We will be looking at a summary of the book of James tonight.  There were many important subjects, and phrases that were made by James.  We want to look at those one more time.

 

CHAPTER ONE.

Jam 1:5  If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.

 

Jam 1:12  Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him.

 

Jam 1:13-15  Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man:  (14)  But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed.  (15)  Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.

 

Jam 1:17  Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.

 

Jam 1:19  Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath:

 

Jam 1:22  But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.

 

Jam 1:27  Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.

 

CHAPTER TWO:

Jam 2:1  My brethren, have not the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory, with respect of persons.

 

Jam 2:13  For he shall have judgment without mercy, that hath showed no mercy; and mercy rejoiceth against judgment.

 

Jam 2:17  Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone.

 

CHAPTER THREE:

Jam 3:1  My brethren, be not many masters, knowing that we shall receive the greater condemnation.

 

Jam 3:6  And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity; so is the tongue among our members, that it defileth the whole body, and setteth on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire of hell.

 

Jam 3:8  But the tongue can no man tame; it is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison.

 

Jam 3:17  But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be entreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.

 

CHAPTER FOUR:

Jam 4:1  From whence come wars and fightings among you? come they not hence, even of your lusts that war in your members?

 

Jam 4:2-3  Ye lust, and have not: ye kill, and desire to have, and cannot obtain: ye fight and war, yet ye have not, because ye ask not.  (3)  Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts.

 

Jam 4:4  Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.

 

Jam 4:7  Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

 

Jam 4:12  There is one lawgiver, who is able to save and to destroy: who art thou that judgest another?

 

Jam 4:15  For that ye ought to say, If the Lord will, we shall live, and do this, or that.

 

Jam 4:17  Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin.

 

CHAPTER FIVE:

Jam 5:1  Go to now, ye rich men, weep and howl for your miseries that shall come upon you.

 

Jam 5:7-8  Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the coming of the Lord. Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, and hath long patience for it, until he receive the early and latter rain.  (8)  Be ye also patient; establish your hearts: for the coming of the Lord draweth nigh.

 

Jam 5:13  Is any among you afflicted? let him pray. Is any merry? let him sing psalms.

 

Jam 5:14  Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord:

 

Jam 5:16  Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.

 

Jam 5:19-20  Brethren, if any of you do err from the truth, and one convert him;  (20)  Let him know, that he which converteth the sinner from the error of his way shall save a soul from death, and shall hide a multitude of sins.

 

FOR A LETTER TO BE ALMOST NOT COUNTED INSPIRED, AND NOT PLACED IN THE BIBLE, THIS LETTER HAS MANY PASSAGES THAT ARE QUOTED QUITE OFTEN.
