James: Chapter 1

¹ James^G2385, a servant^G1401 of God^G2316 and^G2532 of the Lord^G2962 Jesus^G2424 Christ^G5547, to the^G5443 twelve^G1427 tribes^G5443 which are^G3588 scattered abroad^G1290, greeting^G5463.

²My^G3450 brethren^G0080, count it^G2233 all^G3956 joy^G5479 when^G3752 ye fall into^G4045 divers^G4164 temptations^G3986; ³Knowing^G1097 this , that^G3754 the trying^G1383 of your^G5216 faith^G4102 worketh^G2716 patience^G5281. ⁴But^G1161 let patience^G5281 have^G2192 her perfect^G5046 work^G2041, that^G2443 ye may be^G5600 perfect^G5046 and^G2532 entire^G3648, wanting^G3007 nothing^G3367. ⁵If^G1487 any^G5100 of you^G5216 lack^G3007 wisdom^G4678, let him ask^G0154 of^G3844 God^G2316, that giveth^G1325 to all^G3956 men liberally^G0574, and^G2532 upbraideth^G3679 not^G3361; and^G2532 it shall be given^G1325 him^G0846. ⁶But^G1161 let him ask^G0154 in^G1722 faith^G4102, nothing^G3367 wavering^G1252. For^G1063 he that wavereth^G1252 is like^G1503 a wave^G2830 of the sea^G2281 driven with the wind^G0416 and^G2532 tossed^G4494. ⁷For^G1063 let not^G3361 that^G1565 man^G0444 think^G3633 that^G3754 he shall receive^G2983 any thing^G5100 of^G3844 the Lord^G2962. ⁸A double minded^G1374 man^G0435 is unstable^G0182 in^G1722 all^G3956 his^G0846 ways^G3598. ⁹Let^G1161 the brother^G0080 of low degree^G5011 rejoice^G2744 in^G1722 that he^G0846 is exalted^G5311: ¹⁰But^G1161 the rich^G4145, in^G1722 that he^G0846 is made low^G5014: because^G3754 as^G5613 the flower^G0438 of the grass^G5528 he shall pass away^G3928. ¹¹For^G1063 the sun^G2246 is no sooner risen^G0393 with^G4862 a burning heat^G2742, but^G2532 it withereth^G3583 the grass^G5528, and^G2532 the flower^G0438 thereof^G0846 falleth^G1601, and^G2532 the grace^G2143 of the fashion^G4383 of it^G0846 perisheth^G0622: so^G3779 also^G2532 shall^G3133 the rich man^G4145 fade away^G3133 in^G1722 his^G0846 ways^G4197. ¹²Blessed^G3107 is the man^G0435 that^G3739 endureth^G5278 temptation^G3986: for^G3754 when he is^G1096 tried^G1384, he shall receive^G2983 the crown^G4735 of life^G2222, which^G3739 the Lord^G2962 hath promised^G1861 to them^G3588 that love^G0025 him^G0846. ¹³Let no man^G3367 say^G3004 when^G3754 he is tempted^G3985, I am tempted^G3985 of^G0575 God^G2316: for^G1063 God^G2316 cannot be tempted^G0551 with evil^G2556, neither^G1161 tempteth^G3985 he^G0846 any man^G3762: ¹⁴But^G1161 every man^G1538 is tempted^G3985, when he is drawn away^G1828 of^G5259 his own^G2398 lust^G1939, and^G2532 enticed^G1185. ¹⁵Then when^G1534 lust^G1939 hath conceived^G4815, it bringeth forth^G5088 sin^G0266: and^G1161 sin^G0266, when it is finished^G0658, bringeth forth^G0616 death^G2288. ¹⁶Do^G4105 not^G3361 err^G4105, my^G3450 beloved^G0027 brethren^G0080. ¹⁷Every^G3956 good^G0018 gift^G1394 and^G2532 every^G3956 perfect^G5046 gift^G1434 is^G2076 from above^G0509, and cometh down^G2597 from^G0575 the Father^G3962 of lights^G5457, with^G3844 whom^G3739 is^G1762 no^G3756 variableness^G3883, neither^G2228 shadow^G0644 of turning^G5157. ¹⁸Of his own will^G1014 begat he^G0616 us^G2248 with the word^G3056 of truth^G0225, that we^G2248 should be^G1511 a kind^G5100 of firstfruits^G0536 of his^G0846 creatures^G2938.

