本日經文提要 (雅各書 3:1~5:20)
雅3:1我的弟兄們，不要多人作師傅，因為曉得我們要受更重的判斷。
雅3:2原來我們在許多事上都有過失，若有人在話語上沒有過失，他就是完全人，也能勒住自己的全身。
雅3:3我們若把嚼環放在馬嘴裡，叫他順服，就能調動他的全身。
雅3:4看哪，船隻雖然甚大，又被大風催逼，只用小小的舵，就隨著掌舵的意思轉動。
雅3:5這樣，舌頭在百體裡也是最小的，卻能說大話。看哪，最小的火，能點最大的樹林。
雅3:6舌頭就是火，在我們百體中，舌頭是個罪惡的世界，能污穢全身，也能把生命的輪子點起來，並且是從地獄裡點著的。
雅3:7各類的走獸，飛禽，昆蟲，水族，本來都可以制伏，也已經被人制伏了。
雅3:8惟獨舌頭沒有人能制伏，是不止息的惡物，滿了害死人的毒氣。
雅3:9我們用舌頭頌讚那為主為父的，又用舌頭咒詛那照著神形像被造的人。
雅3:10頌讚和咒詛從一個口裡出來，我的弟兄們，這是不應當的。
雅3:11泉源從一個眼裡能發出甜苦兩樣的水麼。
雅3:12我的弟兄們，無花果樹能生橄欖麼，葡萄樹能結無花果麼，鹹水裡也不能發出甜水來。
雅3:13你們中間誰是有智慧有見識的呢，他就當在智慧的溫柔上，顯出他的善行來。
雅3:14你們心裡若懷著苦毒的嫉妒和分爭，就不可自誇，也不可說謊話抵擋真道。
雅3:15這樣的智慧，不是從上頭來的，乃是屬地的，屬情慾的，屬鬼魔的。
雅3:16在何處有嫉妒分爭，就在何處有擾亂，和各樣的壞事。
雅3:17惟獨從上頭來的智慧，先是清潔，後是和平，溫良柔順，滿有憐憫，多結善果，沒有偏見，沒有假冒。
雅3:18並且使人和平的，是用和平所栽種的義果。
雅3:3我們若把嚼環放在馬嘴裡，叫他順服，就能調動他的全身。
雅3:4看哪，船隻雖然甚大，又被大風催逼，只用小小的舵，就隨著掌舵的意思轉動。
雅3:5這樣，舌頭在百體裡也是最小的，卻能說大話。看哪，最小的火，能點最大的樹林。
雅3:6舌頭就是火，在我們百體中，舌頭是個罪惡的世界，能污穢全身，也能把生命的輪子點起來，並且是從地獄裡點著的。
雅3:7各類的走獸，飛禽，昆蟲，水族，本來都可以制伏，也已經被人制伏了。
雅3:8惟獨舌頭沒有人能制伏，是不止息的惡物，滿了害死人的毒氣。
雅3:9我們用舌頭頌讚那為主為父的，又用舌頭咒詛那照著神形像被造的人。
雅3:10頌讚和咒詛從一個口裡出來，我的弟兄們，這是不應當的。
雅3:11泉源從一個眼裡能發出甜苦兩樣的水麼。
雅3:12我的弟兄們，無花果樹能生橄欖麼，葡萄樹能結無花果麼，鹹水裡也不能發出甜水來。
雅3:13你們中間誰是有智慧有見識的呢，他就當在智慧的溫柔上，顯出他的善行來。
雅3:14你們心裡若懷著苦毒的嫉妒和分爭，就不可自誇，也不可說謊話抵擋真道。
雅3:15這樣的智慧，不是從上頭來的，乃是屬地的，屬情慾的，屬鬼魔的。
雅3:16在何處有嫉妒分爭，就在何處有擾亂，和各樣的壞事。
雅3:17惟獨從上頭來的智慧，先是清潔，後是和平，溫良柔順，滿有憐憫，多結善果，沒有偏見，沒有假冒。
雅3:18並且使人和平的，是用和平所栽種的義果。
雅4:1你們中間的爭戰鬥毆，是從那裡來的呢，不是從你們百體中戰鬥之私慾來的麼。
雅4:2你們貪戀，還是得不著，你們殺害嫉妒，又鬥毆爭戰，也不能得，你們得不著，是因為你們不求。
雅4:3你們求也得不著，是因為你們妄求，要浪費在你們的宴樂中。
雅4:4你們這些淫亂的人哪，〔淫亂的人原文作淫婦〕豈不知與世俗為友，就是與神為敵麼，所以凡想要與世俗為友的，就是與神為敵了。
雅4:5你們想經上所說是徒然的麼，神所賜住在我們裡面的靈，是戀愛至於嫉妒麼。
雅4:6但他賜更多的恩典，所以經上說：『神阻擋驕傲的人，賜恩給謙卑的人。』
雅4:7故此你們要順服神，務要抵擋魔鬼，魔鬼就必離開你們逃跑了。
雅4:8你們親近神，神就必親近你們。有罪的人哪，要潔淨你們的手。心懷二意的人哪，要清潔你們的心。
雅4:9你們要愁苦，悲哀，哭泣，將喜笑變作悲哀，歡樂變作愁悶。
雅4:10務要在主面前自卑，主就必叫你們升高。
雅4:11弟兄們，你們不可彼此批評，人若批評弟兄，論斷弟兄，就是批評律法，論斷律法，你若論斷律法，就不是遵行律法，乃是判斷人的。
