001:010 but a rich man should rejoice in being brought low, for like + flowers among the herbage rich men will pass away. + +001:011 The sun rises with his scorching heat and dries up the herbage, + so that its flowers drop off and the beauty of its + appearance perishes, and in the same way rich men with all + their prosperity will fade away. + +001:012 Blessed is he who patiently endures trials; for when he has stood + the test, he will gain the victor's crown--even the crown of Life-- + which the Lord has promised to those who love Him. + +001:013 Let no one say when passing through trial, "My temptation is + from God;" for God is incapable of being tempted to do evil, + and He Himself tempts no one. + +001:014 But when a man is tempted, it is his own passions that carry + him away and serve as a bait. + +001:015 Then the passion conceives, and becomes the parent of sin; + and sin, when fully matured, gives birth to death. + +001:016 Do not be deceived, my dearly-loved brethren. + +001:017 Every gift which is good, and every perfect boon, is from above, + and comes down from the Father, who is the source of all Light. + In Him there is no variation nor the slightest suggestion of change. + +001:018 In accordance with His will He made us His children through + the Message of the truth, so that we might, in a sense, + be the Firstfruits of the things which He has created. + +001:019 You know this, my dearly-loved brethren. But let every one + be quick to hear, slow to speak, and slow to be angry. + +001:020 For a man's anger does not lead to action which God + regards as righteous. + +001:021 Ridding yourselves, therefore, of all that is vile + and of the evil influences which prevail around you, + welcome in a humble spirit the Message implanted within you, + which is able to save your souls. + +001:022 But prove yourselves obedient to the Message, and do not be + mere hearers of it, imposing a delusion upon yourselves. + +001:023 For if any one listens but does not obey, he is like a man + who carefully looks at his own face in a mirror. + +001:024 Although he has looked carefully at himself, he goes away, + and has immediately forgotten the sort of man he is. + +001:025 But he who looks closely into the perfect Law--the Law of freedom-- + and continues looking, he, being not a hearer who forgets, but an + obedient doer, will as the result of his obedience be blessed. + +001:026 If a man thinks that he is scrupulously religious, + although he is not curbing his tongue but is deceiving himself, + his religious service is worthless. + +001:027 The religious service which is pure and stainless in the sight + of our God and Father is to visit fatherless children and widowed + women in their time of trouble, and to keep one's own self + unspotted from the world. + +002:001 My brethren, you must not make distinctions between one man + and another while you are striving to maintain faith in + the Lord Jesus Christ, who is our glory. + +002:002 For suppose a man comes into one of your meetings wearing gold + rings and fine clothes, and there also comes in a poor man + wearing shabby clothes, + +002:003 and you pay court to the one who wears the fine clothes, and say, + "Sit here; this is a good place;" while to the poor man you say, + "Stand there, or sit on the floor at my feet;" + +002:004 is it not plain that in your hearts you have little faith, + seeing that you have become judges full of wrong thoughts? + +002:005 Listen, my dearly-loved brethren. Has not God chosen those whom + the world regards as poor to be rich in faith and heirs + of the Kingdom which He has promised to those that love Him? + +002:006 But *you* have put dishonour upon the poor man. + Yet is it not the rich who grind you down? Are not they + the very people who drag you into the Law courts?-- + +002:007 and the very people who speak evil of the noble Name by which + you are called? + +002:008 If, however, you are keeping the Law as supreme, in obedience + to the Commandment which says "You are to love your fellow + man just as you love yourself," you are acting rightly. + +002:009 But if you are making distinctions between one man and another, + you are guilty of sin, and are convicted by the Law as offenders. + +002:010 A man who has kept the Law as a whole, but has failed to keep + some one command, has become guilty of violating all. + +002:011 For He who said, "Do not commit adultery," also said, + "Do not commit murder," and if you are a murderer, although not + an adulterer, you have become an offender against the Law. + +002:012 Speak and act as those should who are expecting to be judged + by the Law of freedom. + +002:013 For he who shows no mercy will have judgement given against him + without mercy; but mercy triumphs over judgement. + +002:014 What good is it, my brethren, if a man professes to have faith, + and yet his actions do not correspond? Can such faith save him? + +002:015 Suppose a Christian brother or sister is poorly clad or + lacks daily food, + +002:016 and one of you says to them, "I wish you well; keep yourselves + warm and well fed," and yet you do not give them what they need; + what is the use of that? + +002:017 So also faith, if it is unaccompanied by obedience, has no life + in it--so long as it stands alone. + +002:018 Nay, some one will say, "You have faith, I have actions: + prove to me your faith apart from corresponding actions and I + will prove mine to you by my actions. + +002:019 You believe that God is one, and you are quite right: + evil spirits also believe this, and shudder." + +002:020 But, idle boaster, are you willing to be taught how it + is that faith apart from obedience is worthless? + Take the case of Abraham our forefather. + +002:021 Was it, or was it not, because of his actions that he was + declared to be righteous as the result of his having offered + up his son Isaac upon the altar? + +002:022 You notice that his faith was co-operating with his actions, + and that by his actions his faith was perfected; + +002:023 and the Scripture was fulfilled which says, "And Abraham believed God, + and his faith was placed to his credit as righteousness," + and he received the name of `God's friend.' + +002:024 You all see that it is because of actions that a man is + pronounced righteous, and not simply because of faith. + +002:025 In the same way also was not the notorious sinner Rahab declared + to be righteous because of her actions when she welcomed + the spies and hurriedly helped them to escape another way? + +002:026 For just as a human body without a spirit is lifeless, + so also faith is lifeless if it is unaccompanied by obedience. + +003:001 Do not be eager, my brethren, for many among you to become teachers; + for you know that we teachers shall undergo severer judgement. + +003:002 For we often stumble and fall, all of us. If there is any one + who never stumbles in speech, that man has reached maturity + of character and is able to curb his whole nature. + +003:003 Remember that we put the horses' bit into their mouths to make + them obey us, and so we turn their whole bodies round. + +003:004 So too with ships, great as they are, and often driven along + by strong gales, yet they can be steered with a very small + rudder in whichever direction the caprice of the man at + the helm chooses. + +003:005 In the same way the tongue is an insignificant part of the body, + but it is immensely boastful. Remember how a mere spark + may set a vast forest in flames. + +003:006 And the tongue is a fire. That world of iniquity, the tongue, + is placed within us spotting and soiling our whole nature, + and setting the whole round of our lives on fire, being itself + set on fire by Gehenna. + +003:007 For brute nature under all its forms--beasts and birds, + reptiles and fishes--can be subjected and kept in subjection + by human nature. + +003:008 But the tongue no man or woman is able to tame. + It is an ever-busy mischief, and is full of deadly poison. + +003:009 With it we bless the Lord and Father, and with it we curse men, + who are made in God's likeness. + +003:010 Out of the same mouth there proceed blessing and cursing. + My brethren, this ought not to be. + +003:011 In a fountain, are fresh water and bitter sent forth from + the same opening? + +003:012 Can a fig-tree, my brethren, yield olives, or a vine yield figs? + No; and neither can salt water yield sweet. + +003:013 Which of you is a wise and well-instructed man? + Let him prove it by a right life with conduct guided by a + wisely teachable spirit. + +003:014 But if in your hearts you have bitter feelings of envy and rivalry, + do not speak boastfully and falsely, in defiance of the truth. + +003:015 That is not the wisdom which comes down from above: it belongs + to earth, to the unspiritual nature, and to evil spirits. + +003:016 For where envy and rivalry are, there also are unrest and + every vile deed. + +003:017 The wisdom from above is first of all pure, then peaceful, + courteous, not self-willed, full of compassion and kind actions, + free from favouritism and from all insincerity. + +003:018 And peace, for those who strive for peace, is the seed + of which the harvest is righteousness. + +004:001 What causes wars and contentions among you? Is it not the cravings + which are ever at war within you for various pleasures? + +004:002 You covet things and yet cannot get them; you commit murder; + you have passionate desires and yet cannot gain your end; + you begin to fight and make war. You have not, because you + do not pray; + +004:003 or you pray and yet do not receive, because you pray wrongly, + your object being to waste what you get on some pleasure or another. + +004:004 You unfaithful women, do you not know that friendship with + the world means enmity to God? Therefore whoever is bent on + being friendly with the world makes himself an enemy to God. + +004:005 Or do you suppose that it is to no purpose that the Scripture says, + "The Spirit which He has caused to dwell in our hearts yearns + jealously over us"? + +004:006 But He gives more abundant grace, as is implied in His saying, + "God sets Himself against the haughty, but to the lowly + He gives grace." + +004:007 Submit therefore to God: resist the Devil, and he will + flee from you. + +004:008 Draw near to God, and He will draw near to you. + Cleanse your hands, you sinners, and make your hearts pure, + you who are half-hearted towards God. + +004:009 Afflict yourselves and mourn and weep aloud; let your laughter + be turned into grief, and your gladness into shame. + +004:010 Humble yourselves in the presence of the Lord, and He + will exalt you. + +004:011 Do not speak evil of one another, brethren. The man who speaks + evil of a brother-man or judges his brother-man speaks evil + of the Law and judges the Law. But if you judge the Law, + you are no longer one who obeys the Law, but one who judges it. + +004:012 The only real Lawgiver and Judge is He who is able to save or + to destroy. Who are you to sit in judgement on your fellow man? + +004:013 Come, you who say, "To-day or to-morrow we will go to this + or that city, and spend a year there and carry on + a successful business," + +004:014 when, all the while, you do not even know what will happen to-morrow. + For what is the nature of your life? Why, it is but a mist, + which appears for a short time and then is seen no more. + +004:015 Instead of that you ought to say, "If it is the Lord's will, + we shall live and do this or that." + +004:016 But, as the case stands, it is in mere self-confidence that + you boast: all such boasting is evil. + +004:017 If, however, a man knows what it is right to do and yet does + not do it, he commits a