¹⁹Wherefore^G5620, my^G3450 beloved^G0027 brethren^G0080, let every^G3956 man^G0444 be^G2077 swift^G5036 to^G1519 hear^G0191, slow^G1021 to^G1519 speak^G2980, slow^G1021 to^G1519 wrath^G3709: ²⁰For^G1063 the wrath^G3709 of man^G0435 worketh^G2716 not^G3756 the righteousness^G1343 of God^G2316. ²¹Wherefore^G1352 lay apart^G0659 all^G3956 filthiness^G4507 and^G2532 superfluity^G4050 of naughtiness^G2549, and receive^G1209 with^G1722 meekness^G4240 the engrafted^G1721 word^G3056, which^G3588 is able^G1410 to save^G4982 your^G5216 souls^G5590. ²²But^G1161 be^G1096 ye doers^G4163 of the word^G3056, and^G2532 not^G3361 hearers^G0202 only^G3440, deceiving^G3884 your own selves^G1438. ²³For^G3754 if^G1487 any^G5100 be a hearer^G0202 of the word^G3056, and^G2532 not^G3756 a doer^G4163, he^G3778 is^G2076 like unto^G1503 a man^G0435 beholding^G2657 his^G0846 natural^G1078 face^G4383 in^G1722 a glass^G2072: ²⁴For^G1063 he beholdeth^G2657 himself^G1438, and^G2532 goeth his way^G0565, and^G2532 straightway^G2112 forgetteth^G1950 what manner of man^G3697 he was^G2258. ²⁵But^G1161 whoso looketh^G3879 into^G1519 the perfect^G5046 law^G3551 of liberty^G1657, and^G2532 continueth^G3887 therein , he^G3778 being^G1096 not^G3756 a forgetful^G1953 hearer^G0202, but^G0235 a doer^G4163 of the work^G2041, this man^G3778 shall be^G2071 blessed^G3107 in^G1722 his^G0846 deed^G4162. ²⁶If^G1487 any man^G5100 among^G1722 you^G5213 seem^G1380 to be^G1511 religious^G2357, and bridleth^G5468 not^G3361 his^G0846 tongue^G1100, but^G0235 deceiveth^G0538 his own^G0846 heart^G2588, this mans^G5127 religion^G2356 is vain^G3152. ²⁷Pure^G2513 religion^G2356 and^G2532 undefiled^G0283 before^G3844 God^G2316 and^G2532 the Father^G3962 is^G2076 this^G3778, To visit^G1980 the fatherless^G3737 and^G2532 widows^G5503 in^G1722 their^G0846 affliction^G2347, and to keep^G5083 himself^G1438 unspotted^G0784 from^G0575 the world^G2889.

