1ιακωβοσ θεου και κυριου ιησου χριστου δουλοσ ταισ δωδεκα φυλαισ ταισ εν τη διασπορα χαιρειν
1James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, To the twelve tribes of the Dispersion: Greetings.
2πασαν χαραν ηγησασθε αδελφοι μου οταν πειρασμοισ περιπεσητε ποικιλοισ
2Consider it pure joy, my brothers, when you encounter trials of many kinds,
3γινωσκοντεσ οτι το δοκιμιον υμων τησ πιστεωσ κατεργαζεται υπομονην
3because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance.
4η δε υπομονη εργον τελειον εχετω ινα ητε τελειοι και ολοκληροι εν μηδενι λειπομενοι
4Allow perseverance to finish its work, so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.
5ει δε τισ υμων λειπεται σοφιασ αιτειτω παρα του διδοντοσ θεου πασιν απλωσ και ουκ ονειδιζοντοσ και δοθησεται αυτω
5Now if any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him.
6αιτειτω δε εν πιστει μηδεν διακρινομενοσ ο γαρ διακρινομενοσ εοικεν κλυδωνι θαλασσησ ανεμιζομενω και ριπιζομενω
6But he must ask in faith, without doubting, because he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind.
7μη γαρ οιεσθω ο ανθρωποσ εκεινοσ οτι ληψεται τι παρα του κυριου
7That man should not expect to receive anything from the Lord.
8ανηρ διψυχοσ ακαταστατοσ εν πασαισ ταισ οδοισ αυτου
8He is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.
9καυχασθω δε ο αδελφοσ ο ταπεινοσ εν τω υψει αυτου
9The brother in humble circumstances should exult in his high position.
10ο δε πλουσιοσ εν τη ταπεινωσει αυτου οτι ωσ ανθοσ χορτου παρελευσεται
10But the one who is rich should exult in his low position, because he will pass away like a flower of the field.
11ανετειλεν γαρ ο ηλιοσ συν τω καυσωνι και εξηρανεν τον χορτον και το ανθοσ αυτου εξεπεσεν και η ευπρεπεια του προσωπου αυτου απωλετο ουτωσ και ο πλουσιοσ εν ταισ πορειαισ αυτου μαρανθησεται
11For the sun rises with scorching heat and withers the plant; its flower falls and its beauty is lost. So too, the rich man will fade away in the midst of his pursuits.
12μακαριοσ ανηρ οσ υπομενει πειρασμον οτι δοκιμοσ γενομενοσ ληψεται τον στεφανον τησ ζωησ ον επηγγειλατο ο κυριοσ τοισ αγαπωσιν αυτον
12Blessed is the man who perseveres under trial, because when he has stood the test, he will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love Him.
13μηδεισ πειραζομενοσ λεγετω οτι απο θεου πειραζομαι ο γαρ θεοσ απειραστοσ εστιν κακων πειραζει δε αυτοσ ουδενα
13When tempted, no one should say, “God is tempting me.” For God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does He tempt anyone.
14εκαστοσ δε πειραζεται υπο τησ ιδιασ επιθυμιασ εξελκομενοσ και δελεαζομενοσ
14But each one is tempted when by his own evil desires he is lured away and enticed.
15ειτα η επιθυμια συλλαβουσα τικτει αμαρτιαν η δε αμαρτια αποτελεσθεισα αποκυει θανατον
15Then after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, gives birth to death.
16μη πλανασθε αδελφοι μου αγαπητοι
16Do not be deceived, my beloved brothers.
17πασα δοσισ αγαθη και παν δωρημα τελειον ανωθεν εστιν καταβαινον απο του πατροσ των φωτων παρ ω ουκ ενι παραλλαγη η τροπησ αποσκιασμα
17Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, with whom there is no change or shifting shadow.
18βουληθεισ απεκυησεν ημασ λογω αληθειασ εισ το ειναι ημασ απαρχην τινα των αυτου κτισματων
18He chose to give us birth through the word of truth, that we would be a kind of firstfruits of His creation.
19ωστε αδελφοι μου αγαπητοι εστω πασ ανθρωποσ ταχυσ εισ το ακουσαι βραδυσ εισ το λαλησαι βραδυσ εισ οργην
19My beloved brothers, understand this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to anger,
20οργη γαρ ανδροσ δικαιοσυνην θεου ου κατεργαζεται
20for man’s anger does not bring about the righteousness that God desires.
21διο αποθεμενοι πασαν ρυπαριαν και περισσειαν κακιασ εν πραυτητι δεξασθε τον εμφυτον λογον τον δυναμενον σωσαι τασ ψυχασ υμων
21Therefore, get rid of all moral filth and every expression of evil, and humbly accept the word planted in you, which can save your souls.
22γινεσθε δε ποιηται λογου και μη μονον ακροαται παραλογιζομενοι εαυτουσ
22Be doers of the word, and not hearers only. Otherwise, you are deceiving yourselves.
23οτι ει τισ ακροατησ λογου εστιν και ου ποιητησ ουτοσ εοικεν ανδρι κατανοουντι το προσωπον τησ γενεσεωσ αυτου εν εσοπτρω
23For anyone who hears the word but does not carry it out is like a man who looks at his face in a mirror,
24κατενοησεν γαρ εαυτον και απεληλυθεν και ευθεωσ επελαθετο οποιοσ ην
24and after observing himself goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like.
25ο δε παρακυψασ εισ νομον τελειον τον τησ ελευθεριασ και παραμεινασ ουτοσ ουκ ακροατησ επιλησμονησ γενομενοσ αλλα ποιητησ εργου ουτοσ μακαριοσ εν τη ποιησει αυτου εσται
25But the one who looks intently into the perfect law of freedom, and continues to do so—not being a forgetful hearer, but an effective doer—he will be blessed in what he does.
26ει τισ δοκει θρησκοσ ειναι εν υμιν μη χαλιναγωγων γλωσσαν αυτου αλλα απατων καρδιαν αυτου τουτου ματαιοσ η θρησκεια
26If anyone considers himself religious and yet does not bridle his tongue, he deceives his heart and his religion is worthless.
27θρησκεια καθαρα και αμιαντοσ παρα θεω και πατρι αυτη εστιν επισκεπτεσθαι ορφανουσ και χηρασ εν τη θλιψει αυτων ασπιλον εαυτον τηρειν απο του κοσμου
27Pure and undefiled religion before our God and Father is this: to care for orphans and widows in their distress, and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.
