Jesus

and to a mediator of a new covenant--Jesus, and to blood of sprinkling, speaking better things than that of Abel!

See, may ye not refuse him who is speaking, for if those did not escape who refused him who upon earth was divinely speaking--much less we who do turn away from him who speaketh from heaven,

whose voice the earth shook then, and now hath he promised, saying, `Yet once--I shake not only the earth, but also the heaven;'

so that we do boldly say, `The Lord is to me a helper, and I will not fear what man shall do to me.'

Jesus Christ yesterday and to-day the same, and to the ages;

Wherefore, also Jesus--that he might sanctify through his own blood the people--without the gate did suffer;

now, then, may we go forth unto him without the camp, his reproach bearing;

through him, then, we may offer up a sacrifice of praise always to God, that is, the fruit of lips, giving thanks to His name;

And the God of the peace, who did bring up out of the dead the great shepherd of the sheep--in the blood of an age-during covenant--our Lord Jesus,

make you perfect in every good work to do His will, doing in you that which is well-pleasing before Him, through Jesus Christ, to whom is the glory--to the ages of the ages! Amen.

James, of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ a servant, to the Twelve Tribes who are in the dispersion: Hail!

for let not that man suppose that he shall receive anything from the Lord--

Happy the man who doth endure temptation, because, becoming approved, he shall receive the crown of the life, which the Lord did promise to those loving Him.

having counselled, He did beget us with a word of truth, for our being a certain first-fruit of His creatures.

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

for He who is saying, `Thou mayest not commit adultery,' said also, `Thou mayest do no murder;' and if thou shalt not commit adultery, and shalt commit murder, thou hast become a transgressor of law;

and greater grace he doth give, wherefore he saith, `God against proud ones doth set Himself up, and to lowly ones He doth give grace?'

be made low before the Lord, and He shall exalt you.

instead of your saying, `If the Lord may will, we shall live, and do this or that;'

lo, the reward of the workmen, of those who in-gathered your fields, which hath been fraudulently kept back by you--doth cry out, and the exclamations of those who did reap into the ears of the Lord of Sabaoth have entered;

Be patient, then, brethren, till the presence of the Lord; lo, the husbandman doth expect the precious fruit of the earth, being patient for it, till he may receive rain--early and latter;

be patient, ye also; establish your hearts, because the presence of the Lord hath drawn nigh;

murmur not against one another, brethren, that ye may not be condemned; lo, the Judge before the door hath stood.

An example take ye of the suffering of evil, my brethren, and of the patience, the prophets who did speak in the name of the Lord;

lo, we call happy those who are enduring; the endurance of Job ye heard of, and the end of the Lord ye have seen, that very compassionate is the Lord, and pitying.
