New Reading - James Chapter 2

Listen to James, Chapter 2

{2:1} My brothers, don't hold the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ of glory with partiality. {2:2} For if a man with a gold ring, in fine clothing, comes into your synagogue, and a poor man in filthy clothing also comes in; {2:3} and you pay special attention to him who wears the fine clothing, and say, "Sit here in a good place;" and you tell the poor man, "Stand there," or "Sit by my footstool;" {2:4} haven't you shown partiality among yourselves, and become judges with evil thoughts? {2:5} Listen, my beloved brothers. Didn't God choose those who are poor in this world to be rich in faith, and heirs of the Kingdom which he promised to those who love him? {2:6} But you have dishonored the poor man. Don't the rich oppress you, and personally drag you before the courts? {2:7} Don't they blaspheme the honorable name by which you are called? {2:8} However, if you fulfill the royal law, according to the Scripture, "You shall love your neighbor as yourself," you do well. {2:9} But if you show partiality, you commit sin, being convicted by the law as transgressors. {2:10} For whoever keeps the whole law, and yet stumbles in one point, he has become guilty of all. {2:11} For he who said, "Do not commit adultery," also said, "Do not commit murder." Now if you do not commit adultery, but murder, you have become a transgressor of the law. {2:12} So speak, and so do, as men who are to be judged by a law of freedom. {2:13} For judgment is without mercy to him who has shown no mercy. Mercy triumphs over judgment.

{2:14} What good is it, my brothers, if a man says he has faith, but has no works? Can faith save him? {2:15} And if a brother or sister is naked and in lack of daily food, {2:16} and one of you tells them, "Go in peace, be warmed and filled;" and yet you didn't give them the things the body needs, what good is it? {2:17} Even so faith, if it has no works, is dead in itself. {2:18} Yes, a man will say, "You have faith, and I have works." Show me your faith without works, and I by my works will show you my faith.

{2:19} You believe that God is one. You do well. The demons also believe, and shudder. {2:20} But do you want to know, vain man, that faith apart from works is dead? {2:21} Wasn't Abraham our father justified by works, in that he offered up Isaac his son on the altar? {2:22} You see that faith worked with his works, and by works faith was perfected; {2:23} and the Scripture was fulfilled which says, "Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him as righteousness;" and he was called the friend of God. {2:24} You see then that by works, a man is justified, and not only by faith. {2:25} In the same way, wasn't Rahab the prostitute also justified by works, in that she received the messengers, and sent them out another way? {2:26} For as the body apart from the spirit is dead, even so faith apart from works is dead.

NEW Reading - James Chapter 1

Listen to James, Chapter 1

{1:1} James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which are in the Dispersion: Greetings. {1:2} Count it all joy, my brothers, when you fall into various temptations, {1:3} knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance. {1:4} Let endurance have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing. {1:5} 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. {1:6} 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. {1:7} For let that man not think that he will receive anything from the Lord. {1:8} He is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.

{1:9} But let the brother in humble circumstances glory in his high position; {1:10} and the rich, in that he is made humble, because like the flower in the grass, he will pass away. {1:11} 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 also will the rich man fade away in his pursuits.

{1:12} Blessed is the man 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. {1:13} 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. {1:14} But each one is tempted, when he is drawn away by his own lust, and enticed. {1:15} Then the lust, when it has conceived, bears sin; and the sin, when it is full grown, brings forth death. {1:16} Don't be deceived, my beloved brothers. {1:17}
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. {1:18} Of his own will he brought us forth by the word of truth, that we should be a kind of first fruits of his creatures.

{1:19} So, then, my beloved brothers, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, and slow to anger; {1:20} for the anger of man doesn't produce the righteousness of God. {1:21} Therefore, putting away all filthiness and overflowing of wickedness, receive with humility the implanted word, which is able to save your souls. {1:22} But be doers of the word, and not only hearers, deluding your own selves. {1:23} 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; {1:24} for he sees himself, and goes away, and immediately forgets what kind of man he was. {1:25} 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.

{1:26} 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. {1:27} 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.

Thus says the Lord Yahweh: For this, moreover, will I be inquired of. {Ezekiel 36:37}

You don't have, because you don't ask. {James 4:2}

"Ask, and it will be given you. Seek, and you will find. Knock, and it will be opened for you. For everyone who asks receives. He who seeks finds. To him who knocks it will be opened." {Matthew 7:7, 8} This is the boldness which we have toward him, that, if we ask anything according to his will, he listens to us. And if we know that he listens to us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions which we have asked of him. {1 John 5:14, 15} 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. {James 1:5} Open your mouth wide, and I will fill it. {Psalms 81:10} (You) must always pray, and not give up. {Luke 18:1}

Yahweh's eyes are toward the righteous. His ears listen to their cry. The righteous cry, and Yahweh hears, and delivers them out of all their troubles.{Psalms 34:15, 17} You will ask in my name; and I don't say to you, that I will pray to the Father for you, for the Father himself loves you, because you have loved me ... Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be made full. {John 16:26, 27, 24}

The blood of sprinkling that speaks better than that of Abel. {Hebrews 12:24}

"Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world! {John 1:29} From the foundation of the world ... the Lamb who has been killed. {Revelation 13:8} It is impossible that the blood of bulls and goats should take away sins. Therefore when he comes into the world, he says, "Sacrifice and offering you didn't desire, but you prepared a body for me. By which will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. {Hebrews 10:4, 5, 10} Abel also brought some of the firstborn of his flock and of its fat. Yahweh respected Abel and his offering. {Genesis 4:4} Christ ... loved you, and gave himself up for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling fragrance. {Ephesians 5:2}

