O Lord, truly I am thy servant; I am thy servant, and the son of thine handmaid: thou hast loosed my bonds.
O Lord, for thy servant's sake, and according to thine own heart, hast thou done all this greatness, in making known all these great things.
I am thy servant; give me understanding, that I may know thy testimonies.
And of thy mercy cut off mine enemies, and destroy all them that afflict my soul: for I am thy servant.
O turn unto me, and have mercy upon me; give thy strength unto thy servant, and save the son of thine handmaid.
The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me; because the Lord hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the broken-hearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound;
If any man serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall also my servant be: if any man serve me, him will my Father honor.
For there stood by me this night the angel of God, whose I am, and whom I serve,
But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life.
James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, To the twelve tribes which are scattered abroad, Greeting.
