1:1 神和主耶稣基督的奴仆雅各，写信给散居的十二个支派：愿你们喜乐。
James, a slave of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes in the dispersion: Rejoice!
1:2 我的弟兄们，无论何时你们落在诸般的试炼中，都要以为大喜乐；
Count it all joy, my brothers, whenever you fall into various trials,
1:3 知道你们信心所受的试验，产生忍耐。
Knowing that the proving of your faith works out endurance.
1:4 但忍耐也当成功，好使你们齐备完整，毫无缺欠。
And let endurance have its perfect work that you may be perfect and entire, lacking in nothing.
1:5 你们中间若有缺少智慧的，就当求那厚赐众人，也不斥责人的神，就必有赐给他的。
But if any one of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and does not reproach, and it will be given to him.
1:6 只是要凭着信心求，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, doubting nothing, for he who doubts is like the surge of the sea, driven by the wind and tossed about.
1:7 这样的人，不要想从主那里得到什么；
For that man must not suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord;
1:8 心怀二意的人，在他一切的路上，都是摇荡不定的。
He is a double-souled man, unstable in all his ways.
1:9 卑微的弟兄升高，就该夸耀；
And let the lowly brother boast in his exaltation,
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。
And the rich in his being brought low, because like a flower of the grass he will pass away.
1:11 太阳升起，热气薰烤，草就枯干，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 rises with its scorching heat and withers the grass, and its flower falls off, and the beauty of its appearance is destroyed; so also the rich man will fade away in his pursuits.
1:12 忍受试炼的人有福了，因为他既受试验得了称许，就必得着生命的冠冕，这是主应许给那些爱祂之人的。
Blessed is the man who endures trial, because when he has become approved by testing, he will receive the crown of life, which He promised to those who love Him.
1:13 人被试诱，不可说，我是被神试诱，因为神不被恶试诱，祂也不试诱人。
Let no one say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God; for God cannot be tempted of evil, and He Himself tempts no one.
1:14 但各人被试诱，乃是被自己的私欲勾引诱惑的；
But each one is tempted when he is drawn away and enticed by his own lusts;
1:15 然后私欲怀了胎，就生出罪；罪既长成，就产生死。
Then the lust, having conceived, gives birth to sin; and the sin, when it is fully grown, brings forth death.
1:16 我亲爱的弟兄们，不要看错了。
Do not be deceived, my beloved brothers.
1:17 一切美善的赐与、和各样完备的恩赐，都是从上头，从众光之父降下来的，在祂并没有变动，或转动的影儿。
All good giving and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variation or shadow cast by turning.
1:18 祂照自己的定意，用真理的话生了我们，叫我们在祂所造的万物中，成为初熟的果子。
He brought us forth by the word of truth, purposing that we might 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；
You know this, my beloved brothers; but let every man be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath;
1:20 因为人的忿怒并不成就神的义。
For the wrath of man does not accomplish the righteousness of God.
1:21 所以你们既脱去一切的污秽，和盈余的恶毒，就该用温柔领受那栽种的话，就是能救你们魂的话。
Therefore putting away all filthiness and the abundance of malice, receive in meekness the implanted word, which is able to save your souls.
1:22 只是你们要作行道者，不要单作听道者，自己欺哄自己。
And become doers of the word and not hearers only, who delude themselves.
1:23 因为人若是听道者，而不是行道者，就像人对着镜子看自己本来的面目；
Because if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, this one is like a man considering in a mirror the face he was born with;
1:24 看过走开以后，随即忘了自己是什么样子。
For he considers himself and goes away, and immediately forgets what kind of person he is.
1:25 惟有详细察看那完备自由的律法，并且时常如此的，他不是听了就忘，乃是实在行出来，就在他所行的事上必然得福。
But he who looks into the perfect law, the law of freedom, and continues in it, becoming not a forgetful hearer but a doer of the work, this one will be blessed in his doing.
1:26 若有人自以为是虔敬的，却不勒住他的舌头，反欺骗自己的心，这人的虔敬是虚空的。
If anyone thinks himself to be religious and yet does not bridle his tongue but deceives his heart, this one's religion is vain.
1:27 在神与父面前，那清洁没有玷污的虔敬，就是看顾在患难中的孤儿寡妇，保守自己不受世界玷污。
This is pure and undefiled religion before our God and Father: to visit orphans and widows in their affliction and to keep oneself unspotted from the world.
