Ἴστε, ἀδελφοί μου ἀγαπητοί•
1 This a you know, b my beloved brethren.
ἔστω δὲ πᾶς ἄνθρωπος ταχὺς εἰς τὸ ἀκοῦσαι,
But everyone must be quick to hear,
βραδὺς εἰς τὸ λαλῆσαι,
c slow to speak
βραδὺς εἰς ὀργήν•
and d slow to anger;
ὀργὴ γὰρ ἀνδρὸς δικαιοσύνην θεοῦ οὐ κατεργάζεται.
for a the anger of man does not achieve the righteousness of God.

Therefore, a putting aside all filthiness and all 1 that remains of wickedness,
ἐν πραΰτητι,
in 2 humility
actionmanner
δέξασθε τὸν ἔμφυτον λόγον τὸν δυνάμενον σῶσαι τὰς ψυχὰς ὑμῶν.

Γίνεσθε δὲ ποιηταὶ λόγου
a But prove yourselves doers of the word,
καὶ μὴ μόνον ἀκροαταὶ
and not merely hearers
παραλογιζόμενοι ἑαυτούς.
who delude themselves.
actionresult
negativepositive
ὅτι εἴ τις ἀκροατὴς λόγου ἐστὶν καὶ οὐ ποιητής,
For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer,
οὗτος ἔοικεν ἀνδρὶ κατανοοῦντι τὸ πρόσωπον τῆς γενέσεως αὐτοῦ ἐν ἐσόπτρῳ•
he is like a man who looks at his 1 natural face a in a mirror;
κατενόησεν γὰρ ἑαυτὸν καὶ ἀπελήλυθεν καὶ
for once he has looked at himself and gone away,
εὐθέως ἐπελάθετο ὁποῖος ἦν.
1 he has immediately forgotten what kind of person he was.
ὁ δὲ παρακύψας εἰς νόμον τέλειον
But one who looks intently at the perfect law,
τὸν τῆς ἐλευθερίας
a the law of liberty,
καὶ παραμείνας,
and abides by it,
οὐκ ἀκροατὴς ἐπιλησμονῆς γενόμενος
not having become a forgetful hearer
ἀλλὰ ποιητὴς ἔργου,
but 1 an effectual doer,
comparison
οὗτος μακάριος ἐν τῇ ποιήσει αὐτοῦ ἔσται.
this man will be b blessed in 2 what he does.
Εἴ τις δοκεῖ θρησκὸς
If anyone thinks himself to be religious,
εἶναι μὴ χαλιναγωγῶν γλῶσσαν αὐτοῦ
and yet does not 1 a bridle his tongue
ἀλλʼ ἀπατῶν καρδίαν αὐτοῦ,
but deceives his own heart,
alternative
τούτου μάταιος ἡ θρησκεία.
this man’s religion is worthless.
conditional
θρησκεία καθαρὰ καὶ ἀμίαντος παρὰ τῷ θεῷ καὶ πατρὶ αὕτη ἐστίν,
Pure and undefiled religion a in the sight of our God and Father is this:
ἐπισκέπτεσθαι ὀρφανοὺς καὶ χήρας ἐν τῇ θλίψει αὐτῶν,
to b visit c orphans and widows in their distress,
ἄσπιλον ἑαυτὸν τηρεῖν ἀπὸ τοῦ κόσμου.
and to keep oneself unstained 1 by d the world.
