James Chapter 1 : 1-10 - World English Bible [WEB]

  • World English Bible [WEB]
American Standard Version [ASV] King James Version [KJV] Webster's Bible [WB] World English Bible [WEB]
  • The Letter from James
  • 1 James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which are in the Dispersion: Greetings.
  • 2 Count it all joy, my brothers, when you fall into various temptations,
  • 3 knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance.
  • 4 Let endurance have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.
  • 5 But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach; and it will be given to him.
  • 6 But let him ask in faith, without any doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, driven by the wind and tossed.
  • 7 For let that man not think that he will receive anything from the Lord.
  • 8 He is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.
  • 9 But let the brother in humble circumstances glory in his high position;
  • 10 and the rich, in that he is made humble, because like the flower in the grass, he will pass away.

  • The Letter from James
  • Greeting
  • 1 James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, greets the twelve tribes that are living abroad.
  • Advice on Various Subjects
  • 2 My friends, whatever trials you may face from time to time, always regard them as a reason for rejoicing,
  • 3 knowing, as you do, that the testing of your faith develops endurance.
  • 4 And let endurance do its work perfectly, so that you may be altogether perfect, and in no respect lacking.
  • 5 If any one of you lacks wisdom, they should ask wisdom from the God who gives freely to everyone without reproach, and it will be given to them.
  • 6 But they should ask with confidence, never doubting; for the person who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven here and there at the mercy of the wind –
  • 7 Such a person must not expect that they will receive anything from the Lord,
  • 8 vacillating as they are, irresolute at every turn.
  • 9 Let a follower in humble circumstances be proud of their exalted position,
  • 10 but a rich follower of their humiliation; for the rich will pass away like a wild flower.

What is the Sinner's Prayer for Salvation?

The sinners prayer is a common Christian term for a prayer that is said when someone wants to repent of their sin, ask God for forgiveness, and verbally state their belief in the life, death, and saving resurrection of Jesus Christ.

"For, if with your lips you acknowledge the truth of the message that JESUS IS LORD, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For with their hearts people believe and so attain to righteousness, while with their lips they make their Profession of faith and so find salvation." Romans 10:9-10

Christ's death on the cross paid in full the debt of our sin. Action must be taken to take hold of the gift.

Dear God, I know that I am a sinner and there is nothing that I can do to save myself. I confess my complete helplessness to forgive my own sin or to work my way to heaven through any good works. At this moment I trust Christ alone and receive by faith all Grace purchased by Jesus as the One who bore my sin when He died on the cross. I believe that He did all that will ever be necessary for me to stand in your holy presence. I thank you that Christ was raised from the dead as a guarantee of my own resurrection. As best as I can, I now transfer my trust to Him and by my faith take hold of His grace and love for me. I am grateful that He has promised to receive me despite my many sins and failures. Thank you for your word that will guide me as to how I should live my remaining days. Please grant me the wisdom to discern correctly and motivation to grow my faith, obedience, understanding, appreciation, and love for you. Thank you for your Grace and mercy that I do not deserve. Thank you that my salvation is not based on my level of performance in my short life but in my receiving what your victory on the cross did pay for. Thank you that I can receive by my faith alone, your glorious gift of salvation. Thank you for hearing this prayer and for saving me. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.
