LESSON TWO: JAMES 1:13-27

1. LESSON TWO

2. LIGHT VERSE:
JAMES 1:13-27

3. JAMES 1:13-27(NIV)
13 When
tempted, no one should say,
“God is tempting me.” For God cannot
be tempted by evil, nor does he tempt
anyone;
14 but each person is tempted when
they are dragged away by their
own evil desire and enticed.
15 Then, after desire has conceived, it
gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is
full-grown, gives birth to death.

4. JAMES 1:13-27(NIV)
16 Don’t
be deceived, my dear
brothers and sisters.
17 Every good and perfect gift is from
above, coming down from the Father
of the heavenly lights, who does not
change like shifting shadows.
18 He chose to give us birth through
the word of truth, that we might be a
kind of first fruits of all he created.

5. JAMES 1:13-27(NIV)
19 My
dear brothers and sisters, take
note of this: Everyone should be quick
to listen, slow to speak and slow to
become angry,
20 because human anger does not
produce the righteousness that God
desires.
21 Therefore, get rid of all moral filth
and the evil that is so prevalent and
humbly accept the word planted in
you, which can save you.

6. JAMES 1:13-27(NIV)
22 Do
not merely listen to the
word, and so deceive yourselves. Do
what it says.
23 Anyone who listens to the word but
does not do what it says is like
someone who looks at his face in a
mirror
24 and, after looking at himself, goes
away and immediately forgets what he
looks like.

7. JAMES 1:13-27(NIV)
25 But
whoever looks intently into the perfect
law that gives freedom, and continues in it—
not forgetting what they have heard, but doing
it—they will be blessed in what they do.
26 Those who consider themselves religious
and yet do not keep a tight rein on their
tongues deceive themselves, and their
religion is worthless.
27 Religion that God our Father accepts as
pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans
and widows in their distress and to keep
oneself from being polluted by the world.

8. SEE NO EVIL, HEAR NO
EVIL, SPEAK NO EVIL, DO NO
EVIL
