3Sometimes just one verse of scripture can change the world.

3有時候一節經文就足以改變世界。

4James 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).

4雅各書1:5看似是一項簡單的忠告——假如你缺乏智慧,可以求問神,但是當14歲的約瑟·斯密讀到這節經文時,「它似乎以極大的力量進入〔他〕心中的每一個感覺」(約瑟·斯密——歷史1:12)。

5Thus inspired, Joseph acted on James’s admonition and sought wisdom from God through prayer.

5約瑟受到啟發,於是便按照雅各的勸告採取行動,透過祈禱向神尋求智慧。

6And God did indeed give liberally, giving Joseph one of the most remarkable heavenly visitations in human history—the First Vision.

6而神確實厚賜給他,祂賜給約瑟人類歷史上最重要的一次上天的造訪——第一次異象。

7This vision changed the course of Joseph’s life and led to the Restoration of the Church of Jesus Christ on the earth.

7這次異象改變了約瑟的一生,促成耶穌基督的教會在地面上復興。

8All of us are blessed today because Joseph Smith read and acted on James 1:5.

8今日我們所有的人,都因約瑟·斯密研讀並按照雅各書1:5採取行動而蒙受祝福。

9What will you find as you study the Epistle of James?

9你研讀雅各書時又會有什麼發現呢?

10Perhaps a verse or two will change you or someone you love.

10也許會有一二節經文改變你,或你所愛的人。

11You may find guidance as you seek to fulfill your mission in life.

11在你尋求完成今生的使命時,給你指引;

12You may find encouragement to speak kindly or to be more patient.

12或者鼓勵你說溫和語、要更有耐心。

13Whatever inspires you, let these words “enter … into every feeling of [your] heart.”

13無論你受到哪節經文的啟發,讓這些話「進入〔你〕心中的每一個感覺。」

14Remember to “receive with meekness the … word,” as James wrote, “which is able to save your souls” (James 1:21).

14如雅各所寫的,記得要「存溫柔的心領受……〔這〕道,就是能救你們靈魂的道」(雅各書1:21)。

James
雅各書
Who was James?
雅各是誰?

15It 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.

15一般認為,雅各書的作者是馬利亞的兒子,馬利亞是耶穌基督的母親,因此本書的作者就是救主同母異父的兄弟。

16James is mentioned in Matthew 13:55; Mark 6:3; Acts 12:17; 15:13; 21:18; and Galatians 1:19; 2:9.

16馬太福音13:55、馬可福音6:3、使徒行傳12:17、15:13、21:18和加拉太書1:19、2:9都有提到雅各。

17It appears from these scriptures that James was a Church leader in Jerusalem and had been called as an Apostle (see Galatians 1:19).

17從這些經文看來,雅各是耶路撒冷的教會領袖,並且蒙召喚擔任使徒(見加拉太書1:19)。

19“We want what we want, and we want it now.

19我們就是想要心裡要的,而且立刻就要。

20Therefore, the very idea of patience may seem unpleasant” (“Continue in Patience,” Ensign or Liahona, May 2010, 56).

20因此,一想到忍耐,可能會感到不愉快」(「繼續忍耐」,2010年5月,利阿賀拿,第56頁)。

21After reading James 1:2–4; 5:7–11, what would you say was James’s main message about patience?

27It might be interesting to also read about Abraham and Rahab, two examples James mentioned (see Genesis 22:1–12; Joshua 2).

27雅各提到了亞伯拉罕和喇合(見創世記22:1-12;約書亞記第2章),閱讀這兩個例子或許也會很有意思。

28How did they show that they had faith in God?

28他們如何表明對神的信心?

29Reading 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.

34What does each comparison or image suggest about the words we speak?

35想一想你可以做什麼事,用你所說的話造福某個人(見教約108:7)。

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。(36-39)

James 2:1–9
雅各書2:1-9
As a disciple of Jesus Christ, I should love all people, regardless of their circumstances.

47James 3 includes many images that could inspire memorable object lessons to help your family remember to speak kindly.

47雅各書第3章包含了許多意象,可以啟發你用一些實物課程來幫助家人記得要說溫和語。

48For 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).

48比方說,你們可以討論一絲小火花或火柴如何能引發大火,家人可以想一想什麼時候不和善的言詞曾經導致問題發生(見第5-6節)。

49Or you could serve something sour or bitter in something that is usually used for sweet food—such as lemon juice in a honey jar.

49你也可以在一個通常用來做甜食的東西裡,加入一些酸或苦的東西,例如在一罐蜂蜜中加入檸檬汁。

50This could lead to a discussion about ensuring that our words are sweet and uplifting (see verses 9–14).
