WEB·James 1

¹James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which are in the Dispersion: Greetings.

KJVJames^G2385, a servant^G1401 of God^G2316 and^G2532 of the Lord^G2962 Jesus^G2424 Christ^G5547, to the twelve^G1427 tribes^G5443 which^G1722 are scattered abroad^G1290, greeting^G5463^(G5721).

² Count it all joy, my brothers, when you fall into various temptations,

KJVMy^G3450 brethren^G80, count it^G2233^(G5662) all^G3956 joy^G5479 when^G3752 ye fall^G4045^(G5632) into divers^G4164 temptations^G3986;

³ knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance.

KJVKnowing^G1097^(G5723) this, that^G3754 the trying^G1383 of your^G5216 faith^G4102 worketh^G2716^(G5736) patience^G5281.

⁴ Let endurance have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.

KJVBut^G1161 let^G2192 patience^G5281 have^G2192^(G5720) her perfect^G5046 work^G2041, that^G2443 ye may be^G5600^(G5753) perfect^G5046 and^G2532 entire^G3648, wanting^G3007^(G5746) nothing^G1722^G3367.

⁵ But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him.

KJV^G1161 If any^G1536 of you^G5216 lack^G3007^(G5743) wisdom^G4678, let him ask^G154^(G5720) of^G3844 God^G2316, that giveth^G1325^(G5723) to all^G3956 men liberally^G574, and^G2532 upbraideth^G3679^(G5723) not^G3361; and^G2532 it shall be given^G1325^(G5701) him^G846.

⁶ But let him ask in faith, without any doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, driven by the wind and tossed.

KJVBut^G1161 let him ask^G154^(G5720) in^G1722 faith^G4102, nothing^G3367 wavering^G1252^(G5734). For^G1063 he that wavereth^G1252^(G5734) is like^G1503^(G5758) a wave^G2830 of the sea^G2281 driven with the wind^G416^(G5746) and^G2532 tossed^G4494^(G5746).

⁷ For that man shouldn’t think that he will receive anything from the Lord.

KJVFor^G1063 let^G3633 not^G3361 that^G1565 man^G444 think^G3633^(G5737) that^G3754 he shall receive^G2983^(G5695) any thing^G5100 of^G3844 the Lord^G2962.

⁸ He is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.

KJVA double minded^G1374 man^G435 is unstable^G182 in^G1722 all^G3956 his^G846 ways^G3598.

⁹ Let the brother in humble circumstances glory in his high position;

KJV^G1161 Let^G2744 the brother^G80 of low degree^G5011 rejoice^G2744^(G5737) in^G1722 that he^G846 is exalted^G5311:

¹⁰ and the rich, in that he is made humble, because like the flower in the grass, he will pass away.

KJVBut^G1161 the rich^G4145, in^G1722 that he^G846 is made low^G5014: because^G3754 as^G5613 the flower^G438 of the grass^G5528 he shall pass away^G3928^(G5695).

¹¹ For the sun arises with the scorching wind and withers the grass; and the flower in it falls, and the beauty of its appearance perishes. So the rich man will also fade away in his pursuits.

KJVFor^G1063 the sun^G2246 is no sooner risen^G393^(G5656) with^G4862 a burning heat^G2742, but^G2532 it withereth^G3583^(G5656) the grass^G5528, and^G2532 the flower^G438 thereof^G846 falleth^G1601^(G5627), and^G2532 the grace^G2143 of the fashion^G4383 of it^G846 perisheth^G622^(G5639): so^G3779 also^G2532 shall^G3133 the rich man^G4145 fade away^G3133^(G5701) in^G1722 his^G846 ways^G4197.

¹² Blessed is a person who endures temptation, for when he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life which the Lord promised to those who love him.

KJVBlessed^G3107 is the man^G435 that^G3739 endureth^G5278^(G5719) temptation^G3986: for^G3754 when he is tried^G1384^G1096^(G5637), he shall receive^G2983^(G5695) the crown^G4735 of life^G2222, which^G3739 the Lord^G2962 hath promised^G1861^(G5662) to them that love^G25^(G5723) him^G846.

