16 Do not err, my beloved brethren.
16 Do G4105 not G3361 err, G4105 my G3450 beloved G27 brethren. G80
16 Be not deceived, my beloved brethren.
16 Be not led astray, my brethren beloved;
16 Do not err, my beloved brethren.
16 Don't be deceived, my beloved brothers.
16 Do not be turned from the right way, dear brothers.
Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.
Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath:
Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God.
And Jesus answering said unto them, Do ye not therefore err, because ye know not the scriptures, neither the power of God?
Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,
Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.
And this I say, lest any man should beguile you with enticing words.
Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.

An Exposition, With Practical Observations, of
The General Epistle of James
Chapter 1
After the inscription and salutation (v. 1) Christians are taught how to conduct themselves when under the cross. Several graces and duties are recommended; and those who endure their trials and afflictions as the apostle here directs are pronounced blessed and are assured of a glorious reward (v. 2-12). But those sins which bring sufferings, or the weakness and faults men are chargeable with under them, are by no means to be imputed to God, who cannot be the author of sin, but is the author of all good (v. 13-18). All passion, and rash anger, and vile affections, ought to be suppressed. The word of God should be made our chief study: and what we hear and know of it we must take care to practise, otherwise our religion will prove but a vain thing. To this is added an account wherein pure religion consists (v. 19-27).