James: Chapter 2

¹My^G3450 brethren^G0080, have^G2192 not^G3361 the faith^G4102 of our^G2257 Lord^G2962 Jesus^G2424 Christ^G5547, the Lord of glory^G1391, with^G1722 respect of persons^G4382. ²For^G1063 if^G1437 there come^G1525 unto^G1519 your^G5216 assembly^G4864 a man^G0435 with a gold ring^G5554, in^G1722 goodly^G2986 apparel^G2066, and^G1161 there come in^G1525 also^G2532 a poor man^G4434 in^G1722 vile^G4508 raiment^G2066; ³And^G2532 ye have respect^G1914 to^G1909 him that^G3588 weareth^G5409 the gay^G2986 clothing^G2066, and^G2532 say^G2036 unto him^G0846, Sit^G2521 thou^G4771 here^G5602 in a good place^G2573; and^G2532 say^G2036 to the poor^G4434, Stand^G2476 thou^G4771 there^G1563, or^G2228 sit^G2521 here^G5602 under^G5259 my^G3450 footstool^G5286: ⁴Are ye^G1252 not^G3756 then^G2532 partial^G1252 in^G1722 yourselves^G1438, and^G2532 are become^G1096 judges^G2923 of evil^G4190 thoughts^G1261? ⁵Hearken^G0191, my^G3450 beloved^G0027 brethren^G0080, Hath^G1586 not^G3756 God^G2316 chosen^G1586 the poor^G4434 of this^G5127 world^G2889 rich^G4145 in^G1722 faith^G4102, and^G2532 heirs^G2818 of the kingdom^G0932 which^G3739 he hath promised^G1861 to them that^G3588 love^G0025 him^G0846? ⁶But^G1161 ye^G5210 have despised^G0818 the poor^G4434. Do^G2616 not^G3756 rich men^G4145 oppress^G2616 you^G5216, and^G2532 draw^G1670 you^G5209 before^G1519 the judgment seats^G2922? ⁷Do^G0987 not^G3756 they^G0846 blaspheme^G0987 that worthy^G2570 name^G3686 by^G1909 the which^G3588 ye^G5209 are called^G1941? ⁸If^G1487 ye fulfil^G5055 the royal^G0937 law^G3551 according to^G2596 the scripture^G1124, Thou shalt love^G0025 thy^G4675 neighbour^G4139 as^G5613 thyself^G4572, ye do^G4160 well^G2573: ⁹But^G1161 if^G1487 ye have respect to persons^G4380, ye commit^G2038 sin^G0266, and are convinced^G1651 of^G5259 the law^G3551 as^G5613 transgressors^G3848. ¹⁰For^G1063 whosoever^G3748 shall keep^G5083 the whole^G3650 law^G3551, and yet^G1161 offend^G4417 in^G1722 one^G1520 point , he is^G1096 guilty of^G1777 all^G3956. ¹¹For^G1063 he that said^G2036, Do^G3431 not^G3361 commit adultery^G3431, said^G2036 also^G2532, Do^G5407 not^G3361 kill^G5407. Now^G1161 if^G1487 thou commit^G3431 no^G3756 adultery^G3431, yet^G1161 if thou kill^G5407, thou art become^G1096 a transgressor^G3848 of the law^G3551. ¹² So^G3779 speak ye^G2980, and^G2532 so^G3779 do^G4160, as^G5613 they that shall^G3195 be judged^G2919 by^G1223 the law^G3551 of liberty^G1657. ¹³For^G1063 he^G4160 shall have judgment^G2920 without mercy^G0448, that hath shewed^G4160 no^G3361 mercy^G1656; and^G2532 mercy^G1656 rejoiceth against^G2620 judgment^G2920. ¹⁴What^G5101 doth it profit^G3786, my^G3450 brethren^G0080, though^G1437 a man^G5100 say^G3004 he hath^G2192 faith^G4102, and^G1161 have^G2192 not^G3361 works^G2041? can^G1410 faith^G4102 save^G4982 him^G0846? ¹⁵If^G1437 a brother^G0080 or^G2228 sister^G0079 be^G5225 naked^G1131, and^G2532 destitute^G3007 of daily^G2184 food^G5160, ¹⁶And^G1161 one^G5100 of^G1537 you^G5216 say^G2036 unto them^G0846, Depart^G5217 in^G1722 peace^G1515, be^G2328 ye warmed^G2328 and^G2532 filled^G5526; notwithstanding^G1161 ye give^G1325 them^G0846 not^G3361 those things which are needful^G2006 to the body^G4983; what^G5101 doth it profit^G3786? ¹⁷Even^G2532 so^G3779 faith^G4102, if^G1437 it hath^G2192 not^G3361 works^G2041, is^G2076 dead^G3498, being^G2596 alone^G1438. ¹⁸Yea^G0235, a man^G5100 may say^G2046, Thou^G4771 hast^G2192 faith^G4102, and I^G2504 have^G2192 works^G2041: shew^G1166 me^G3427 thy^G4675 faith^G4102 without^G1537 thy^G4675 works^G2041, and I^G2504 will shew^G1166 thee^G4671 my^G3450 faith^G4102 by^G1537 my^G3450 works^G2041. ¹⁹Thou^G4771 believest^G4100 that^G3754 there is^G2076 one^G1520 God^G2316; thou doest^G4160 well^G2573: the devils^G1140 also^G2532 believe^G4100, and^G2532 tremble^G5425. ²⁰But^G1161 wilt thou^G2309 know^G1097, O^G5599 vain^G2756 man^G0444, that^G3754 faith^G4102 without^G5565 works^G2041 is^G2076 dead^G3498? ²¹Was not^G3756 Abraham^G0011 our^G2257 father^G3962 justified^G1344 by^G1537 works^G2041, when he had offered^G0399 Isaac^G2464 his^G0846 son^G5207 upon^G1909 the altar^G2379? ²²Seest thou^G0991 how^G3754 faith^G4102 wrought with^G4903 his^G0846 works^G2041, and^G2532 by^G1537 works^G2041 was^G5048 faith^G4102 made perfect^G5048? ²³And^G2532 the scripture^G1124 was fulfilled^G4137 which saith^G3004, Abraham^G0011 believed^G4100 God^G2316, and^G2532 it was imputed^G3049 unto him^G0846 for^G1519 righteousness^G1343: and^G2532 he was called^G2564 the Friend^G5384 of God^G2316. ²⁴Ye see^G3708 then^G5106 how that^G3754 by^G1537 works^G2041 a man^G0444 is justified^G1344, and^G2532 not^G3756 by^G1537 faith^G4102 only^G3441. ²⁵Likewise^G3668 also^G2532 was^G1344 not^G3756 Rahab^G4460 the harlot^G4204 justified^G1344 by^G1537 works^G2041, when she had received^G5264 the messengers^G0032, and^G2532 had sent^G1544 them out^G1544 another^G2087 way^G3598? ²⁶For^G1063 as^G5618 the body^G4983 without^G5565 the spirit^G4151 is^G2076 dead^G3498, so^G3779 faith^G4102 without^G5565 works^G2041 is^G2076 dead^G3498 also^G2532.