¹³ Let no man say when he is tempted, “I am tempted by God,” for God can’t be tempted by evil, and he himself tempts no one.

KJVLet^G3004 no man^G3367 say^G3004^(G5720) when he is tempted^G3985^(G5746),^G3754 I am tempted^G3985^(G5743) of^G575 God^G2316: for^G1063 God^G2316 cannot be tempted^G551^G2076^(G5748) with evil^G2556, neither^G1161 tempteth^G3985 he^G846^G3985^(G5719) any man^G3762:

¹⁴ But each one is tempted when he is drawn away by his own lust and enticed.

KJVBut^G1161 every man^G1538 is tempted^G3985^(G5743), when he is drawn away^G1828^(G5746) of^G5259 his own^G2398 lust^G1939, and^G2532 enticed^G1185^(G5746).

¹⁵ Then the lust, when it has conceived, bears sin. The sin, when it is full grown, produces death.

KJVThen^G1534 when lust^G1939 hath conceived^G4815^(G5631), it bringeth forth^G5088^(G5719) sin^G266: and^G1161 sin^G266, when it is finished^G658^(G5685), bringeth forth^G616^(G5719) death^G2288.

¹⁶ Don’t be deceived, my beloved brothers.

KJVDo^G4105 not^G3361 err^G4105^(G5744), my^G3450 beloved^G27 brethren^G80.

¹⁷ Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom can be no variation nor turning shadow.

KJVEvery^G3956 good^G18 gift^G1394 and^G2532 every^G3956 perfect^G5046 gift^G1434 is^G2076^(G5748) from above^G509, and cometh down^G2597^(G5723) from^G575 the Father^G3962 of lights^G5457, with^G3844 whom^G3739 is^G1762^(G5748) no^G3756 variableness^G3883, neither^G2228 shadow^G644 of turning^G5157.

¹⁸ Of his own will he gave birth to us by the word of truth, that we should be a kind of first fruits of his creatures.

KJVOf his own will^G1014^(G5679) begat he^G616^(G5656) us^G2248 with the word^G3056 of truth^G225, that^G1519 we^G2248 should be^G1511^(G5750) a kind^G5100 of firstfruits^G536 of his^G846 creatures^G2938.

¹⁹ So, then, my beloved brothers, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, and slow to anger;

KJVWherefore^G5620, my^G3450 beloved^G27 brethren^G80, let^G2077 every^G3956 man^G444 be^G2077^(G5749) swift^G5036 to^G1519 hear^G191^(G5658), slow^G1021 to^G1519 speak^G2980^(G5658), slow^G1021 to^G1519 wrath^G3709:

²⁰ for the anger of man doesn’t produce the righteousness of God.

KJVFor^G1063 the wrath^G3709 of man^G435 worketh^G2716^(G5736) not^G3756 the righteousness^G1343 of God^G2316.

²¹ Therefore, putting away all filthiness and overflowing of wickedness, receive with humility the implanted word, which is able to save your souls.

KJVWherefore^G1352 lay apart^G659^(G5642) all^G3956 filthiness^G4507 and^G2532 superfluity^G4050 of naughtiness^G2549, and receive^G1209^(G5663) with^G1722 meekness^G4240 the engrafted^G1721 word^G3056, which^G3588 is able^G1410^(G5740) to save^G4982^(G5658) your^G5216 souls^G5590.

²² But be doers of the word, and not only hearers, deluding your own selves.

KJVBut^G1161 be ye^G1096^(G5737) doers^G4163 of the word^G3056, and^G2532 not^G3361 hearers^G202 only^G3440, deceiving^G3884^(G5740) your own selves^G1438.

