本日經文提要 ( 雅各書 1:1~1:27)
雅1:1作神和主耶穌基督僕人的雅各，請散住十二個支派之人的安。
雅1:2我的弟兄們，你們落在百般試煉中，都要以為大喜樂。
雅1:3因為知道你們的信心經過試驗，就生忍耐。
雅1:4但忍耐也當成功，使你們成全完備，毫無缺欠。
雅1:5你們中間若有缺少智慧的，應當求那厚賜與眾人，也不斥責人的神，主就必賜給他。
雅1:6只要憑著信心求，一點不疑惑，因為那疑惑的人，就像海中的波浪，被風吹動翻騰。
雅1:7這樣的人，不要想從主那裡得甚麼。
雅1:8心懷二意的人，在他一切所行的路上，都沒有定見。
雅1:9卑微的弟兄升高，就該喜樂。
雅1:10富足的降卑，也該如此，因為他必要過去，如同草上的花一樣。
雅1:11太陽出來，熱風颳起，草就枯乾，花也凋謝，美容就消沒了，那富足的人，在他所行的事上，也要這樣衰殘。
雅1:12忍受試探的人是有福的，因為他經過試驗以後，必得生命的冠冕，這是主應許給那些愛他之人的。
雅1:13人被試探，不可說：我是被神試探，因為神不能被惡試探，他也不試探人。
雅1:14但各人被試探，乃是被自己的私慾牽引誘惑的。
雅1:15私慾既懷了胎，就生出罪來，罪既長成，就生出死來。
雅1:16我親愛的弟兄們，不要看錯了。
雅1:17各樣美善的恩賜，和各樣全備的賞賜，都是從上頭來的，從眾光之父那裡降下來的，在他並沒有改變，也沒有轉動的影兒。
雅1:18他按自己的旨意，用真道生了我們，叫我們在他所造的萬物中，好像初熟的果子。
雅1:19我親愛的弟兄們，這是你們所知道的，但你們各人要快快的聽，僈僈的說：慢慢的動怒。
雅1:20因為人的怒氣，並不成就神的義。
雅1:21所以你們要脫去一切的污穢，和盈餘的邪惡，存溫柔的心領受那所栽種的道，就是能救你們靈魂的道。
雅1:22只是你們要行道，不要單單聽道，自己欺哄自己。
雅1:23因為聽道而不行道的，就像人對著鏡子看自己本來的面目。
雅1:24看見，走後，隨即忘了他的相貌如何。
雅1:25惟有詳細察看那全備使人自由之律法的，並且時常如此，這人既不是聽了就忘，乃是實在行出來，就在他所行的事上必然得福。
雅1:26若有人自以為虔誠，卻不勒住他的舌頭，反欺哄自己的心，這人的虔誠是虛的。
雅1:27在神我們的父面前，那清潔沒有玷污的虔誠，就是看顧在患難中的孤兒寡婦，並且保守自己不沾染世俗。

James 1
1 James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ,
To the twelve tribes scattered among the nations:
Greetings.
Trials and Temptations
2 Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters,[a] whenever you face trials of many kinds, 3 because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. 4 Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. 5 If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you. 6 But when you ask, you must believe and not doubt, because the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind. 7 That person should not expect to receive anything from the Lord. 8 Such a person is double-minded and unstable in all they do.
9 Believers in humble circumstances ought to take pride in their high position. 10 But the rich should take pride in their humiliation—since they will pass away like a wild flower. 11 For the sun rises with scorching heat and withers the plant; its blossom falls and its beauty is destroyed. In the same way, the rich will fade away even while they go about their business.
12 Blessed is the one who perseveres under trial because, having stood the test, that person will receive the crown of life that the Lord has promised to those who love him.
13 When tempted, no one should say, “God is tempting me.” For God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does he tempt anyone; 14 but each person is tempted when they are dragged away by their own evil desire and enticed. 15 Then, after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, gives birth to death.
16 Don’t be deceived, my dear brothers and sisters. 17 Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows. 18 He chose to give us birth through the word of truth, that we might be a kind of firstfruits of all he created.
Listening and Doing
19 My dear brothers and sisters, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry, 20 because human anger does not produce the righteousness that God desires. 21 Therefore, get rid of all moral filth and the evil that is so prevalent and humbly accept the word planted in you, which can save you.
22 Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says. 23 Anyone who listens to the word but does not do what it says is like someone who looks at his face in a mirror 24 and, after looking at himself, goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like. 25 But whoever looks intently into the perfect law that gives freedom, and continues in it—not forgetting what they have heard, but doing it—they will be blessed in what they do.
26 Those who consider themselves religious and yet do not keep a tight rein on their tongues deceive themselves, and their religion is worthless. 27 Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.
