| 1:1 | जेम्स, servant of God and of our Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes of the dispersion, greetings. |
| 1:2 | मेरा दाजुभाइहरु, when you have fallen into various trials, consider everything a joy, |
| 1:3 | knowing that the proving of your faith exercises patience, |
| 1:4 | and patience brings a work to perfection, so that you may be perfect and whole, deficient in nothing. |
| 1:5 | But if anyone among you is in need of wisdom, let him petition God, who gives abundantly to all without reproach, and it shall be given to him. |
| 1:6 | But he should ask with faith, doubting nothing. For he who doubts is like a wave on the ocean, which is moved about by the wind and carried away; |
| 1:7 | then a man should not consider that he would receive anything from the Lord. |
| 1:8 | For a man who is of two minds is inconstant in all his ways. |
| 1:9 | अब नम्र भाइले आफ्नो उच्चतामा गर्व गर्नुपर्छ, |
| 1:10 | र एक धनी, उनको अपमान मा, किनभने त्यो घाँसको फूल जस्तै मर्नेछ. |
| 1:11 | किनकि घाम चर्को तातोले उदाएको छ, र घाँस सुक्यो, र यसको फूल झरेको छ, र यसको सुन्दरताको उपस्थिति नष्ट भएको छ. त्यसरी नै धनी पनि ओइलाउनेछ, उसको मार्ग अनुसार. |