²³ For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man looking at his natural face in a mirror;

KJVFor^G3754 if any^G1536 be^G2076^(G5748) a hearer^G202 of the word^G3056, and^G2532 not^G3756 a doer^G4163, he^G3778 is like^G1503^(G5758) unto a man^G435 beholding^G2657^(G5723) his^G846 natural^G1078 face^G4383 in^G1722 a glass^G2072:

²⁴ for he sees himself, and goes away, and immediately forgets what kind of man he was.

KJVFor^G1063 he beholdeth^G2657^(G5656) himself^G1438, and^G2532 goeth his way^G565^(G5754), and^G2532 straightway^G2112 forgetteth^G1950^(G5633) what manner of man^G3697 he was^G2258^(G5713).

²⁵ But he who looks into the perfect law of freedom and continues, not being a hearer who forgets but a doer of the work, this man will be blessed in what he does.

KJVBut^G1161 whoso looketh^G3879^(G5660) into^G1519 the perfect^G5046 law^G3551 of liberty^G1657, and^G2532 continueth^G3887^(G5660) therein, he^G3778 being^G1096^(G5637) not^G3756 a forgetful^G1953 hearer^G202, but^G235 a doer^G4163 of the work^G2041, this man^G3778 shall be^G2071^(G5704) blessed^G3107 in^G1722 his^G846 deed^G4162.

²⁶ If anyone among you thinks himself to be religious while he doesn’t bridle his tongue, but deceives his heart, this man’s religion is worthless.

KJVIf any man^G1536 among^G1722 you^G5213 seem^G1380^(G5719) to be^G1511^(G5750) religious^G2357, and bridleth^G5468^(G5723) not^G3361 his^G846 tongue^G1100, but^G235 deceiveth^G538^(G5723) his own^G846 heart^G2588, this man's^G5127 religion^G2356 is vain^G3152.

²⁷ Pure religion and undefiled before our God and Father is this: to visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained by the world.

KJVPure^G2513 religion^G2356 and^G2532 undefiled^G283 before^G3844 God^G2316 and^G2532 the Father^G3962 is^G2076^(G5748) this^G3778, To visit^G1980^(G5738) the fatherless^G3737 and^G2532 widows^G5503 in^G1722 their^G846 affliction^G2347, and to keep^G5083^(G5721) himself^G1438 unspotted^G784 from^G575 the world^G2889.

WEB·Hebrews 13

¹Let brotherly love continue.

KJVLet^G3306 brotherly love^G5360 continue^G3306^(G5720).

² Don’t forget to show hospitality to strangers, for in doing so, some have entertained angels without knowing it.

KJVBe^G1950 not^G3361 forgetful^G1950^(G5737) to entertain strangers^G5381: for^G1063 thereby^G1223^G5026 some^G5100 have entertained^G3579^(G5660) angels^G32 unawares^G2990^(G5627).

³ Remember those who are in bonds, as bound with them, and those who are ill-treated, since you are also in the body.

KJVRemember^G3403^(G5737) them that are in bonds^G1198, as^G5613 bound with them^G4887^(G5772); and them which suffer adversity^G2558^(G5746), as^G5613 being^G5607^(G5752) yourselves^G846 also^G2532 in^G1722 the body^G4983.

⁴ Let marriage be held in honor among all, and let the bed be undefiled; but God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterers.

KJVMarriage^G1062 is honourable^G5093 in^G1722 all^G3956, and^G2532 the bed^G2845 undefiled^G283: but^G1161 whoremongers^G4205 and^G2532 adulterers^G3432 God^G2316 will judge^G2919^(G5692)^(G5719).

⁵ Be free from the love of money, content with such things as you have, for he has said, “I will in no way leave you, neither will I in any way forsake you.”

KJVLet your conversation^G5158 be without covetousness^G866; and be content^G714^(G5746) with such things as ye have^G3918^(G5752): for^G1063 he^G846 hath said^G2046^(G5758), I will never^G3364 leave^G447^(G5632) thee^G4571, nor^G3761^G3364 forsake^G1459^(G5632) thee^G4571.

