| 5 | If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. | H · G · S lack wisdom |
| 6 | But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. | H · G · S nothing wavering |
| 7 | For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord. | H · G · S |

| 9 | Let the brother of low degree rejoice in that he is exalted: | H · G · S |
| 10 | But the rich, in that he is made low: because as the flower of the grass he shall pass away. | H · G · S |
| 11 | For the sun is no sooner risen
with a burning heat, but it withereth the grass, and the flower thereof
falleth, and the grace of the fashion of it perisheth: so also shall
the rich man fade away in his ways. |

Temptation Explained12-15 |
||
| 12 | Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him. | H · G · S blessed temptation crown of life |
| 13 | Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man: | H · G · S God cannot be tempted |
| 14 | But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed. | H · G · S |
| 15 | Then when lust hath
conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished,
bringeth forth death. |
H · G · S finished death |

| 17 | Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning. | H · G · S Father of lights no variableness shadow of turning from above |
| 18 | Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth,
that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures.
|
H · G · S word of truth firstfruits |
| 19 | Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath: | H · G · S swift to hear slow to speak |
| 20 | For the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God. | H · G · S |
| 21 | Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls. | H · G · S superfluity of naughtiness engrafted |
| 22 | But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves. | H · G · S doers |
| 23 | For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass: | H · G · S in a glass |
| 24 | For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was. | H · G · S |
| 25 | But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed. | H · G · S law of liberty Z212 |
| 26 | If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man's religion is vain. | H · G · S seem to be religious |
| 27 | Pure religion and undefiled
before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows
in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.
|
H · G · S Pure religion |
