On Temptations
SUMMARY OF JAMES 1: Rejoicing in Trial. Seeking Wisdom. Stability
Urged. The Source of Temptation. The Fountain of All Blessings.
Pure and Undefiled Religion.
James. See Introduction concerning the writer. He is called by
Paul (Galatians 1:19) and by Josephus the brother of Jesus.

from the title assumed that James was not an apostle. With only a few
exceptions the Epistles begin with a reference to the apostleship of
the writer.
To the twelve tribes. The Jews are often so designated. See
Exodus 24:4 28:21 39:14 Eze 47:13 Mt 19:28 Lu 22:30 Ac 26:7 Re 21:12.
Which are scattered abroad. Rather "of the Dispersion", a term
applied to Jews outside of Judea.