⁶ So that with good courage we say, “The Lord is my helper. I will not fear. What can man do to me?”

KJVSo that^G5620 we^G2248 may boldly^G2292^(G5723) say^G3004^(G5721), The Lord^G2962 is my^G1698 helper^G998, and^G2532 I will^G5399 not^G3756 fear^G5399^(G5700) what^G5101 man^G444 shall do^G4160^(G5692) unto me^G3427.

⁷ Remember your leaders, men who spoke to you the word of God, and considering the results of their conduct, imitate their faith.

KJVRemember^G3421^(G5720) them which have the rule^G2233^(G5740) over you^G5216, who^G3748 have spoken^G2980^(G5656) unto you^G5213 the word^G3056 of God^G2316: whose^G3739 faith^G4102 follow^G3401^(G5737), considering^G333^(G5723) the end^G1545 of their conversation^G391.

⁸ Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.

KJVJesus^G2424 Christ^G5547 the same^G846 yesterday^G5504, and^G2532 to day^G4594, and^G2532 for^G1519 ever^G165.

⁹ Don’t be carried away by various and strange teachings, for it is good that the heart be established by grace, not by foods, through which those who were so occupied were not benefited.

KJVBe^G4064 not^G3361 carried about^G4064^(G5744) with divers^G4164 and^G2532 strange^G3581 doctrines^G1322. For^G1063 it is a good thing^G2570 that the heart^G2588 be established^G950^(G5745) with grace^G5485; not^G3756 with meats^G1033, which have^G5623 not^G3756 profited^G5623^(G5681) them that have been occupied^G4043^(G5660) therein^G1722^G3739.

¹⁰ We have an altar from which those who serve the holy tabernacle have no right to eat.

KJVWe have^G2192^(G5719) an altar^G2379, whereof^G1537^G3739 they have^G2192^(G5719) no^G3756 right^G1849 to eat^G5315^(G5629) which serve^G3000^(G5723) the tabernacle^G4633.

¹¹ For the bodies of those animals, whose blood is brought into the holy place by the high priest as an offering for sin, are burned outside of the camp.

KJVFor^G1063 the bodies^G4983 of those^G5130 beasts^G2226, whose^G3739 blood^G129 is brought^G1533^(G5743) into^G1519 the sanctuary^G39 by^G1223 the high priest^G749 for^G4012 sin^G266, are burned^G2618^(G5743) without^G1854 the camp^G3925.

¹² Therefore Jesus also, that he might sanctify the people through his own blood, suffered outside of the gate.

KJVWherefore^G1352 Jesus^G2424 also^G2532, that^G2443 he might sanctify^G37^(G5661) the people^G2992 with^G1223 his own^G2398 blood^G129, suffered^G3958^(G5627) without^G1854 the gate^G4439.

¹³ Let’s therefore go out to him outside of the camp, bearing his reproach.

KJVLet us go forth^G1831^(G5741) therefore^G5106 unto^G4314 him^G846 without^G1854 the camp^G3925, bearing^G5342^(G5723) his^G846 reproach^G3680.

¹⁴ For we don’t have here an enduring city, but we seek that which is to come.

KJVFor^G1063 here^G5602 have we^G2192^(G5719) no^G3756 continuing^G3306^(G5723) city^G4172, but^G235 we seek one^G1934^(G5719) to come^G3195^(G5723).

¹⁵ Through him, then, let’s offer up a sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of lips which proclaim allegiance to his name.

KJVBy^G1223 him^G846 therefore^G3767 let us offer^G399^(G5725) the sacrifice^G2378 of praise^G133 to God^G2316 continually^G1275, that is^G5123^(G5748), the fruit^G2590 of our lips^G5491 giving thanks^G3670^(G5723) to his^G846 name^G3686.

¹⁶ But don’t forget to be doing good and sharing, for with such sacrifices God is well pleased.

KJVBut^G1161 to do good^G2140 and^G2532 to communicate^G2842 forget^G1950^(G5737) not^G3361: for^G1063 with such^G5108 sacrifices^G2378 God^G2316 is well pleased^G2100^(G5743).

