to me quickly; [4:10]for Demas forsook me
having loved the present life and went to Thessalonica, Cresces to
Galatia, Titus to Dalmatia; [4:11]Luke only is with me. Take Mark and
bring him with you; for [he will be] useful to me for service.
[4:12]But I sent Tychicus to Ephesus. [4:13] The cloak which I left at
Troas with Carpus, when you come, bring, and the books, especially the
parchments.

4 [4:14]Alexander the coppersmith did me much harm; may the Lord reward
him according to his work. [4:15]And do you beware of him, for he
greatly opposed our words. [4:16]At my first defense no one stood by
me, but all forsook me; may it not be set to their account; [4:17]but
the Lord stood by me, and strengthened me, that the word should be
fully declared by me, and all the nations should hear, and I was
delivered from the mouth of the lion. [4:18]The Lord will deliver me
from every evil work, and bring me safe to his heavenly kingdom; to
whom be the glory forever and ever; amen.

5 [4:19]Salute Prisca [Priscilla] and Aquila and the house of
Onesiphorus. [4:20]Erastus remained at Corinth, and Trophimus I left
sick at Miletus. [4:21] Make haste to come before winter. Eubulus and
Pudens and Linus and Claudia, and all the brothers, salute you.
[4:22]The Lord be with your spirit. The grace be with you.

CHAPTER I.

TRIALS, PRAYER, FAITH AND WORKS.

1 [1:1]JAMES, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the
twelve tribes in the dispersion, greeting. [1:2]Account it all joy, my
brothers, when you fall into various trials, [1:3]knowing that the
trial of your faith produces patience. [1:4]But let patience have a
perfect work, that you may be perfect and entire, lacking in nothing.
[1:5]And if any one of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives
to all liberally and upbraids not, and it shall be given him. [1:6]But
let him ask in faith, not doubting; for he that doubts is like a wave
of the sea, driven with the wind and agitated. [1:7]For let not that
man think that he shall receive any thing from the Lord, [1:8]a
double-minded man, unstable in all his ways. [1:9]But let the brother
that is humble rejoice in his exaltation, [1:10]and the rich in his
humiliation, for he shall pass away like a flower of the grass.
[1:11]For the sun rose hot, and withered the grass, and its flower fell
off, and the beauty of its appearance peris
