Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. What is the first word in the book of James in the King James Version?

Answer: James

It says in James 1:1, "James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which are scattered abroad, greeting."

Many believe that the James that wrote the book of James was the half-brother of Jesus. However, there is no evidence to prove this, so we cannot be sure which of the Jameses wrote this book.
2. According to James, a man who endures what shall receive the crown of life?

Answer: temptation

It says in James 1:12, "Blessed is the man that endureth temptation for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love Him."

Temptation is very difficult to resist, but Christians believe this can be done with the help of the Holy Spirit. Others may not believe in "the Holy Spirit" but may believe in a Higher Power to help them through these temptations.
3. According to James Chapter 2, if you only break part of the law, is it okay?

Answer: No

It says in James 2:10, "For whosoever shall keep the whole law and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all."

According to the KJV of the Bible, not only does one break the entire law if s/he breaks any part of it, but also if s/he only sins mentally. If they commit the act in their mind, they are guilty of sin as well (for example, see Matthew 5:28).
4. Complete this verse from James 2:26 (KJV): "For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without ________ is dead also."

Answer: works

Different denominations interpret this verse differently. Some interpret it as saying that one needs to have faith and good works to get into to Heaven. Others believe that one has to be saved by faith alone to get into Heaven. Then, once they are saved, they will do good works to show their faith.
5. In Chapter 3 of James, the Bible talks about a part of the body. What is this body part that is described as untameable, evil, and filled with poison?

Answer: tongue

It says in James 3:8, "But the tongue can no man tame; it is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison."

When a person gossips about another person, spreading untrue rumors, they can cause that person a lot of damage because others might believe the rumors are true.
6. James 3:10 (KJV) says, "Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be." James then goes on to give examples to explain this. Which is *not* an example he gives?

Answer: oil and vinegar

It becomes hypocritical when a person speaks blessings and curses since they are so opposite. For example, to say "I love God with all my heart" and then to say "I hate Joe Schmo" would be hypocritical in this view.
7. Who or what should people resist, according to James 4:7 in the KJV?

Answer: the devil

James 4:7 says, "Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you."

This verse tells readers that with God's help they can overcome the most powerful of temptations.
8. What is life compared to in James 4:14 of the King James Version?

Answer: vapour

It says in James 4:14, "Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away."

In other words, life is short compared to eternity.
9. What does James 5:8 command its readers to be?

Answer: patient

It says in James 5:8, "Be ye also patient; stablish your hearts: for the coming of the Lord draweth nigh."

Christians believe that Jesus is coming back one day, but no one knows when. Therefore we have to be patient.
10. In James 5:11 who does James use as an example of having great patience?

Answer: Job

It says in 5:11, "Behold we count them happy which endure. Ye have heard of the patience of Job, and have seen the end of the Lord; that the Lord is very pitiful, and of tender mercy."

If you are not familiar with the story of Job in the Old Testament, Job was a righteous man. However, a lot of bad things happened to him. Despite everything, he never turned his back on God. Because of his patience and faith he was given everything he lost, two fold.
