1 James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, sends words of love to the twelve tribes of the Jews living in all parts of the earth.
1 James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which are in the Dispersion: Greetings.
2 Let it be all joy to you, my brothers, when you undergo tests of every sort;
2 Count it all joy, my brothers, when you fall into various temptations,
3 Because you have the knowledge that the testing of your faith gives you the power of going on in hope;
3 knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance.
4 But let this power have its full effect, so that you may be made complete, needing nothing.
4 Let endurance have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.
5 But if any man among you is without wisdom, let him make his request to God, who gives freely to all without an unkind word, and it will be given to him.
5 But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him.
6 Let him make his request in faith, doubting nothing; for he who has doubt in his heart is like the waves of the sea, which are troubled by the driving of the wind.
6 But let him ask in faith, without any doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, driven by the wind and tossed.
7 Let it not seem to such a man that he will get anything from the Lord;
7 For that man shouldn’t think that he will receive anything from the Lord.
8 For there is a division in his mind, and he is uncertain in all his ways.
8 He is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.
9 But let the brother of low position be glad that he is lifted up;
9 Let the brother in humble circumstances glory in his high position;
10 But the man of wealth, that he is made low; because like the flower of the grass he will come to his end.
10 and the rich, in that he is made humble, because like the flower in the grass, he will pass away.
11 For when the sun comes up with its burning heat, the grass gets dry and the grace of its form is gone with the falling flower; so the man of wealth comes to nothing in his ways.
11 For the sun arises with the scorching wind and withers the grass; and the flower in it falls, and the beauty of its appearance perishes. So the rich man will also fade away in his pursuits.
12 There is a blessing on the man who undergoes testing; because, if he has God's approval, he will be given the crown of life, which the Lord has said he will give to those who have love for him.
12 Blessed is a person who endures temptation, for when he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life which the Lord promised to those who love him.
13 Let no man say when he is tested, I am tested by God; for it is not possible for God to be tested by evil, and he himself puts no man to such a test:
13 Let no man say when he is tempted, “I am tempted by God,” for God can’t be tempted by evil, and he himself tempts no one.
14 But every man is tested when he is turned out of the right way by the attraction of his desire.
14 But each one is tempted when he is drawn away by his own lust and enticed.
15 Then when its time comes, desire gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is of full growth, gives birth to death.
15 Then the lust, when it has conceived, bears sin. The sin, when it is full grown, produces death.
16 Do not be turned from the right way, dear brothers.
16 Don’t be deceived, my beloved brothers.
17 Every good and true thing is given to us from heaven, coming from the Father of lights, with whom there is no change or any shade made by turning.
17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom can be no variation nor turning shadow.
18 Of his purpose he gave us being, by his true word, so that we might be, in a sense, the first-fruits of all the things which he had made.
18 Of his own will he gave birth to us by the word of truth, that we should be a kind of first fruits of his creatures.
19 You have knowledge of this, dear brothers. But let every man be quick in hearing, slow in words, slow to get angry;
19 So, then, my beloved brothers, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, and slow to anger;
20 For the righteousness of God does not come about by the wrath of man.
20 for the anger of man doesn’t produce the righteousness of God.
21 For this reason, putting away all dirty behaviour and the overweight of evil, take into your souls without pride the word which, being planted there, is able to give you salvation.
21 Therefore, putting away all filthiness and overflowing of wickedness, receive with humility the implanted word, which is able to save your souls.
22 But be doers of the word, and not only hearers of it, blinding yourselves with false ideas.
22 But be doers of the word, and not only hearers, deluding your own selves.
23 Because if any man is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man looking at his natural face in a glass;
23 For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man looking at his natural face in a mirror;
24 For after looking at himself he goes away, and in a short time he has no memory of what he was like.
24 for he sees himself, and goes away, and immediately forgets what kind of man he was.
25 But he who goes on looking into the true law which makes him free, being not a hearer without memory but a doer putting it into effect, this man will have a blessing on his acts.
25 But he who looks into the perfect law of freedom and continues, not being a hearer who forgets but a doer of the work, this man will be blessed in what he does.
26 If a man seems to have religion and has no control over his tongue but lets himself be tricked by what is false, this man's religion is of no value.
26 If anyone among you thinks himself to be religious while he doesn’t bridle his tongue, but deceives his heart, this man’s religion is worthless.
27 The religion which is holy and free from evil in the eyes of our God and Father is this: to take care of children who have no fathers and of widows who are in trouble, and to keep oneself untouched by the world.
27 Pure religion and undefiled before our God and Father is this: to visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained by the world.

Lo que dijeron los Padres
Pasajes de los Padres de la Iglesia que comentan o citan este capítulo, tal como aparecen en la edición de Schaff (traducciones inglesas del siglo XIX, de dominio público). Los textos están en inglés.
Cómo se eligieron
«Comentario» es el comienzo de una homilía o exposición sobre este capítulo (homilías de san Juan Crisóstomo; tratados, sermones y comentarios a los Salmos de san Agustín). «Cita» es una frase en la que las notas de la propia edición identifican la cita de un versículo de este capítulo; solo se conserva si el texto coincide con el versículo. Solo se usan obras de autoría segura. Los Salmos siguen la numeración hebrea (Agustín usa la de los Setenta: su Salmo 50 es aquí el 51).
But I hungered and thirsted not even after those first works of Thine, but after Thee Thyself, the Truth, "with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning;" yet they still served up to me in those dishes glowing phantasies, than which better were it to love this very sun (which, at least, is true to our sight), than those …

… not by passion, or union, not in ignorance, not by effluence, not by diminution, not by alteration, for every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom can be no variation, neither shadow of turning.

How, therefore, are demons driven off by them, diseases dispelled, sick persons made well, the blind restored to sight, lepers purified, temptations and troubles overcome, and how does every good gift from the Father of lights come down through them to those who pray with sure faith?