¹⁷ Obey your leaders and submit to them, for they watch on behalf of your souls, as those who will give account, that they may do this with joy and not with groaning, for that would be unprofitable for you.

KJVObey^G3982^(G5732) them that have the rule^G2233^(G5740) over you^G5216, and^G2532 submit yourselves^G5226^(G5720): for^G1063 they^G846 watch^G69^(G5719) for^G5228 your^G5216 souls^G5590, as^G5613 they that must give^G591^(G5694) account^G3056, that^G2443 they may do^G4160^(G5725) it^G5124 with^G3326 joy^G5479, and^G2532 not^G3361 with grief^G4727^(G5723): for^G1063 that^G5124 is unprofitable^G255 for you^G5213.

¹⁸ Pray for us, for we are persuaded that we have a good conscience, desiring to live honorably in all things.

KJVPray^G4336^(G5737) for^G4012 us^G2257: for^G1063^G3754 we trust^G3982^(G5754) we have^G2192^(G5719) a good^G2570 conscience^G4893, in^G1722 all things^G3956 willing^G2309^(G5723) to live^G390^(G5745) honestly^G2573.

¹⁹ I strongly urge you to do this, that I may be restored to you sooner.

KJVBut^G1161 I beseech^G3870^(G5719) you the rather^G4056 to do^G4160^(G5658) this^G5124, that^G2443 I may be restored^G600^(G5686) to you^G5213 the sooner^G5032.

²⁰ Now may the God of peace, who brought again from the dead the great shepherd of the sheep with the blood of an eternal covenant, our Lord Jesus,

KJVNow^G1161 the God^G2316 of peace^G1515, that brought again^G321^(G5631) from^G1537 the dead^G3498 our^G2257 Lord^G2962 Jesus^G2424, that great^G3173 shepherd^G4166 of the sheep^G4263, through^G1722 the blood^G129 of the everlasting^G166 covenant^G1242,

²¹ make you complete in every good work to do his will, working in you that which is well pleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom be the glory forever and ever. Amen.

KJVMake^G2675 you^G5209 perfect^G2675^(G5659) in^G1722 every^G3956 good^G18 work^G2041 to^G1519 do^G4160^(G5658) his^G846 will^G2307, working^G4160^(G5723) in^G1722 you^G5213 that which is wellpleasing^G2101 in his^G846 sight^G1799, through^G1223 Jesus^G2424 Christ^G5547; to whom^G3739 be glory^G1391 for^G1519 ever^G165 and ever^G165. Amen^G281.

²² But I exhort you, brothers, endure the word of exhortation, for I have written to you in few words.

KJVAnd^G1161 I beseech^G3870^(G5719) you^G5209, brethren^G80, suffer^G430^(G5737) the word^G3056 of exhortation^G3874: for^G1063^G2532 I have written a letter^G1989^(G5656) unto you^G5213 in^G1223 few words^G1024.

²³ Know that our brother Timothy has been freed, with whom, if he comes shortly, I will see you.

KJVKnow ye^G1097^(G5719) that our brother^G80 Timothy^G5095 is set at liberty^G630^(G5772); with^G3326 whom^G3739, if^G1437 he come^G2064^(G5741) shortly^G5032, I will see^G3700^(G5695) you^G5209.

²⁴ Greet all of your leaders and all the saints. The Italians greet you.

KJVSalute^G782^(G5663) all^G3956 them that have the rule^G2233^(G5740) over you^G5216, and^G2532 all^G3956 the saints^G40. They of^G575 Italy^G2482 salute^G782^(G5736) you^G5209.

²⁵ Grace be with you all. Amen.

KJVGrace^G5485 be with^G3326 you^G5216 all^G3956. Amen^G281. Written^G1125^(G5648) to^G4314 the Hebrews^G1445 from^G575 Italy^G2482, by^G1223 Timothy^G5095.
