1. 雅各书 (James) 1:2~4 Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds,
because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete,
not lacking anything.
我的弟兄们,你们落在百般试炼中,都要以为大喜乐。因为知道你们的信心经过试验就生忍耐。 但忍耐也当成功,使你们成全完备,毫无缺欠。
2. 雅各书 (James) 1:12 Blessed 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.
忍受试探的人是有福的。因为他经过试验以后,必得生命的冠冕,这是主应许给那些爱衪之人的。
3. 雅各书 (James) 1:17~18 Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not
change like shifting shadows. He chose to give us birth through the word of truth, that we might be a kind of
first fruits of all he created.
各样美善的恩赐,和各样全备的赏赐,都是从上头来的。从众光之父那里降下来的。在衪并没有改变, 也没有转动的影儿。衪按自己的旨意,用真道生了我们,叫我们在衪所造的万物中,好像初熟的果子。
4. 雅各书 (James) 1:22~23 Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says. Anyone who listens to the word
but does not do what it says is like a man who looks at his face in a mirror.
只是你们要行道,不要单单听道,自己欺哄自己。因为听道而不行道的,就像人对着镜子看自己本来的面目。
5. 雅各书 (James) 1:26 If anyone considers himself religious and yet does not keep a tight rein on his tongue, he deceives himself and
his religion is worthless.
若有人自以为虔诚,却不勒住他的舌头,反欺哄自己的心,这人的虔诚是虚的。
6. 雅各书 (James) 2:5 Listen, my dear brothers: Has not God chosen those who are poor in the eyes of the world to be rich in faith
and to inherit the kingdom he promised those who love him?
我亲爱的弟兄们请听,神岂不是拣选了世上的贫穷人,叫他们在信上富足,并承受衪所应许给那些爱衪之人的国吗?
7. 雅各书 (James) 2:8~9 If you really keep the royal law found in Scripture, "Love your neighbor as yourself," you are doing right.
But if you show favoritism, you sin and are convicted by the law as lawbreakers.
经上记着说,要爱人如己。你们若全守这至尊的律法才是好的。但你们若按外貌待人,便是犯罪,被律法定为犯法的。
