Greetings and Testing of Faith

James, a servant of God, writes to the twelve tribes in the Dispersion, greeting them.
Trials of various kinds test our faith, producing steadfastness, which makes us perfect and complete.
Asking God for wisdom with faith, without doubting, brings results, while doubting makes one unstable and double-minded.

Humility and Riches

The lowly brother should boast in his exaltation, and the rich in his humiliation, as riches are fleeting like a flower that withers away.
The rich man will fade away in the midst of his pursuits, while the one who remains steadfast under trial will receive the crown of life.

Temptation

God cannot be tempted with evil and does not tempt anyone; each person is tempted by their own desires.
Desire gives birth to sin, and sin leads to death; we should not be deceived.

Gifts from God

Every good and perfect gift comes from God, the Father of lights, who brought us forth by the word of truth to be a kind of firstfruits.
God's will is to bring us forth, and He is unchanging, with no variation or shadow due to change.

Hearing and Doing the Word

We should be quick to hear, slow to speak, and slow to anger, as human anger does not produce the righteousness of God.
Putting away filthiness and wickedness, we should receive the implanted word with meekness, which saves our souls.
Being doers of the word, not just hearers, brings blessings, while mere hearing leads to self-deception.
True religion involves visiting orphans and widows in their affliction and keeping oneself unstained from the world.
