1 This letter comes from James, servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ. It is sent to the twelve tribes scattered abroad. Best wishes to you!
1 James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which are in the Dispersion: Greetings.
2 My friends, choose to stay happy even when all kinds of troubles come your way,
2 Count it all joy, my brothers, when you fall into various temptations,
3 because you know that endurance comes from dealing with challenges to your trust in God.
3 knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance.
4 Let your endurance become as strong as possible, so that you will be completely mature, without any shortcomings.
4 Let endurance have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.
5 If any of you need wisdom, ask God, who gives generously to everyone without holding back.
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 But when you ask, remember to trust in God—don't have any doubts. Someone who doubts is like the crashing waves of the sea, tossed about and driven by 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 Nobody like that should think they'll get anything from the Lord—
7 For that man shouldn’t think that he will receive anything from the Lord.
8 their minds think every which way, and they're unstable in whatever they do.
8 He is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.
9 Believers who are born poor should take pride in the high position they've been given,
9 Let the brother in humble circumstances glory in his high position;
10 while the rich should “boast” in the humble position they now have, since they will fade away like flowers in the field.
10 and the rich, in that he is made humble, because like the flower in the grass, he will pass away.
11 For the sun rises along with the blistering wind and scorches the grass. The flowers fall and their beauty is marred. Everything the rich achieve will fade in just the same way.
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 Happy is anyone who patiently endures temptation, for when they've proved that they are trustworthy, they will receive the crown of life which God promises to those who love 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 Nobody should say when they're tempted, “I'm being tempted by God.” For God is not tempted by evil, nor does he tempt anyone.
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 Temptations come from our own evil desires that lead us astray and entrap us.
14 But each one is tempted when he is drawn away by his own lust and enticed.
15 Such desires lead to sin, and sin, when it's fully developed, causes death.
15 Then the lust, when it has conceived, bears sin. The sin, when it is full grown, produces death.
16 My dear friends, don't be deceived.
16 Don’t be deceived, my beloved brothers.
17 All that's good, every perfect gift, is from above, and comes down from the Father who made heaven's lights. Unlike them he doesn't change—he doesn't vary or cause shadows.
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 He chose to give us new life through the word of truth, so that out of all his creation we would be very special to him.
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 Remember this, my dear friends: everyone should be quick to listen but slow to speak, and 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 because human anger doesn't reflect the good character of God.
20 for the anger of man doesn’t produce the righteousness of God.
21 So get rid of all that's filthy and evil. Humbly accept the word that's been implanted within you—for this is what can save you.
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 do what the word says—don't just listen to it and delude yourselves.
22 But be doers of the word, and not only hearers, deluding your own selves.
23 If you just listen to the word, and don't act on it, it's like staring at your own face in a mirror.
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 You see yourself, but then you leave, and immediately forget what you looked like.
24 for he sees himself, and goes away, and immediately forgets what kind of man he was.
25 But if you look to the perfect law of freedom and follow it, not as someone who just listens and then forgets, but as someone who acts on it—then you will be blessed in what you do.
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 you think you're religious, but don't control what you say, you deceive yourself—your religion is pointless.
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 In the eyes of our God and Father, religion that's pure and genuine is to visit orphans and widows in their suffering, and to keep yourself from being contaminated 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.

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?