¹My^G3450 brethren^G0080, be^G1096 not^G3361 many^G4183 masters^G1320, knowing^G1492 that^G3754 we shall receive^G2983 the greater^G3173 condemnation^G2917. ²For^G1063 in many things^G4183 we offend^G4417 all^G0537. If^G1487 any man^G5100 offend^G4417 not^G3756 in^G1722 word^G3056, the same^G3778 is a perfect^G5046 man^G0435, and able^G1415 also^G2532 to bridle^G5468 the whole^G3650 body^G4983. ³Behold^G2400, we put^G0906 bits^G5469 in^G1519 the horses^G2462 mouths^G4750, that^G4314 they^G0846 may obey^G3982 us^G2254; and^G2532 we turn about^G3329 their^G0846 whole^G3650 body^G4983. ⁴Behold^G2400 also^G2532 the ships^G4143, which though^G5607 they be so great^G5082, and^G2532 are driven^G1643 of^G5259 fierce^G4642 winds^G0417, yet are they turned about^G3329 with^G5259 a very small^G1646 helm^G4079, whithersoever^G3699 the governor^G3730 listeth^G1014. ⁵Even^G2532 so^G3779 the tongue^G1100 is^G2076 a little^G3398 member^G3196, and^G2532 boasteth great things^G3166.

¹From whence^G4159 come wars^G4171 and^G2532 fightings^G3163 among^G1722 you^G5213? come they not^G3756 hence^G1782, even of^G1537 your^G5216 lusts^G2237 that war^G4754 in^G1722 your^G5216 members^G3196? ²Ye lust^G1937, and^G2532 have^G2192 not^G3756: ye kill^G5407, and^G2532 desire to have^G2206, and^G2532 cannot^G1410 obtain^G2013: ye fight^G3164 and^G2532 war^G4170, yet^G1161 ye have^G2192 not^G3756, because^G1223 ye^G5209 ask^G0154 not^G3361. ³Ye ask^G0154, and^G2532 receive^G2983 not^G3756, because^G1360 ye ask^G0154 amiss^G2560, that^G2443 ye may consume^G1159 it upon^G1722 your^G5216 lusts^G2237. ⁴Ye adulterers^G3432 and^G2532 adulteresses^G3428, know ye^G1492 not^G3756 that^G3754 the friendship^G5373 of the world^G2889 is^G2076 enmity^G2189 with God^G2316? whosoever^G3739 therefore^G3767 will^G1014 be^G1511 a friend^G5384 of the world^G2889 is^G2525 the enemy^G2190 of God^G2316. ⁵Do^G2228 ye think^G1380 that^G3754 the scripture^G1124 saith^G3004 in vain^G2761, The spirit^G4151 that^G3739 dwelleth^G2730 in^G1722 us^G2254 lusteth^G1971 to^G4314 envy^G5355? ⁶But^G1161 he giveth^G1325 more^G3173 grace^G5485. Wherefore^G1352 he saith^G3004, God^G2316 resisteth^G0498 the proud^G5244, but^G1161 giveth^G1325 grace^G5485 unto the humble^G5011. ⁷Submit yourselves^G5293 therefore^G3767 to God^G2316. Resist^G0436 the devil^G1228, and^G2532 he will flee^G5343 from^G0575 you^G5216. ⁸Draw nigh^G1448 to God^G2316, and^G2532 he will draw nigh^G1448 to you^G5213. Cleanse^G2511 your hands^G5495, ye sinners^G0268; and^G2532 purify^G0048 your hearts^G2588, ye double minded^G1374. ⁹Be afflicted^G5003, and^G2532 mourn^G3996, and^G2532 weep^G2799: let^G3344 your^G5216 laughter^G1071 be turned^G3344 to^G1519 mourning^G3997, and^G2532 your joy^G5479 to^G1519 heaviness^G2726. ¹⁰Humble yourselves^G5013 in the sight of^G1799 the Lord^G2962, and^G2532 he shall lift^G5312 you^G5209 up^G5312. ¹¹Speak^G2635 not^G3361 evil^G2635 one of another^G0240, brethren^G0080. He that^G3588 speaketh evil^G2635 of^G0080 his brother^G0080, and^G2532 judgeth^G2919 his^G0846 brother^G0080, speaketh evil^G2635 of the law^G3551, and^G2532 judgeth^G2919 the law^G3551: but^G1161 if^G1487 thou judge^G2919 the law^G3551, thou art^G1488 not^G3756 a doer^G4163 of the law^G3551, but^G0235 a judge^G2923. ¹²There is^G2076 one^G1520 lawgiver^G3550, who^G3588 is able^G1410 to save^G4982 and^G2532 to destroy^G0622: who^G5101 art^G1488 thou^G4771 that^G3739 judgest^G2919 another^G2087?