Let's draw near with a true heart in fullness of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and having our body washed with pure water. {Hebrews 10:22} Having ... boldness to enter into the holy place by the blood of Jesus. {Hebrews 10:19}

The day of the trial in the wilderness. {Hebrews 3:8}

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. But each one is tempted, when he is drawn away by his own lust, and enticed. Then the lust, when it has conceived, bears sin. {James 1:13-15}

They gave in to craving in the desert, and tested God in the wasteland. {Psalms 106:14}

Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan, and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness for forty days, being tempted by the devil. He ate nothing in those days. Afterward, when they were completed, he was hungry. The devil said to him, "If you are the Son of God, command this stone to become bread." {Luke 4:1-3}

He himself has suffered being tempted, he is able to help those who are tempted. {Hebrews 2:18} "Simon, Simon, behold, Satan asked to have you, that he might sift you as wheat, but I prayed for you, that your faith wouldn't fail." {Luke 22:31,32}

Dead in transgressions and sins; by nature children of wrath, even as the rest. {Ephesians 2:1, 3} I am fleshly, sold under sin. For I don't know what I am doing. For I don't practice what I desire to do; but what I hate, that I do. For I know that in me, that is, in my flesh, dwells no good thing. {Romans 7:14, 15, 18}

Sin entered into the world through one man ... through the one man's disobedience many were made sinners. {Romans 5:12, 19} If by the trespass of the one the many died, much more did the grace of God, and the gift by the grace of the one man, Jesus Christ, abound to the many. {Romans 5:15}

The law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus made me free from the law of sin and of death. {Romans 8:2}

Who can say, "I have made my heart pure. I am clean and without sin?" {Proverbs 20:9}

Yahweh looked down from heaven on the children of men, to see if there were any who understood, who sought after God. They have all gone aside. They have together become corrupt. There is none who does good, no, not one. {Psalm 14:2, 3} Those who are in the flesh can't please God. {Romans 8:8}

For desire is present with me, but I don't find it doing that which is good. For the good which I desire, I don't do; but the evil which I don't desire, that I practice. {Romans 7:18, 19} For we have all become as one who is unclean, and all our righteousness is as a polluted garment: and we all fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, take us away. {Isaiah 64:6}

That in the ages to come he might show the exceeding riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus; for by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, that no one would boast. {Ephesians 2:7-9} Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law but through faith in Jesus Christ, even we believed in Christ Jesus, that we might be justified by faith in Christ, and not by the works of the law, because no flesh will be justified by the works of the law. {Galatians 2:16} According to his mercy, he saved us, through the washing of regeneration and renewing by the Holy Spirit, whom he poured out on us richly, through Jesus Christ our Savior. {Titus 3:5, 6}

Whom not having known you love. {1 Peter 1:8}

We walk by faith, not by sight. {2 Cor. 5:7} We love him, because he first loved us. {1 John 4:19} We know and have believed the love which God has for us. God is love, and he who remains in love remains in God, and God remains in him. {1 John 4:16} In whom you also, having heard the word of the truth, the Good News of your salvation--in whom, having also believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise. {Eph. 1:13} God was pleased to make known what are the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory. {Col. 1:27}

If a man says, "I love God," and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who doesn't love his brother whom he has seen, how can he love God whom he has not seen? {1 John 4:20}

Jesus said to him, "Because you have seen me, you have believed. Blessed are those who have not seen, and have believed." {John 20:29} Blessed are all those who take refuge in him. {Psalm 2:12}

Let us run with patience the race that is set before us, looking to Jesus, the author and perfecter of faith. {Hebrews 12:1, 2}

If anyone desires to come after me, let him deny himself, take up his cross, and follow me. {Luke 9:23} Whoever of you who doesn't renounce all that he has, he can't be my disciple. {Luke 14:33} Let's therefore throw off the works of darkness. {Romans 13:12}

Every man who strives in the games exercises self-control in all things. Now they do it to receive a corruptible crown, but we an incorruptible. I therefore run like that, as not uncertainly. I fight like that, as not beating the air, but I beat my body and bring it into submission, lest by any means, after I have preached to others, I myself should be rejected. {1 Cor. 9:25-27} Brothers, I don't regard myself as yet having taken hold, but one thing I do. Forgetting the things which are behind, and stretching forward to the things which are before, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. {Phil 3:13, 14} Let us acknowledge Yahweh. Let us press on to know Yahweh. {Hosea 6:3}

As your days, so your strength will be. {Deut. 33:25}

When they lead you away and deliver you up, don't be anxious beforehand, or premeditate what you will say, but say whatever will be given you in that hour. For it is not you who speak, but the Holy Spirit. {Mark 13:11}

Therefore don't be anxious for tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Each day's own evil is sufficient. {Matthew 6:34}

The God of Israel gives strength and power to his people. Praise be to God! {Psalm 68:35} He gives power to the weak. He increases the strength of him who has no might. {Isaiah 40:29}


My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore I will rather glory in my weaknesses, that the power of Christ may rest on me. Therefore I take pleasure in weaknesses, in injuries, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses, for Christ's sake. For when I am weak, then am I strong. {2 Cor. 12:9, 10} I can do all things through Christ, who strengthens me. {Phil. 4:13} My soul, march on with strength. {Judges 5:21}
