¹ YA`AQOV, a servant of Elohiym and of the Adonai Yahusha Ha'Mashiach, to the twelve tribes which are scattered abroad, greeting.

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

³ Knowing this, that the trying of your faith works patience.

⁴ But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.

⁵ If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of Elohiym, that gives to all men liberally, and upbraids not; and it shall be given him.

⁶ But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavers is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed.

⁷ For let not that man think that he shall receive anything of Yahuah.

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

⁹ Let the brother of low degree rejoice in that he is exalted:

¹⁰ But the rich, in that he is made low: because as the flower of the grass he shall pass away.

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

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

¹³ Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of Elohiym: for Elohiym cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempts he any man:

¹⁴ But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed.

¹⁵ Then when lust has conceived, it brings forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, brings forth death.

¹⁶ Do not err, my beloved brethren.

¹⁷ Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.

¹⁸ Of his own will begat he us with the Word of Truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures.

¹⁹ Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath:

²⁰ For the wrath of man works not the righteousness of Elohiym.

²¹ Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and abundance of wickedness, and receive with meekness the engrafted Word, which is able to save your souls.

²² But be ye doers of the Word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.

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:

²⁴ For he beholds himself, and goes his way, and straightway forgets what manner of man he was.

²⁵ But whoso looks into the perfect Torah of liberty, and continues therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.

²⁶ If any man among you seem to be observant, and bridles not his tongue, but deceives his own heart, this man's observance is vain.

²⁷ Pure observance and undefiled before Elohiym and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.