¹³Go to^G0071 now^G3568, ye^G3588 that say^G3004, To day^G4594 or^G2532 to morrow^G0839 we will go^G4198 into^G1519 such^G3592 a city^G4172, and^G2532 continue^G4160 there^G1563 a^G1520 year^G1763, and^G2532 buy and sell^G1710, and^G2532 get gain^G2770: ¹⁴Whereas^G3748 ye know^G1987 not^G3756 what^G3588 shall be on the morrow^G0839. For^G1063 what^G4169 is your^G5216 life^G2222? It is^G2076 even^G1063 a vapour^G0822, that appeareth^G5316 for^G4314 a little time^G3641, and^G1161 then^G1899 vanisheth away^G0853. ¹⁵For that^G0473 ye^G5209 ought to say^G3004, If^G1437 the Lord^G2962 will^G2309, we shall live^G2198, and^G2532 do^G4160 this^G5124, or^G2228 that^G1565. ¹⁶But^G1161 now^G3568 ye rejoice^G2744 in^G1722 your^G5216 boastings^G0212: all^G3956 such^G5108 rejoicing^G2746 is^G2076 evil^G4190. ¹⁷Therefore^G3767 to him that knoweth^G1492 to do^G4160 good^G2570, and^G2532 doeth^G4160 it not^G3361, to him^G0846 it is^G2076 sin^G0266.

James: Chapter 5

¹Go to^G0071 now^G3568, ye rich men^G4145, weep^G2799 and howl^G3649 for^G1909 your^G5216 miseries^G5004 that shall come upon^G1904 you . ²Your^G5216 riches^G4149 are corrupted^G4595, and^G2532 your^G5216 garments^G2440 are^G1096 motheaten^G4598. ³Your^G5216 gold^G5557 and^G2532 silver^G0696 is cankered^G2728; and^G2532 the rust^G2447 of them^G0846 shall be^G2071 a witness^G3142 against^G1519 you^G5213, and^G2532 shall eat^G5315 your^G5216 flesh^G4561 as it were^G5613 fire^G4442. Ye have heaped treasure together^G2343 for^G1722 the last^G2078 days^G2250. ⁴Behold^G2400, the hire^G3408 of the labourers^G2040 who have^G3588 reaped down^G0270 your^G5216 fields^G5561, which is of^G0575 you^G5216 kept back by fraud^G0650, crieth^G2896: and^G2532 the cries^G0995 of them^G3588 which have reaped^G2325 are entered^G1525 into^G1519 the ears^G3775 of the Lord^G2962 of sabaoth^G4519. ⁵Ye have lived in pleasure^G5171 on^G1909 the earth^G1093, and^G2532 been wanton^G4684; ye have nourished^G5142 your^G5216 hearts^G2588, as^G5613 in^G1722 a day^G2250 of slaughter^G4967. ⁶Ye have condemned^G2613 and killed^G5407 the just^G1342; and he doth^G0498 not^G3756 resist^G0498 you^G5213.

