James 1

1 James. A slave of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ. To the twelve tribes scattered far and wide. Greetings!

12 The person who stands strong in hard times is blessed! After they pass the test, they will get the crown of life. The Lord promised that crown to everyone who loves him.

19 Listen to this, my dear brothers and sisters. Be quick to hear! Slow to talk! Slow to get mad!