sin. + +005:001 Come, you rich men, weep aloud and howl for your sorrows + which will soon be upon you. + +005:002 Your treasures have rotted, and your piles of clothing are moth-eaten; + +005:003 your gold and your silver have become covered with rust, + and the rust on them will give evidence against you, + and will eat your flesh like fire. You have hoarded up wealth + in these last days. + +005:004 I tell you that the pay of the labourers who have gathered + in your crops--pay which you are keeping back--is calling + out against you; and the outcries of those who have been + your reapers have entered into the ears of the Lord of + the armies of Heaven. + +005:005 Here on earth you have lived self-indulgent and profligate lives. + You have stupefied yourselves with gross feeding; but a day + of slaughter has come. + +005:006 You have condemned--you have murdered--the righteous man: + he offers no resistance. + +005:007 Be patient therefore, brethren, until the Coming of the Lord. + Notice how eagerly a farmer waits for a valuable crop! + He is patient over it till it has received the early and + the later rain. + +005:008 So you also must be patient: keeping up your courage; + for the Coming of the Lord is now close at hand. + +005:009 Do not cry out in condemnation of one another, brethren, lest you + come under judgement. I tell you that the Judge is standing + at the door. + +005:010 In illustration, brethren, of persecution patiently endured take + the Prophets who have spoken as messengers from the Lord. + +005:011 Remember that we call those blessed who endured what they did. + You have also heard of Job's patient endurance, + and have seen the issue of the Lord's dealings with him-- + how full of tenderness and pity the Lord is. + +005:012 But above all things, my brethren, do not swear, + either by Heaven or by the earth, or with any other oath. + Let your `yes' be simply `yes,' and your `no' be simply `no;' + that you may not come under condemnation. + +005:013 Is one of you suffering? Let him pray. Is any one in good spirits? + Let him sing a psalm. + +005:014 Is any one ill? Let him send for the Elders of the Church, + and let them pray over him, after anointing him with oil + in the name of the Lord. + +005:015 And the prayer of faith will restore the sick man, and the Lord + will raise him up to health; and if he has committed sins, + they shall be forgiven. + +005:016 Therefore confess your sins to one another, and pray for one another, + so that you may be cured. The heartfelt supplication of a + righteous man exerts a mighty influence. + +005:017 Elijah was a man with a nature similar to ours, + and he earnestly prayed that there might be no rain: + and no rain fell on the land for three years and six months. + +005:018 Again he prayed, and the sky gave rain and the land + yielded its crops. + +005:019 My brethren, if one of you strays from the truth and some one + brings him back, + +005:020 let him know that he who brings a sinner back from his evil + ways will save the man's soul from death and throw a veil + over a multitude of sins. + + + + + + + + + + +End of the Project Gutenberg EBook of Weymouth New Testament in Modern +Speech, James, by R.

In 2001, the Project +Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure +and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future +generations.

Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation + +Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide +spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of +increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be +freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest +array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations +($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt +status with the IRS. + +The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating +charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United +States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a +considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up +with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations +where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND +DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any particular +state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate + +While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we +have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition +against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who +approach us with offers to donate. + +International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make +any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from +outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. + +Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation +methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other +ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. To +donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate + +Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works. + +Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project +Gutenberg-tm concept of a library of electronic works that could be +freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and +distributed Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of +volunteer support. + +Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in +the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not +necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper +edition. + +Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search +facility: www.gutenberg.org + +This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, +including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary +Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to +subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks. + |
