James 1:2-12

Jubilee Bible 2000 JUB

New International Version NIV

2 My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into diverse trials,

2 Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds,

3 knowing that the proving of your faith works patience,

3 because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance.

4 and the patience finishes the work, that ye may be perfect and entire, not lacking in anything.

4 Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.

5 And if any of you lacks wisdom, let them ask of God (who gives abundantly to all, and without reproach), and it shall be given them.

5 If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you.

6 But ask in faith, not doubting anything. For he that doubts is like the wave of the sea which is driven of the wind and is tossed from one side to another.

6 But when you ask, you must believe and not doubt, because the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind.

7 For let not such a man think that he shall receive anything of the Lord.

7 That person should not expect to receive anything from the Lord.

8 The double minded man is unstable in all his ways.

8 Such a person is double-minded and unstable in all they do.

9 Let the brother of low degree rejoice in his high status;

9 Believers in humble circumstances ought to take pride in their high position.

10 and he who is rich, in his low status, because as the flower of the grass he shall pass away.

10 But the rich should take pride in their humiliation—since they will pass away like a wild flower.

11 For the sun is no sooner risen with a burning heat, but it withers the grass, and its flower falls, and the beautiful appearance of it perishes: so also shall the rich man fade away in his ways.

11 For the sun rises with scorching heat and withers the plant; its blossom falls and its beauty is destroyed. In the same way, the rich will fade away even while they go about their business.

12 Blessed is the man that patiently endures temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord has promised to those that love him.

12 Blessed is the one who perseveres under trial because, having stood the test, that person will receive the crown of life that the Lord has promised to those who love him.