⁷Be patient^G3114 therefore^G3767, brethren^G0080, unto^G2193 the coming^G3952 of the Lord^G2962. Behold^G2400, the husbandman^G1092 waiteth for^G1551 the precious^G5093 fruit^G2590 of the earth^G1093, and hath long patience^G3114 for^G1909 it^G0846, until^G2193 he receive^G2983 the early^G4406 and^G2532 latter^G3797 rain^G5205. ⁸Be^G3114 ye^G5210 also^G2532 patient^G3114; stablish^G4741 your^G5216 hearts^G2588: for^G3754 the coming^G3952 of the Lord^G2962 draweth nigh^G1448. ⁹Grudge^G4727 not^G3361 one against^G2596 another^G0240, brethren^G0080, lest^G3361 ye be condemned^G2632: behold^G2400, the judge^G4253 standeth^G2476 before^G3588 the door^G2476. ¹⁰Take^G2983, my^G3450 brethren^G0080, the prophets^G4396, who^G3739 have spoken^G2980 in the name^G3686 of the Lord^G2962, for an example^G5262 of suffering affliction^G2552, and^G2532 of patience^G3115. ¹¹Behold^G2400, we count^G3106 them^G3588 happy^G3106 which endure^G5278. Ye have heard^G0191 of the patience^G5281 of Job^G2492, and^G2532 have seen^G1492 the end^G5056 of the Lord^G2962; that^G3754 the Lord^G2962 is^G2076 very pitiful^G4184, and^G2532 of tender mercy^G3629. ¹²But^G1161 above^G4253 all things^G3956, my^G3450 brethren^G0080, swear^G3660 not^G3361, neither^G3383 by heaven^G3772, neither^G3383 by the earth^G1093, neither^G3383 by any^G5100 other^G0243 oath^G3727: but^G1161 let^G2277 your^G5216 yea^G3483 be^G2277 yea^G3483; and^G2532 your nay^G3756, nay^G3756; lest^G2443 ye fall^G4098 into^G1519 condemnation^G5272. ¹³Is^G2553 any^G5100 among^G1722 you^G5213 afflicted^G2553? let him pray^G4336. Is^G2114 any^G5100 merry^G2114? let him sing psalms^G5567. ¹⁴Is^G0770 any^G5100 sick^G0770 among^G1722 you^G5213? let him call^G4341 for the elders^G4245 of the church^G1577; and^G2532 let them pray^G4336 over^G1909 him^G0846, anointing^G0218 him^G0846 with oil^G1637 in^G1722 the name^G3686 of the Lord^G2962: ¹⁵And^G2532 the prayer^G2171 of faith^G4102 shall save^G4982 the sick^G2577, and^G2532 the Lord^G2962 shall raise^G1453 him^G0846 up^G1453; and if^G2579 he have committed^G4160 sins^G0266, they^G0863 shall be^G5600 forgiven^G0863 him^G0846. ¹⁶Confess^G1843 your faults^G3900 one to another^G0240, and^G2532 pray^G2172 one^G0240 for^G5228 another^G0240, that^G3704 ye may be healed^G2390. The effectual fervent^G1754 prayer^G1162 of a righteous man^G1342 availeth^G2480 much^G4183. ¹⁷ Elias^G2243 was^G2258 a man^G0444 subject to like passions^G3663 as we are^G2254, and^G2532 he prayed^G4336 earnestly^G4335 that it might^G1026 not^G3361 rain^G1026: and^G2532 it rained^G1026 not^G3756 on^G1909 the earth^G1093 by the space of three^G5140 years^G1763 and^G2532 six^G1803 months^G3376. ¹⁸And^G2532 he prayed^G4336 again^G3825, and^G2532 the heaven^G3772 gave^G1325 rain^G5205, and^G2532 the earth^G1093 brought forth^G0985 her^G0846 fruit^G2590. ¹⁹Brethren^G0080, if^G1437 any^G5100 of^G1722 you^G5213 do err^G4105 from^G0575 the truth^G0225, and^G2532 one^G5100 convert^G1994 him^G0846; ²⁰Let him know^G1097, that^G3754 he which converteth^G1994 the sinner^G0268 from^G1537 the error^G4106 of his^G0846 way^G3598 shall save^G4982 a soul^G5590 from^G1537 death^G2288, and^G2532 shall hide^G2572 a multitude^G4128 of sins^G0266.