雅4:12設立律法和判斷人的，只有一位，就是那能救人也能滅人的，你是誰，竟敢論斷別人呢。
雅4:13嗐，你們有話說：今天明天我們要往某城裡去，在那裡住一年，作買賣得利。
雅4:14其實明天如何，你們還不知道。你們的生命是甚麼呢，你們原來是一片雲霧，出現少時就不見了。
雅4:15你們只當說：主若願意，我們就可以活著，也可以作這事，或作那事。
雅4:16現今你們竟以張狂誇口，凡這樣誇口都是惡的。
雅4:17人若知道行善，卻不去行，這就是他的罪了。
雅4:2你們貪戀，還是得不著，你們殺害嫉妒，又鬥毆爭戰，也不能得，你們得不著，是因為你們不求。
雅4:3你們求也得不著，是因為你們妄求，要浪費在你們的宴樂中。
雅4:4你們這些淫亂的人哪，〔淫亂的人原文作淫婦〕豈不知與世俗為友，就是與神為敵麼，所以凡想要與世俗為友的，就是與神為敵了。
雅4:5你們想經上所說是徒然的麼，神所賜住在我們裡面的靈，是戀愛至於嫉妒麼。
雅4:6但他賜更多的恩典，所以經上說：『神阻擋驕傲的人，賜恩給謙卑的人。』
雅4:7故此你們要順服神，務要抵擋魔鬼，魔鬼就必離開你們逃跑了。
雅4:8你們親近神，神就必親近你們。有罪的人哪，要潔淨你們的手。心懷二意的人哪，要清潔你們的心。
雅4:9你們要愁苦，悲哀，哭泣，將喜笑變作悲哀，歡樂變作愁悶。
雅4:10務要在主面前自卑，主就必叫你們升高。
雅4:11弟兄們，你們不可彼此批評，人若批評弟兄，論斷弟兄，就是批評律法，論斷律法，你若論斷律法，就不是遵行律法，乃是判斷人的。
雅4:12設立律法和判斷人的，只有一位，就是那能救人也能滅人的，你是誰，竟敢論斷別人呢。
雅4:13嗐，你們有話說：今天明天我們要往某城裡去，在那裡住一年，作買賣得利。
雅4:14其實明天如何，你們還不知道。你們的生命是甚麼呢，你們原來是一片雲霧，出現少時就不見了。
雅4:15你們只當說：主若願意，我們就可以活著，也可以作這事，或作那事。
雅4:16現今你們竟以張狂誇口，凡這樣誇口都是惡的。
雅4:17人若知道行善，卻不去行，這就是他的罪了。
雅5:1嗐，你們這些富足人哪，應當哭泣，號咷，因為將有苦難臨到你們身上。
雅5:2你們的財物壞了，衣服也被蟲子咬了。
雅5:3你們的金銀都長了鏽，那鏽要證明你們的不是，又要吃你們的肉，如同火燒。你們在這末世，只知積儹錢財。
雅5:4工人給你們收割莊稼，你們虧欠他們的工錢，這工錢有聲音呼叫，並且那收割之人的冤聲，已經入了萬軍之主的耳了。
雅5:5你們在世上享美福，好宴樂，當宰殺的日子竟嬌養你們的心。
雅5:6你們定了義人的罪，把他殺害，他也不抵擋你們。
雅5:7弟兄們哪，你們要忍耐，直到主來。看哪，農夫忍耐等候地裡寶貴的出產，直到得了秋雨春雨。
雅5:8你們也當忍耐，堅固你們的心，因為主來的日子近了。
雅5:9弟兄們，你們不要彼此埋怨，免得受審判，看哪，審判的主站在門前了。
雅5:10弟兄們，你們要把那先前奉主名說話的眾先知，當作能受苦能忍耐的榜樣。
雅5:11那先前忍耐的人，我們稱他們是有福的，你們聽見過約伯的忍耐，也知道主給他的結局，明顯主是滿心憐憫，大有慈悲。
雅5:12我的弟兄們，最要緊的是不可起誓，不可指著天起誓，也不可指著地起誓，無論何誓都不可起，你們說話，是就說是，不是就說不是，免得你們落在審判之下。
雅5:13你們中間有受苦的呢，他就該禱告。有喜樂的呢，他就該歌頌。
雅5:14你們中間有病了的呢，他就該請教會的長老來，他們可以奉主的名用油抹他，為他禱告。
雅5:15出於信心的祈禱，要救那病人，主必叫他起來，他若犯了罪，也必蒙赦免。
雅5:16所以你們要彼此認罪，互相代求，使你們可以得醫治。義人祈禱所發的力量，是大有功效的。
雅5:17以利亞與我們是一樣性情的人，他懇切禱告，求不要下雨，雨就三年零六個月不下在地上。
雅5:18他又禱告，天就降下兩來，地也生出土產。
雅5:19我的弟兄們，你們中間若有失迷真道的，有人使他回轉。
雅5:2你們的財物壞了，衣服也被蟲子咬了。
雅5:3你們的金銀都長了鏽，那鏽要證明你們的不是，又要吃你們的肉，如同火燒。你們在這末世，只知積儹錢財。
雅5:4工人給你們收割莊稼，你們虧欠他們的工錢，這工錢有聲音呼叫，並且那收割之人的冤聲，已經入了萬軍之主的耳了。
雅5:5你們在世上享美福，好宴樂，當宰殺的日子竟嬌養你們的心。
雅5:6你們定了義人的罪，把他殺害，他也不抵擋你們。

雅5:19我的弟兄們，你們中間若有失迷真道的，有人使他回轉。
雅5:20這人該知道叫一個罪人從迷路上轉回，便是救一個靈魂不死，並且遮蓋許多的罪。
DEC 13 ,2015-The Journey of Grace (347/365) Jas 3:1~5:20
James 3
Taming the Tongue
3 Not many of you should become teachers, my fellow believers, because you know that we who teach will be judged more strictly. 2 We all stumble in many ways. Anyone who is never at fault in what they say is perfect, able to keep their whole body in check.
3 When we put bits into the mouths of horses to make them obey us, we can turn the whole animal. 4 Or take ships as an example. Although they are so large and are driven by strong winds, they are steered by a very small rudder wherever the pilot wants to go. 5 Likewise, the tongue is a small part of the body, but it makes great boasts. Consider what a great forest is set on fire by a small spark. 6 The tongue also is a fire, a world of evil among the parts of the body. It corrupts the whole body, sets the whole course of one’s life on fire, and is itself set on fire by hell.
7 All kinds of animals, birds, reptiles and sea creatures are being tamed and have been tamed by mankind, 8 but no human being can tame the tongue. It is a restless evil, full of deadly poison.
9 With the tongue we praise our Lord and Father, and with it we curse human beings, who have been made in God’s likeness. 10 Out of the same mouth come praise and cursing. My brothers and sisters, this should not be. 11 Can both fresh water and salt water flow from the same spring? 12 My brothers and sisters, can a fig tree bear olives, or a grapevine bear figs? Neither can a salt spring produce fresh water.
Two Kinds of Wisdom
13 Who is wise and understanding among you? Let them show it by their good life, by deeds done in the humility that comes from wisdom. 14 But if you harbor bitter envy and selfish ambition in your hearts, do not boast about it or deny the truth. 15 Such “wisdom” does not come down from heaven but is earthly, unspiritual, demonic. 16 For where you have envy and selfish ambition, there you find disorder and every evil practice.
17 But the wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all pure; then peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere. 18 Peacemakers who sow in peace reap a harvest of righteousness.
James 4
Submit Yourselves to God
4 What causes fights and quarrels among you? Don’t they come from your desires that battle within you? 2 You desire but do not have, so you kill. You covet but you cannot get what you want, so you quarrel and fight. You do not have because you do not ask God. 3 When you ask, you do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, that you may spend what you get on your pleasures.
4 You adulterous people,[a] don’t you know that friendship with the world means enmity against God? Therefore, anyone who chooses to be a friend of the world becomes an enemy of God. 5 Or do you think Scripture says without reason that he jealously longs for the spirit he has caused to dwell in us[b]? 6 But he gives us more grace. That is why Scripture says:
“God opposes the proud
but shows favor to the humble.”[c]
7 Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. 8 Come near to God and he will come near to you. Wash your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded. 9 Grieve, mourn and wail. Change your laughter to mourning and your joy to gloom. 10 Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up.
11 Brothers and sisters, do not slander one another. Anyone who speaks against a brother or sister[d] or judges them speaks against the law and judges it. When you judge the law, you are not keeping it, but sitting in judgment on it. 12 There is only one Lawgiver and Judge, the one who is able to save and destroy. But you—who are you to judge your neighbor?
Boasting About Tomorrow
13 Now listen, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we will go to this or that city, spend a year there, carry on business and make money.” 14 Why, you do not even know what will happen tomorrow. What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes. 15 Instead, you ought to say, “If it is the Lord’s will, we will live and do this or that.” 16 As it is, you boast in your arrogant schemes. All such boasting is evil. 17 If anyone, then, knows the good they ought to do and doesn’t do it, it is sin for them.
James 5
Warning to Rich Oppressors
5 Now listen, you rich people, weep and wail because of the misery that is coming on you. 2 Your wealth has rotted, and moths have eaten your clothes. 3 Your gold and silver are corroded. Their corrosion will testify against you and eat your flesh like fire. You have hoarded wealth in the last days. 4 Look! The wages you failed to pay the workers who mowed your fields are crying out against you. The cries of the harvesters have reached the ears of the Lord Almighty. 5 You have lived on earth in luxury and self-indulgence. You have fattened yourselves in the day of slaughter.[a] 6 You have condemned and murdered the innocent one, who was not opposing you.
Patience in Suffering
7 Be patient, then, brothers and sisters, until the Lord’s coming. See how the farmer waits for the land to yield its valuable crop, patiently waiting for the autumn and spring rains. 8 You too, be patient and stand firm, because the Lord’s coming is near. 9 Don’t grumble against one another, brothers and sisters, or you will be judged. The Judge is standing at the door!
10 Brothers and sisters, as an example of patience in the face of suffering, take the prophets who spoke in the name of the Lord. 11 As you know, we count as blessed those who have persevered. You have heard of Job’s perseverance and have seen what the Lord finally brought about. The Lord is full of compassion and mercy.
12 Above all, my brothers and sisters, do not swear—not by heaven or by earth or by anything else. All you need to say is a simple “Yes” or “No.” Otherwise you will be condemned.
The Prayer of Faith
13 Is anyone among you in trouble? Let them pray. Is anyone happy? Let them sing songs of praise. 14 Is anyone among you sick? Let them call the elders of the church to pray over them and anoint them with oil in the name of the Lord. 15 And the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well; the Lord will raise them up. If they have sinned, they will be forgiven. 16 Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective.
17 Elijah was a human being, even as we are. He prayed earnestly that it would not rain, and it did not rain on the land for three and a half years. 18 Again he prayed, and the heavens gave rain, and the earth produced its crops.
19 My brothers and sisters, if one of you should wander from the truth and someone should bring that person back, 20 remember this: Whoever turns a sinner from the error of their way will save them from death and cover over a multitude of sins.
