James 1:1-11

Jas 1:1 ESV

James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, To the twelve tribes in the Dispersion: Greetings.

Jas 1:1 ASV

James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which are of the Dispersion, greeting.

Jas 1:2 ESV

Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds,

Jas 1:2 ASV

Count it all joy, my brethren, when ye fall into manifold temptations;

Jas 1:3 ESV

for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness.

Jas 1:3 ASV

Knowing that the proving of your faith worketh patience.

Jas 1:4 ESV

And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.

Jas 1:4 ASV

And let patience have its perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, lacking in nothing.

Jas 1:5 ESV

If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him.

Jas 1:5 ASV

But if any of you lacketh wisdom, let him ask of God, who giveth to all liberally and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.

Jas 1:6 ESV

But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea that is driven and tossed by the wind.

Jas 1:6 ASV

But let him ask in faith, nothing doubting: for he that doubteth is like the surge of the sea driven by the wind and tossed.

Jas 1:7 ESV

For that person must not suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord;

Jas 1:7 ASV

For let not that man think that he shall receive anything of the Lord;

Jas 1:8 ESV

he is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.

Jas 1:8 ASV

a doubleminded man, unstable in all his ways.

Jas 1:9 ESV

Let the lowly brother boast in his exaltation,

Jas 1:9 ASV

But let the brother of low degree glory in his high estate:

Jas 1:10 ESV

and the rich in his humiliation, because like a flower of the grass he will pass away.

Jas 1:10 ASV

and the rich, in that he is made low: because as the flower of the grass he shall pass away.

Jas 1:11 ESV

For the sun rises with its scorching heat and withers the grass; its flower falls, and its beauty perishes. So also will the rich man fade away in the midst of his pursuits.

Jas 1:11 ASV

For the sun ariseth with the scorching wind, and withereth the grass: and the flower thereof falleth, and the grace of the fashion of it perisheth: so also shall the rich man fade away in his goings.

James 1:12-27

Jas 1:12 ESV

Blessed is the man who remains steadfast under trial, for when he has stood the test he will receive the crown of life, which God has promised to those who love him.

Jas 1:12 ASV

Blessed is the man that endureth temptation; for when he hath been approved, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord promised to them that love him.

Jas 1:13 ESV

Let no one say when he is tempted, "I am being tempted by God," for God cannot be tempted with evil, and he himself tempts no one.

Jas 1:13 ASV

Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God; for God cannot be tempted with evil, and he himself tempteth no man:

Jas 1:14 ESV

But each person is tempted when he is lured and enticed by his own desire.

Jas 1:14 ASV

but each man is tempted, when he is drawn away by his own lust, and enticed.

Jas 1:15 ESV

Then desire when it has conceived gives birth to sin, and sin when it is fully grown brings forth death.

Jas 1:15 ASV

Then the lust, when it hath conceived, beareth sin: and the sin, when it is fullgrown, bringeth forth death.

Jas 1:16 ESV

Do not be deceived, my beloved brothers.

Jas 1:16 ASV

Be not deceived, my beloved brethren.

Jas 1:17 ESV

Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change.

Jas 1:17 ASV

Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom can be no variation, neither shadow that is cast by turning.

Jas 1:18 ESV

Of his own will he brought us forth by the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures.

Jas 1:18 ASV

Of his own will he brought us forth by the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures.

Jas 1:19 ESV

Know this, my beloved brothers: let every person be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger;

Jas 1:19 ASV

Ye know this, my beloved brethren. But let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath:

Jas 1:20 ESV

for the anger of man does not produce the righteousness of God.

Jas 1:20 ASV

for the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God.

Jas 1:21 ESV

Therefore put away all filthiness and rampant wickedness and receive with meekness the implanted word, which is able to save your souls.

Jas 1:21 ASV

Wherefore putting away all filthiness and overflowing of wickedness, receive with meekness the implanted word, which is able to save your souls.

Jas 1:22 ESV

But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.

Jas 1:22 ASV

But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deluding your own selves.

Jas 1:23 ESV

For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man who looks intently at his natural face in a mirror.

Jas 1:23 ASV

For if any one is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a mirror:

Jas 1:24 ESV

For he looks at himself and goes away and at once forgets what he was like.

Jas 1:24 ASV

for he beholdeth himself, and goeth away, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was.

Jas 1:25 ESV

But the one who looks into the perfect law, the law of liberty, and perseveres, being no hearer who forgets but a doer who acts, he will be blessed in his doing.

Jas 1:25 ASV

But he that looketh into the perfect law, the law of liberty, and so continueth, being not a hearer that forgetteth but a doer that worketh, this man shall be blessed in his doing.

Jas 1:26 ESV

If anyone thinks he is religious and does not bridle his tongue but deceives his heart, this person's religion is worthless.

Jas 1:26 ASV

If any man thinketh himself to be religious, while he bridleth not his tongue but deceiveth his heart, this man's religion is vain.

Jas 1:27 ESV

Religion that is pure and undefiled before God, the Father, is this: to visit orphans and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained from the world.

Jas 1:27 ASV

Pure religion and undefiled before our God and Father is this, to visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unspotted from the world.

James 2:1-13

Jas 2:1 ESV

My brothers, show no partiality as you hold the faith in our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory.

Jas 2:1 ASV

My brethren, hold not the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory, with respect of persons.

Jas 2:2 ESV

For if a man wearing a gold ring and fine clothing comes into your assembly, and a poor man in shabby clothing also comes in,

Jas 2:2 ASV

For if there come into your synagogue a man with a gold ring, in fine clothing, and there come in also a poor man in vile clothing;

Jas 2:3 ESV

and if you pay attention to the one who wears the fine clothing and say, "You sit here in a good place," while you say to the poor man, "You stand over there," or, "Sit down at my feet,"

Jas 2:3 ASV

and ye have regard to him that weareth the fine clothing, and say, Sit thou here in a good place; and ye say to the poor man, Stand thou there, or sit under my footstool;

Jas 2:4 ESV

have you not then made distinctions among yourselves and become judges with evil thoughts?

Jas 2:4 ASV

Do ye not make distinctions among yourselves, and become judges with evil thoughts?

Jas 2:5 ESV

Listen, my beloved brothers, has not God chosen those who are poor in the world to be rich in faith and heirs of the kingdom, which he has promised to those who love him?

Jas 2:5 ASV

Hearken, my beloved brethren; did not God choose them that are poor as to the world to be rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which he promised to them that love him?

Jas 2:6 ESV

But you have dishonored the poor man. Are not the rich the ones who oppress you, and the ones who drag you into court?

Jas 2:6 ASV

But ye have dishonored the poor man. Do not the rich oppress you, and themselves drag you before the judgment-seats?

Jas 2:7 ESV

Are they not the ones who blaspheme the honorable name by which you were called?

Jas 2:7 ASV

Do not they blaspheme the honorable name by which ye are called?

Jas 2:8 ESV

If you really fulfill the royal law according to the Scripture, "You shall love your neighbor as yourself," you are doing well.

Jas 2:8 ASV

Howbeit if ye fulfil the royal law, according to the scripture, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself, ye do well:

Jas 2:9 ESV

But if you show partiality, you are committing sin and are convicted by the law as transgressors.

Jas 2:9 ASV

but if ye have respect of persons, ye commit sin, being convicted by the law as transgressors.

Jas 2:10 ESV

For whoever keeps the whole law but fails in one point has become accountable for all of it.

Jas 2:10 ASV

For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet stumble in one point, he is become guilty of all.

Jas 2:11 ESV

For he who said, "Do not commit adultery," also said, "Do not murder." If you do not commit adultery but do murder, you have become a transgressor of the law.

Jas 2:11 ASV

For he that said, Do not commit adultery, said also, Do not kill. Now if thou dost not commit adultery, but killest, thou art become a transgressor of the law.

Jas 2:12 ESV

So speak and so act as those who are to be judged under the law of liberty.

Jas 2:12 ASV

So speak ye, and so do, as men that are to be judged by a law of liberty.

Jas 2:13 ESV

For judgment is without mercy to one who has shown no mercy. Mercy triumphs over judgment.

Jas 2:13 ASV

For judgment is without mercy to him that hath showed no mercy: mercy glorieth against judgment.

James 2:14-26

Jas 2:14 ESV

What good is it, my brothers, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can that faith save him?

Jas 2:14 ASV

What doth it profit, my brethren, if a man say he hath faith, but have not works? can that faith save him?

Jas 2:15 ESV

If a brother or sister is poorly clothed and lacking in daily food,

Jas 2:15 ASV

If a brother or sister be naked and in lack of daily food,

Jas 2:16 ESV

and one of you says to them, "Go in peace, be warmed and filled," without giving them the things needed for the body, what good is that?

Jas 2:16 ASV

and one of you say unto them, Go in peace, be ye warmed and filled; and yet ye give them not the things needful to the body; what doth it profit?

Jas 2:17 ESV

So also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead.

Jas 2:17 ASV

Even so faith, if it have not works, is dead in itself.

Jas 2:18 ESV

But someone will say, "You have faith and I have works." Show me your faith apart from your works, and I will show you my faith by my works.

Jas 2:18 ASV

Yea, a man will say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: show me thy faith apart from thy works, and I by my works will show thee my faith.

Jas 2:19 ESV

You believe that God is one; you do well. Even the demons believe--and shudder!

Jas 2:19 ASV

Thou believest that God is one; thou doest well: the demons also believe, and shudder.

Jas 2:20 ESV

Do you want to be shown, you foolish person, that faith apart from works is useless?

Jas 2:20 ASV

But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith apart from works is barren?

Jas 2:21 ESV

Was not Abraham our father justified by works when he offered up his son Isaac on the altar?

Jas 2:21 ASV

Was not Abraham our father justified by works, in that he offered up Isaac his son upon the altar?

Jas 2:22 ESV

You see that faith was active along with his works, and faith was completed by his works;

Jas 2:22 ASV

Thou seest that faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect;

Jas 2:23 ESV

and the Scripture was fulfilled that says, "Abraham believed God, and it was counted to him as righteousness"--and he was called a friend of God.

Jas 2:23 ASV

and the scripture was fulfilled which saith, And Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned unto him for righteousness; and he was called the friend of God.

Jas 2:24 ESV

You see that a person is justified by works and not by faith alone.

Jas 2:24 ASV

Ye see that by works a man is justified, and not only by faith.

Jas 2:25 ESV

And in the same way was not also Rahab the prostitute justified by works when she received the messengers and sent them out by another way?

Jas 2:25 ASV

And in like manner was not also Rahab the harlot justified by works, in that she received the messengers, and sent them out another way?

Jas 2:26 ESV

For as the body apart from the spirit is dead, so also faith apart from works is dead.

Jas 2:26 ASV

For as the body apart from the spirit is dead, even so faith apart from works is dead.

James 3:1-18

Jas 3:1 ESV

Not many of you should become teachers, my brothers, for you know that we who teach will be judged with greater strictness.

Jas 3:1 ASV

Be not many of you teachers, my brethren, knowing that we shall receive heavier judgment.

Jas 3:2 ESV

For we all stumble in many ways. And if anyone does not stumble in what he says, he is a perfect man, able also to bridle his whole body.

Jas 3:2 ASV

For in many things we all stumble. If any stumbleth not in word, the same is a perfect man, able to bridle the whole body also.

Jas 3:3 ESV

If we put bits into the mouths of horses so that they obey us, we guide their whole bodies as well.

Jas 3:3 ASV

Now if we put the horses' bridles into their mouths that they may obey us, we turn about their whole body also.

Jas 3:4 ESV

Look at the ships also: though they are so large and are driven by strong winds, they are guided by a very small rudder wherever the will of the pilot directs.

Jas 3:4 ASV

Behold, the ships also, though they are so great and are driven by rough winds, are yet turned about by a very small rudder, whither the impulse of the steersman willeth.

Jas 3:5 ESV

So also the tongue is a small member, yet it boasts of great things. How great a forest is set ablaze by such a small fire!

Jas 3:5 ASV

So the tongue also is a little member, and boasteth great things. Behold, how much wood is kindled by how small a fire!

Jas 3:6 ESV

And the tongue is a fire, a world of unrighteousness. The tongue is set among our members, staining the whole body, setting on fire the entire course of life, and set on fire by hell.

Jas 3:6 ASV

And the tongue is a fire: the world of iniquity among our members is the tongue, which defileth the whole body, and setteth on fire the wheel of nature, and is set on fire by hell.

Jas 3:7 ESV

For every kind of beast and bird, of reptile and sea creature, can be tamed and has been tamed by mankind,

Jas 3:7 ASV

For every kind of beasts and birds, of creeping things and things in the sea, is tamed, and hath been tamed by mankind.

Jas 3:8 ESV

but no human being can tame the tongue. It is a restless evil, full of deadly poison.

Jas 3:8 ASV

But the tongue can no man tame; it is a restless evil, it is full of deadly poison.

Jas 3:9 ESV

With it we bless our Lord and Father, and with it we curse people who are made in the likeness of God.

Jas 3:9 ASV

Therewith bless we the Lord and Father; and therewith curse we men, who are made after the likeness of God:

Jas 3:10 ESV

From the same mouth come blessing and cursing. My brothers, these things ought not to be so.

Jas 3:10 ASV

out of the same mouth cometh forth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be.

Jas 3:11 ESV

Does a spring pour forth from the same opening both fresh and salt water?

Jas 3:11 ASV

Doth the fountain send forth from the same opening sweet water and bitter?

Jas 3:12 ESV

Can a fig tree, my brothers, bear olives, or a grapevine produce figs? Neither can a salt pond yield fresh water.

Jas 3:12 ASV

Can a fig tree, my brethren, yield olives, or a vine figs? Neither can salt water yield sweet.

Jas 3:13 ESV

Who is wise and understanding among you? By his good conduct let him show his works in the meekness of wisdom.

Jas 3:13 ASV

Who is wise and understanding among you? let him show by his good life his works in meekness of wisdom.

Jas 3:14 ESV

But if you have bitter jealousy and selfish ambition in your hearts, do not boast and be false to the truth.

Jas 3:14 ASV

But if ye have bitter jealousy and faction in your heart, glory not and lie not against the truth.

Jas 3:15 ESV

This is not the wisdom that comes down from above, but is earthly, unspiritual, demonic.

Jas 3:15 ASV

This wisdom is not a wisdom that cometh down from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish.

Jas 3:16 ESV

For where jealousy and selfish ambition exist, there will be disorder and every vile practice.

Jas 3:16 ASV

For where jealousy and faction are, there is confusion and every vile deed.

Jas 3:17 ESV

But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, open to reason, full of mercy and good fruits, impartial and sincere.

Jas 3:17 ASV

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

Jas 3:18 ESV

And a harvest of righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace.

Jas 3:18 ASV

And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace for them that make peace.

James 4:1-17

Jas 4:1 ESV

What causes quarrels and what causes fights among you? Is it not this, that your passions are at war within you?

Jas 4:1 ASV

Whence come wars and whence come fightings among you? come they not hence, even of your pleasures that war in your members?

Jas 4:2 ESV

You desire and do not have, so you murder. You covet and cannot obtain, so you fight and quarrel. You do not have, because you do not ask.

Jas 4:2 ASV

Ye lust, and have not: ye kill, and covet, and cannot obtain: ye fight and war; ye have not, because ye ask not.

Jas 4:3 ESV

You ask and do not receive, because you ask wrongly, to spend it on your passions.

Jas 4:3 ASV

Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may spend it in your pleasures.

Jas 4:4 ESV

You adulterous people! Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Therefore whoever wishes to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God.

Jas 4:4 ASV

Ye adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? Whosoever therefore would be a friend of the world maketh himself an enemy of God.

Jas 4:5 ESV

Or do you suppose it is to no purpose that the Scripture says, "He yearns jealously over the spirit that he has made to dwell in us"?

Jas 4:5 ASV

Or think ye that the scripture speaketh in vain? Doth the spirit which he made to dwell in us long unto envying?

Jas 4:6 ESV

But he gives more grace. Therefore it says, "God opposes the proud, but gives grace to the humble."

Jas 4:6 ASV

But he giveth more grace. Wherefore the scripture saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace to the humble.

Jas 4:7 ESV

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

Jas 4:7 ASV

Be subject therefore unto God; but resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

Jas 4:8 ESV

Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded.

Jas 4:8 ASV

Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye doubleminded.

Jas 4:9 ESV

Be wretched and mourn and weep. Let your laughter be turned to mourning and your joy to gloom.

Jas 4:9 ASV

Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to heaviness.

Jas 4:10 ESV

Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will exalt you.

Jas 4:10 ASV

Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall exalt you.

Jas 4:11 ESV

Do not speak evil against one another, brothers. The one who speaks against a brother or judges his brother, speaks evil against the law and judges the law. But if you judge the law, you are not a doer of the law but a judge.

Jas 4:11 ASV

Speak not one against another, brethren. He that speaketh against a brother, or judgeth his brother, speaketh against the law, and judgeth the law: but if thou judgest the law, thou art not a doer of the law, but a judge.

Jas 4:12 ESV

There is only one lawgiver and judge, he who is able to save and to destroy. But who are you to judge your neighbor?

Jas 4:12 ASV

One only is the lawgiver and judge, even he who is able to save and to destroy: but who art thou that judgest thy neighbor?

Jas 4:13 ESV

Come now, you who say, "Today or tomorrow we will go into such and such a town and spend a year there and trade and make a profit"--

Jas 4:13 ASV

Come now, ye that say, To-day or to-morrow we will go into this city, and spend a year there, and trade, and get gain:

Jas 4:14 ESV

yet you do not know what tomorrow will bring. What is your life? For you are a mist that appears for a little time and then vanishes.

Jas 4:14 ASV

whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. What is your life? For ye are a vapor, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away.

Jas 4:15 ESV

Instead you ought to say, "If the Lord wills, we will live and do this or that."

Jas 4:15 ASV

For that ye ought to say, If the Lord will, we shall both live, and do this or that.

Jas 4:16 ESV

As it is, you boast in your arrogance. All such boasting is evil.

Jas 4:16 ASV

But now ye glory in your vauntings: all such glorying is evil.

Jas 4:17 ESV

So whoever knows the right thing to do and fails to do it, for him it is sin.

Jas 4:17 ASV

To him therefore that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin.

James 5:1-9

Jas 5:1 ESV

Come now, you rich, weep and howl for the miseries that are coming upon you.

Jas 5:1 ASV

Come now, ye rich, weep and howl for your miseries that are coming upon you.

Jas 5:2 ESV

Your riches have rotted and your garments are moth-eaten.

Jas 5:2 ASV

Your riches are corrupted, and your garments are moth-eaten.

Jas 5:3 ESV

Your gold and silver have corroded, and their corrosion will be evidence against you and will eat your flesh like fire. You have laid up treasure in the last days.

Jas 5:3 ASV

Your gold and your silver are rusted; and their rust shall be for a testimony against you, and shall eat your flesh as fire. Ye have laid up your treasure in the last days.

Jas 5:4 ESV

Behold, the wages of the laborers who mowed your fields, which you kept back by fraud, are crying out against you, and the cries of the harvesters have reached the ears of the Lord of hosts.

Jas 5:4 ASV

Behold, the hire of the laborers who mowed your fields, which is of you kept back by fraud, crieth out: and the cries of them that reaped have entered into the ears of the Lord of Sabaoth.

Jas 5:5 ESV

You have lived on the earth in luxury and in self-indulgence. You have fattened your hearts in a day of slaughter.

Jas 5:5 ASV

Ye have lived delicately on the earth, and taken your pleasure; ye have nourished your hearts in a day of slaughter.

Jas 5:6 ESV

You have condemned and murdered the righteous person. He does not resist you.

Jas 5:6 ASV

Ye have condemned, ye have killed the righteous one; he doth not resist you.

Jas 5:7 ESV

Be patient, therefore, brothers, until the coming of the Lord. See how the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the earth, being patient about it, until it receives the early and the late rains.

Jas 5:7 ASV

Be patient therefore, brethren, until the coming of the Lord. Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, being patient over it, until it receive the early and latter rain.

Jas 5:8 ESV

You also, be patient. Establish your hearts, for the coming of the Lord is at hand.

Jas 5:8 ASV

Be ye also patient; establish your hearts: for the coming of the Lord is at hand.

Jas 5:9 ESV

Do not grumble against one another, brothers, so that you may not be judged; behold, the Judge is standing at the door.

Jas 5:9 ASV

Murmur not, brethren, one against another, that ye be not judged: behold, the judge standeth before the doors.

James 5:10-20

Jas 5:10 ESV

As an example of suffering and patience, brothers, take the prophets who spoke in the name of the Lord.

Jas 5:10 ASV

Take, brethren, for an example of suffering and of patience, the prophets who spake in the name of the Lord.

Jas 5:11 ESV

Behold, we consider those blessed who remained steadfast. You have heard of the steadfastness of Job, and you have seen the purpose of the Lord, how the Lord is compassionate and merciful.

Jas 5:11 ASV

Behold, we call them blessed that endured: ye have heard of the patience of Job, and have seen the end of the Lord, how that the Lord is full of pity, and merciful.

Jas 5:12 ESV

But above all, my brothers, do not swear, either by heaven or by earth or by any other oath, but let your "yes" be yes and your "no" be no, so that you may not fall under condemnation.

Jas 5:12 ASV

But above all things, my brethren, swear not, neither by the heaven, nor by the earth, nor by any other oath: but let your yea be yea, and your nay, nay; that ye fall not under judgment.

Jas 5:13 ESV

Is anyone among you suffering? Let him pray. Is anyone cheerful? Let him sing praise.

Jas 5:13 ASV

Is any among you suffering? Let him pray. Is any cheerful? Let him sing praise.

Jas 5:14 ESV

Is anyone among you sick? 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.

Jas 5:14 ASV

Is any among you sick? 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:

Jas 5:15 ESV

And the prayer of faith will save the one who is sick, and the Lord will raise him up. And if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven.

Jas 5:15 ASV

and the prayer of faith shall save him that is sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, it shall be forgiven him.

Jas 5:16 ESV

Therefore, confess your sins to one another and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person has great power as it is working.

Jas 5:16 ASV

Confess therefore your sins one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The supplication of a righteous man availeth much in its working.

Jas 5:17 ESV

Elijah was a man with a nature like ours, and he prayed fervently that it might not rain, and for three years and six months it did not rain on the earth.

Jas 5:17 ASV

Elijah was a man of like passions with us, and he prayed fervently that it might not rain; and it rained not on the earth for three years and six months.

Jas 5:18 ESV

Then he prayed again, and heaven gave rain, and the earth bore its fruit.

Jas 5:18 ASV

And he prayed again; and the heaven gave rain, and the earth brought forth her fruit.

Jas 5:19 ESV

My brothers, if anyone among you wanders from the truth and someone brings him back,

Jas 5:19 ASV

My brethren, if any among you err from the truth, and one convert him;

Jas 5:20 ESV

let him know that whoever brings back a sinner from his wandering will save his soul from death and will cover a multitude of sins.

Jas 5:20 ASV

let him know, that he who converteth a sinner from the error of his way shall save a soul from death, and shall cover a multitude of sins.
