<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>1</span>As you read the Epistle of James, pay attention to phrases that stand out to you, and record them.</p>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>2</span>How are you prompted to live these truths?</p>

<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>3</span>Sometimes just one verse of scripture can change the world.</p>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>4</span>James 1:5 seems like a simple bit of counsel—if you need wisdom, ask God. But when 14-year-old Joseph Smith read that verse, “it seemed to enter with great force into every feeling of [his] heart” (Joseph Smith—History 1:12).</p>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>5</span>Thus inspired, Joseph acted on James’s admonition and sought wisdom from God through prayer.</p>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>6</span>And God did indeed give liberally, giving Joseph one of the most remarkable heavenly visitations in human history—the First Vision.</p>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>7</span>This vision changed the course of Joseph’s life and led to the Restoration of the Church of Jesus Christ on the earth.</p>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>8</span>All of us are blessed today because Joseph Smith read and acted on James 1:5.</p>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>9</span>What will you find as you study the Epistle of James?</p>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>10</span>Perhaps a verse or two will change you or someone you love.</p>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>11</span>You may find guidance as you seek to fulfill your mission in life.</p>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>12</span>You may find encouragement to speak kindly or to be more patient.</p>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>13</span>Whatever inspires you, let these words “enter … into every feeling of [your] heart.”</p>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>14</span>Remember to “receive with meekness the … word,” as James wrote, “which is able to save your souls” (James 1:21).</p>

<div class='section'>James</div>
<div class='section'>雅各書</div>
<div class='section'>Who was James?</div>
<div class='section'>雅各是誰？</div>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>15</span>It is generally believed that the author of the Epistle of James was a son of Mary, the mother of Jesus Christ, and therefore the half brother of the Savior.</p>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>16</span>James is mentioned in Matthew 13:55; Mark 6:3; Acts 12:17; 15:13; 21:18; and Galatians 1:19; 2:9.</p>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>17</span>It appears from these scriptures that James was a Church leader in Jerusalem and had been called as an Apostle (see Galatians 1:19).</p>
<div class='section'>James 1:2–4; 5:7–11</div>
<div class='section'>雅各書1：2-4；5：7-11</div>
<div class='section'>Patient endurance leads to perfection.</div>
<div class='section'>耐心忍受考驗會讓我們變得完全。</div>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>18</span>“Waiting can be hard,” President Dieter F. Uchtdorf taught.</p>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>19</span>“We want what we want, and we want it now.</p>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>20</span>Therefore, the very idea of patience may seem unpleasant” (“Continue in Patience,” Ensign or Liahona, May 2010, 56).</p>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>21</span>After reading James 1:2–4; 5:7–11, what would you say was James’s main message about patience?</p>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>22</span>What additional insights do you have after reading the rest of President Uchtdorf’s message?</p>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>23</span>How can you show the Lord that you’re willing to be patient?</p>
<div class='section'>James 1:3–8, 21–25; 2:14–26; 4:17</div>
<div class='section'>雅各書1：3-8，21-25；2：14-26；4：17</div>
<div class='section'>Faith requires action.</div>
<div class='section'>信心必須要有所行動。</div>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>24</span>How do you know if you have faith in Jesus Christ?</p>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>25</span>How do your works demonstrate your faith in God?</p>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>26</span>Think about these questions as you study James’s teachings about faith.</p>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>27</span>It might be interesting to also read about Abraham and Rahab, two examples James mentioned (see Genesis 22:1–12; Joshua 2).</p>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>28</span>How did they show that they had faith in God?</p>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>29</span>Reading James 1:3–8, 21–25; 2:14–26; 4:17 may help you think of ways you could be a better doer of the word.</p>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>30</span>Record any impressions you receive, and make plans to act on them.</p>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>31</span>See also Alma 34:27–29; 3 Nephi 27:21.</p>
<div class='section'>James 1:26; 3:1–18</div>
<div class='section'>雅各書1：26；3：1-18。</div>
<div class='section'>The words I speak have the power to hurt or bless others.</div>
<div class='section'>我說的話能傷人，也能造就人。</div>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>32</span>Among the rich imagery James used throughout his epistle, some of his most vivid language is found in his counsel about language.</p>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>33</span>Consider making a list of all the ways James described the tongue or mouth.</p>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>34</span>What does each comparison or image suggest about the words we speak?</p>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>35</span>Think of something you can do to bless someone with your words (see D&C 108:7).</p>
<div class='section'>James 2:1–9</div>
<div class='section'>雅各書2：1-9</div>
<div class='section'>As a disciple of Jesus Christ, I should love all people, regardless of their circumstances.</div>
<div class='section'>身為耶穌基督的門徒，我應該要愛所有的人，無論他們的出身如何。</div>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>36</span>James warned the Saints specifically against favoring the rich and despising the poor, but his warning can apply to any biases or prejudices we may have toward others.</p>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>37</span>It can be difficult to recognize the ways in which we negatively judge others, but the Lord has promised that He will help us see where we need to improve (see Ether 12:27).</p>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>38</span>As you prayerfully study James 2:1–9, search your own heart and listen for the Holy Ghost’s promptings.</p>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>39</span>Do you sense any changes you need to make in the way you treat or think of others?</p>

<div class='section'>家庭祈禱、家庭經文研讀與家人家庭晚會</div>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>40</span>As you read the scriptures with your family, the Spirit can help you know what principles to emphasize and discuss based on your family’s needs.</p>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>41</span>Here are some suggestions:</p>
<div class='section'>James 1:5</div>
<div class='section'>雅各書 1：5</div>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>42</span>Consider reading James 1:5 and inviting a family member to summarize the account of the First Vision.</p>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>43</span>(see Joseph Smith—History 1:8–13 or the video “Ask of God: Joseph Smith’s First Vision” on LDS.org)</p>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>44</span>Invite family members to share their testimonies of the Prophet Joseph Smith and experiences when Heavenly Father answered their prayers.</p>
<div class='section'>James 1:26–27</div>
<div class='section'>雅各書1：26-27</div>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>45</span>Consider watching the video “True Christianity” (LDS.org) in connection with these verses.</p>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>46</span>Then read James’s definition of pure religion and discuss ways your family can make the practice of your religion more pure.</p>
<div class='section'>James 3</div>
<div class='section'>雅各書第3章</div>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>47</span>James 3 includes many images that could inspire memorable object lessons to help your family remember to speak kindly.</p>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>48</span>For example, you could discuss how a small spark or match can start a large fire, and family members could think of times when an unkind word caused a problem (see verses 5–6).</p>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>49</span>Or you could serve something sour or bitter in something that is usually used for sweet food—such as lemon juice in a honey jar.</p>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>50</span>This could lead to a discussion about ensuring that our words are sweet and uplifting (see verses 9–14).</p>
<div class='section'>James 4:5–8</div>
<div class='section'>雅各書4：5-8</div>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>51</span>Why should we “draw nigh to God” when we face temptation?</p>
<div class='section'>James 5:14–16</div>
<div class='section'>雅各書5：14-16</div>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>52</span>Perhaps sharing a personal experience about receiving a priesthood blessing could encourage family members to “ask for a priesthood blessing when [they] are in need of spiritual power” .</p>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>53</span>(Dallin H. Oaks, “The Importance of Priesthood Blessings,” New Era, July 2012, 4)</p>

<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>55</span>Act on what you learn.</p>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>56</span>As you study, listen to promptings from the Spirit about how you can apply what you are learning to your life.</p>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>57</span>Commit to follow these promptings and live the gospel more fully.</p>
