Saborna poslanica svetog apostola Jakova
Capitolo 1
1
Od Jakova, Boga i Gospoda Isusa Hrista sluge, svima dvanaest kolena rasejanim po svetu pozdravlje.
2
Svaku radost imajte, braćo moja, kad padate u različne napasti,
3
znajući da kušanje vaše vere gradi trpljenje;
4
a trpljenje neka delo dovršuje, da budete savršeni i celi bez ikakve mane.
5
Ako li kome od vas nedostaje premudrosti, neka ište u Boga koji daje svakome bez razlike i ne kori nikoga, i daće mu se;
6
ali neka ište s verom, ne sumnjajući ništa; jer koji se sumnja on je kao morski valovi, koje vetrovi podižu i razmeću.
7
Jer takav čovek neka ne misli da će primiti šta od Boga.
8
Koji dvoumi nepostojan je u svima putevima svojim.
9
A poniženi brat neka se hvali visinom svojom;
10
a bogati svojom poniznošću; jer će proći kao cvet travni.
11
Jer sunce ogreja s vrućinom, i osuši travu, i cvet njen otpade, i krasota lica njena pogibe; tako će i bogati u hođenju svom uvenuti.
12
Blago čoveku koji pretrpi napast; jer kad bude kušan primiće venac života, koji Bog obreče onima koji ga ljube.
13
Nijedan kad se kuša da ne govori: Bog me kuša; jer se Bog ne može zlom iskušati, i On ne kuša nikoga;
14
nego svakog kuša njegova slast, koja ga vuče i mami.
15
Tada zatrudnevši slast rađa greh; a greh učinjen rađa smrt.
16
Ne varajte se, ljubazna braćo moja!
17
Svaki dobri dar i svaki poklon savršeni odozgo je, dolazi od Oca svetlosti, u kog nema promenjivanja ni menjanja videla i mraka;
18
jer nas dragovoljno porodi rečju istine, da budemo novina od Njegovog stvorenja.
19
Zato, ljubazna braćo moja, neka bude svaki čovek brz čuti a spor govoriti i spor srditi se.
20
Jer srdnja čovečija ne čini pravde Božije.
21
Zato odbacite svaku nečistotu i suvišak zlobe, i s krotošću primite usađenu reč koja može spasti duše vaše.
22
Budite, pak, tvorci reči, a ne samo slušači, varajući sami sebe.
23
Jer ako ko sluša reč a ne tvori, on je kao čovek koji gleda lice tela svog u ogledalu;
24
jer se ogleda pa otide, i odmah zaboravi kakav beše.
25
Ali koji providi u savršeni zakon slobode i ostane u njemu, i ne bude zaboravni slušač, nego tvorac dela, onaj će biti blažen u delu svom.
26
Ako koji od vas misli da veruje, i ne zauzdava jezik svoj, nego vara srce svoje, njegova je vera uzalud.
27
Jer vera čista i bez mane pred Bogom i Ocem jeste ova: obilaziti sirote i udovice u njihovim nevoljama, i držati sebe neopoganjenog od sveta.
James
Capitolo 1
1
James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which are scattered abroad, greeting.
2
My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations;
3
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
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.
6
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.
7
For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord.
8
A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.
9
Let the brother of low degree rejoice in that he is exalted:
10
But the rich, in that he is made low: because as the flower of the grass he shall pass away.
11
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.
12
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.
13
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:
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.
16
Do not err, my beloved brethren.
17
Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.
18
Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures.
19
Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let 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
Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted 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 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.
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, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.
