My brethren; count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations;
1:3因为知道你们的信心经过试验就生忍耐。
Knowing this; that the trying of your faith worketh patience。
1:4但忍耐也当成功,使你们成全完备,毫无缺欠。
But let patience have her perfect work; that ye may be perfect and entire; wanting nothing。
1:5你们中间若有缺少智慧的,应当求那厚赐与众人,也不斥责人的神,主就必赐给他。
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。
1:6只要凭着信心求,一点不疑惑。因为那疑惑的人,就像海中的波浪,被风吹动翻腾。
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。
1:7这样的人,不要想从主那里得什么。
For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord。
1:8心怀二意的人,在他一切所行的路上,都没有定见。
A double minded man is unstable in all his ways。
1:9卑微的弟兄升高,就该喜乐。
Let the brother of low degree rejoice in that he is exalted:
1:10富足的降卑,也该如此。因为他必要过去,如同草上的花一样。
But the rich; in that he is made low: because as the flower of the grass he shall pass away。
1:11太阳出来,热风刮起,草就枯乾,花也凋谢,美容就消没了。那富足的人,在他所行的事上,也要这样衰残。
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。
1:12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他之人的。
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。
1:13人被试探,不可说,我是被神试探。因为神不能被恶试探,他也不试探人。
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:
1:14但各人被试探,乃是被自己的私欲牵引诱惑的。
But every man is tempted; when he is drawn away of his own lust; and enticed。
1:15私欲既怀了胎,就生出罪来。罪既长成,就生出死来。
Then when lust hath conceived; it bringeth forth sin: and sin; when it is finished; bringeth forth death。
1:16我亲爱的弟兄们,不要看错了。
Do not err; my beloved brethren。
1:17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。在他并没有改变,也没有转动的影儿。
Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above; and eth down from the Father of lights; with whom is no variableness; neither shadow of turning。
1:18他按自己的旨意,用真道生了我们,叫我们在他所造的万物中,好像初熟的果子。
Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth; that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures。
1:19我亲爱的弟兄们,这是你们所知道的。但你们各人要快快的听,慢慢的说,慢慢的动怒。
Wherefore; my beloved brethren; let every man be swift to hear; slow to speak; slow to wrath:
1:20因为人的怒气,并不成就神的义。
For the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God。
1:21所以你们要脱去一切的污秽,和盈馀的邪恶,存温柔的心领受那所栽种的道,就是能救你们灵魂的道。
Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness; and receive with meekness the engrafted word; which is able to save your souls。
1:22只是你们要行道,不要单单听道,自己欺哄自己。
But be ye doers of the word; and not hearers only; deceiving your own selves。
1:23因为听道而不行道的,就像人对着镜子看自己本来的面目。
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:
1:24看见,走后,随即忘了他的相貌如何。
For he beholdeth himself; and goeth his way; and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was。
1:25惟有那详细察看那全备使人自由之律法的,并且时常如此,这人既不是听了就忘,乃是实在行出来,就在他所行的事上必然得福。
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。
1:26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。
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。
1:27在神我们的父面前,那清洁没有玷污的虔诚,就是看雇在患难中的孤儿寡妇,并且保守自己不沾染世俗。
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。
新约 雅各书(James) 第 2 章 ( 本篇共有 5 章 ) 7上一章 下一章8 目录
2:1我的弟兄们,你们信奉我们荣耀的主耶稣基督,便不可按着外貌待人。
My brethren; have not the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ; the Lord of glory; with respect of persons。
2:2若有一个人带着金戒指,穿着华美衣服,进你们的会堂去。又有一个穷人,穿着肮脏衣服也进去。
For if there e unto your assembly a man with a gold ring; in goodly apparel; and there e in also a poor man in vile raiment;
2:3你们就重看那穿华美衣服的人,说,请坐在这好位上。又对那穷人说,你站在那里,或坐在我脚凳下边。
And ye have respect to him that weareth the gay clothing; 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:
2:4这岂不是你们用偏心待人,用恶意断定人吗。
Are ye not then partial in yourselves; and are bee judges of evil thoughts?
2:5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,并承受他所应许给那些爱他之人的国吗。
Hearken; my beloved brethren; Hath not God chosen the poor of this world rich in faith; and heirs of the kingdom which he hath promised to them that love him?
2:6你们反倒羞辱贫穷人。那富足人岂不是欺压你们,拉你们到公堂去吗。
But ye have despised the poor。 Do not rich men oppress you; and draw you before the judgment seats?
2:7他们不是亵渎你们所敬奉的尊名吗。(所敬奉或作被称)
Do not they blaspheme that worthy name by the which ye are called?
2:8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。
If ye fulfil the royal law according to the scripture; Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself; ye do well:
2:9但你们若按外貌待人,便是犯罪,被律法定为犯法的。
But if ye have respect to persons; ye mit sin; and are convinced of the law as transgressors。
2:10因为凡遵守全律法的,只在一条上跌倒,他就是犯了众条。
For whosoever shall keep the whole law; and yet offend in one point; he is guilty of all。
2:11原来那说不可奸淫的,也说不可杀人。你就是不奸淫,却杀人,仍是成了犯律法的。
For he that said; Do not mit adultery; said also; Do not kill。 Now if thou mit no adultery; yet if thou kill; thou art bee a transgressor of the law。
2:12你们既然要按使人自由的律法受审判,就该照这律法说话行事。
So speak ye; and so do; as they that shall be judged by the law of liberty。
2:13因为那不怜悯人的,也要受无怜悯的审判。怜悯原是向审判夸胜。
For he shall have judgment without mercy; that hath shewed no mercy; and mercy rejoiceth against judgment。
2:14我的弟兄们,若有人说,自己有信心,却没有行为,有什么益处呢。这信心能救他吗。
What doth it profit; my brethren; though a man say he hath faith; and have not works? can faith save him?
2:15若是弟兄,或是姐妹,赤身露体,又缺了日用的饮食,
If a brother or sister be naked; and destitute of daily food;
2:16你们中间有人对他们说,平平安安的去吧,愿你们穿得暖吃得饱。却不给他们身体所需用的,这有什么益处呢。
And one of you say unto them; Depart in peace; be ye warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the body; what doth it profit?
2:17这样信心若没有行为就是死的。
Even so faith; if it hath not works; is dead; being alone。
2:18必有人说,你有信心,我有行为。你将你没有行为的信心指给我看,我便藉着我的行为,将我的信心指给你看。
Yea; a man may say; Thou hast faith; and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works; and I will shew thee my faith by my works。
2:19你信神只有一位,你信的不错。鬼魔也信,却是战兢。
Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe; and tremble。
2:20虚浮的人哪,你愿意知道没有行为的信心是死的吗。
But wilt thou know; O vain man; that faith without works is dead?
2:21我们的祖宗亚伯拉罕,把他儿子以撒献在坛上,岂不是因行为称义吗。
Was not Abraham our father justified by works; when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar?
2:22可见信心是与他的行为并行,而且信心因着
