James 3:13-1813 Who [is] wise and intelligent among you? let him shew out of the good behaviour his works in meekness of wisdom,14 and if bitter zeal ye have, and rivalry in your heart, glory not, nor lie against the truth;15 this wisdom is not descending from above, but earthly, physical, demon-like,16 for where zeal and rivalry [are], there is insurrection and every evil matter;17 and the wisdom from above, first, indeed, is pure, then peaceable, gentle, easily entreated, full of kindness and good fruits, uncontentious, and unhypocritical: –18 and the fruit of the righteousness in peace is sown to those making peace.

James, of God and of the Lord – ASLAN International Ministry
James 1:1-121 James, of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ a servant, to the Twelve Tribes who are in the dispersion: Hail!2 All joy count [it], my brethren, when ye may fall into temptations manifold;3 knowing that the proof of your faith doth work endurance,4 and let the endurance have a perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire — in nothing lacking;5 and if any of you do lack wisdom, let him ask from God, who is giving to all liberally, and not reproaching, and it shall be given to him;6 and let him ask in faith, nothing doubting, for he who is doubting hath been like a wave of the sea, driven by wind and tossed,7 for let not that man suppose that he shall receive anything from the Lord –8 a two-souled man [is] unstable in all his ways.9 And let the brother who is low rejoice in his exaltation,10 and the rich in his becoming low, because as a flower of grass he shall pass away;11 for the sun did rise with the burning heat, and did wither the grass, and the flower of it fell, and the grace of its appearance did perish, so also the rich in his way shall fade away!12 Happy the man who doth endure temptation, because, becoming approved, he shall receive the crown of the life, which the Lord did promise to those loving Him.

What [is] the profit, my brethren, if faith, – ASLAN International Ministry
James 2:14-2014 What [is] the profit, my brethren, if faith, any one may speak of having, and works he may not have? is that faith able to save him?15 and if a brother or sister may be naked, and may be destitute of the daily food,16 and any one of you may say to them, `Depart ye in peace, be warmed, and be filled,’ and may not give to them the things needful for the body, what [is] the profit?17 so also the faith, if it may not have works, is dead by itself.18 But say may some one, Thou hast faith, and I have works, shew me thy faith out of thy works, and I will shew thee out of my works my faith:19 thou — thou dost believe that God is one; thou dost well, and the demons believe, and they shudder!20 And dost thou wish to know, O vain man, that the faith apart from the works is dead?
