CHAP. XI.

1. What faith is. 6 Without faith we cannot please God. 7 The worthy fruits thereof in the fathers of old time.

TOW faith is the

substance

of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen: 2 For by it the elders obtained a good report.

3 Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.

4 By faith d Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts: and by it he being dead yet speaketh.

5 By faith Enoch was translated, that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God.

6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. 7 By faith & Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by the which he condemned the world, and became heir of ithe righteousness which is by faith.

8 By faith Abraham, when he was called to go out into a place Ge. 12. 8. which he should after receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and he went out not knowing whither he

went.

9 By faith he sojourned in the land of promise, as in a strange country, dwelling in tabernacles with Isaac and Jacob, m the heirs with him of the same promise: 10 For he looked for n a city which hath foundations, whose builder and maker is God. 11 Through faith also P Sarah herself received strength to conceive seed, and 7 was delivered of a child when she was past age, because she judged him faithful who had promised.

13 These all died t in faith, " not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of them, and embraced them, and y confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth.

The worthy fruits of faith. 14 For they that say such things declare plainly that they seek a

country.

15 And truly, if they had been mindful of that country from whence they came out, they might have had opportunity to have returned.

16 But now they desire a better country, that is, an heavenly: wherefore God is not ashamed 4 to be called their God: for he hath prepared for them a city.

17 By faith Abraham, when he was tried, offered up Isaac: and he that had received the promises d offered up his only begotten

son,

18 Of whom it was said, That in Isaac shall thy seed be called:

19 Accounting that God was able to raise him up, even from the dead; from whence also he received him in a figure.

20 By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau concerning things to

come.

21 By faith Jacob, when he was a dying, blessed both the sons of Joseph; and worshipped, leaning upon the top of his staff.

22 By faith Joseph, when he died, made mention of the departing of the children of Israel; and gave commandment concerning his bones.

23 By faith Moses, when he was born, was hid three months of his parents, because they saw he wus a proper child; and they were not afraid of the king's m command

28 Through faith he kept the passover, and the sprinkling of blood, lest he that destroyed the first-born should touch them.

29 By faith "they passed through the Red sea as by dry land: which the Egyptians assaying to do were drowned.

30 By faith the walls of Jericho fell down, after they were compassed about seven days.

31 By faith the harlot Rahab perished not with them that befieved not, when she had received the spies with peace.

32 And what shall I more say? for the time would fail me to tell 217

36 And others had trial of cruel mockings and scourgings, yea, moreover of bonds and impris-m

onment:

37 They were stoned, they were sawn asunder, were tempted, were slain with the sword: they wandered about in sheep-skins, and goat-skins; being destitute, afficted, tormented;

38 (Of whom the world was not worthy:) they wandered in deserts, and in mountains, and u in dens and caves of the earth.

39 And these all, having obtained a good report through faith, received not the promise: 40 God having provided some better thing for us, that they without us should not be made perfect.

CHAP. XII.

1 An exhortation to constant faith, patience, and godliness. 22 A commendation of the new testament above the old.

WHEREFORE, seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, a let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, au

2 Looking unto Jesus the thor and finisher of our faith; d who, for the joy that was set before him, endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.

3 For consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, & lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds. 4h Ye have not yet resisted unto blood, striving against sin.

5 And ye have forgotten the exhortation which speaketh unto you as unto children, i My son, despise not thou the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when thou art rebuked of him:

6 For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth.

dealeth with you as with sons. for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not?

8 But if ye be without chastisement, m whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons. 9 Furthermore, we have had fathers of our flesh which corrected us, and we gave them reverence. shall we not much rather he in subjection unto "the Father of spirits, and live?

10 For they verily for a few days chastened us after their own pleasure; but he for our profit, that we might be partakers of his holiness.

11 Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless, afterward it yieldeth Pthe peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby.

12 Wherefore 7 lift up the hands which hang down, and the feeble knees;

13 And make straight paths for your feet, lest that which is lame be turned out of the way; s but let it rather be healed.

14 Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord:

15 Looking diligently, lest any man I fail of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up, trouble you, and thereby many be defiled;

16 a Lest there be any fornicator, or profane person, as Esau, who for one morsel of meat sold his birthright.

17 For ye know how that afterward, when he would have inherited the blessing, he was re-. jected: d for he found no place of repentance, though he sought it carefully with tears.

18 For ye are not come unto the mount that might be touched, and that burned with fire, nor unto blackness, and darkness, and tempest,

19 And the sound of a trumpet, and the voice of words; which voice they that heard, entreated that the word should not be spoken to them any more: 20 (For they could not endure thai which was commanded, And if so much as a beast touch the mountain, it shall be stoned, or thrust through with a dart:

21 h And so terrible was the sight, that Moses said, I exceedingly fear and quake :)

22 But ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerat le company of angels,

23 To the general assembly and church of the first-born, " which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men inade perfect.

Divers godly admonitions.

24 And to Jesus the Mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel.

25 See that ye refuse not him that speaketh. For if they escaped not who refused him that spake on earth, much more shall not we escape, if we turn away from him that speaketh from heaven:

26 Whose voice then shook the earth but now he hath promised, saying, Yet once more I shake not the earth only, but also heaven.

27 And this word, Yet once more, signifieth the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that are made, that those things which cannot be shaken may remain.

28 Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably, with reverence and godly fear;

29 For our God is a consuming fire.

CHAP. XIII.

1 Divers admonitions, as to charity, 4 to honest life, 5 to avoid covetousness, 7 to regard God's preachers, 9 to take heed of strange doctrines, 10 to confess Christ, 16 to give alms, 17 to obey governors, 18 to pray for the apostle. 20 The conclusion.

3d Remember them that are in bonds, as bound with them; and them which suffer adversity, as being yourselves also in the body, 4 Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge.

5 Let your conversation be without covetousness; and f be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.

6 So that we may boldly say, & The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me.

CHAP. I.

1 We are to rejoice under the cross, 5 to ask patience of God, 13 and in our trials not to impute our weakness, or sins, unto him, 19 but rather to hearken to the word, to meditate in it, and to do thereafter. 26 Otherwise men may seem, but never be truly religious.

JAMES, ba servant of God and

of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes d which are scattered abroad, greeting.

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

35 Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience. 4 But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.

5 hIf any of you lack wisdom, ilet him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given

him.

6 But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driver with the wind and tossed. 7 For let not that man think

12 Biessed 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.

13 Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for Ged cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man: 14 But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed.

15 Then,when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin; and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.

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

20 For the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God. 21 Wherefored lay apart all filthiness, and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the ingrafted 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 beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was.

25 But whoso looketh into the perfect ilaw 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.

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

CHAP. II.

1 It is not agreeable to Christian profession to regard the rich, and to despise the poor brethren: 13 rather we are to be loving, and merciful: 14 and not to boast of faith where no deeds are, 17 which is but a dead faith, 19 the faith of devils, 21 and not of Abraham, 25 and Rahab.

MY Y brethren, have not the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, a the Lord of glory, with respect of persons.

2 For if there come unto your assembly, a man with a gold ring, in goodly apparel, and there come in also a poor man in vile raiment;

3 And ye have respect to him that weareth the gay clothing,

of faith without works.

and say unto him, Sit thou here in a good place; and say to the poor, Stand thou there, or sit here under my footstool:

4 Are ye not then partial in yourselves, and are become judges of evil thoughts?

5 Hearken, my beloved brethren, e Hath not God chosen the poor of this world drich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which he hath promised to them that loved him?

6 But fye have despised the poor. Do not rich men oppress you, and draw you before the judgment-seats?

7 Do not they blaspheme that worthy name by the which ye are called?

8 If ye fulfil the royal law according to the scripture. Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself, ye do well:

9 But if ye have respect to persons, ye commit sin, and are convinced of the law as transgressors.

10 For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all.

11 For he that said, 'Do not commit adultery; said also, Do net kill. Now, if thou commit no adultery, yet if thou kill, thou art become a transgressor of the law.

12 So speak ye, and so do, as they that shall be judged by m the law of liberty.

19 Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble. 20 But wilt thou know, O vaint man, that faith without works is dead?

21 Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar ?

22 Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect?

5 Even so the tongue is a little member, and boasteth great things. Behold, how great la matter a little fire kindleth!

6 And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity: so is the tongue among our members, that it defileth the whole body, and setteth on fire the t course of pature; and it is set on fire of hell. 7 For every kind of beasts, and of birds, and of serpents, and of things in the sea, is tamed, and hath been tamed, of † mankind: 8 But the tongue can no man tame; it is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison.

9 Therewith bless we God, even the Father; and therewith curse we men, m'which are made after the similitude of God.

10 Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought.
