Note that the OET uses ‘Yacob’ for ‘The Letter of Jacob’ (wrongly called ‘James’ in older Bibles).
This is still a very early look into the unfinished text of the Open English Translation of the Bible. Please double-check the text in advance before using in public.

1 Yakōbos/(Yaˊₐqoⱱ) , of _ god and of _ the _ master Yaʸsous/(Yə hōshūˊa) chosen _ one/messiah , twelve , a _ slave to _ the tribes which are in the dispersion :
to _ be_ greeting .
2 All joy consider it , brothers of _ me , whenever trials you _ all_ may_ fall_ among various , 3 knowing that the proving of _ you_ all the faith is _ producing endurance .
4 And the endurance work its _ perfect let _ be_ having , in _ order_ that you _ all_ may_ be perfect and complete , in nothing lacking .
5 But if anyone of _ you_ all is _ lacking of _ wisdom , him _ let_ be_ requesting from the giving , god , to _ all generously , and not deriding , and it _ will_ be_ being_ given to _ him .
6 But him _ let_ be_ requesting in faith , nothing doubting , because/for the doubting is _ like to _ a _ wave of _ the _ sea , being _ blown and being _ tossed .
7 For/Because not let _ be_ supposing the person that that he _ will_ be_ receiving anything from the master , 8 a _ man double-minded , disturbance in all the ways of _ him .
9 And let _ be_ boasting the brother the humble , in the height of _ him , 10 and the rich , in the humiliation of _ him , because like a _ flower of _ the _ grass he _ will_ be_ passing_ away .
11 For/Because rose the sun with its scorching _ heat , and withered the grass , and the flower of _ it fell _ from , and the beauty of _ the appearance of _ it perished .
Thus also the rich man among the pursuits of _ him will _ be_ being_ faded_ away .
12 Blessed is the _ man who is _ enduring trial , because approved having _ become , he _ will_ be_ receiving the crown of _ the _ life , that he _ promised to _ the loving him .
13 No _ one being _ tempted let _ be_ saying , that By god I _ am_ being_ tempted .
For/Because the god untemptable is by _ evil , and is _ tempting he no _ one .
14 But each is _ being_ tempted by his own lust , being _ drawn_ away and being _ enticed .
15 Thereafter the desire having _ conceived is _ bearing sin , and the sin having _ been_ finished_ out , is _ bringing_ forth death .
16 Not be _ being_ misled , brothers of _ me beloved .
17 Every giving good , and every gift perfect from _ above is , coming _ down from the father of _ the _ lights , with whom not there _ is variation or of _ shifting shadow .
18 Having _ been_ wished it , he _ brought_ forth us by _ the _ message of _ truth , in _ order that to _ be us first-fruit a _ certain of _ the of _ him creatures .
19 Be _ having/_ known , brothers of _ me beloved .
But let _ be every person quick in _ order that to _ hear , slow in _ order that to _ speak , slow to anger , 20 for/because the _ severe_ anger of _ a _ human , the _ righteousness of _ god not is _ producing .
21 Therefore having _ put_ away all filthiness and abundance of _ evil , in gentleness receive the implanted message , the being _ able to _ save the souls of _ you_ all .
22 And be _ becoming doers of _ the _ message , and not only listeners deluding yourselves .
23 Because if anyone a _ listener of _ the _ message is , and not a _ doer , this is _ like to _ man observing his face of _ the _ existence of _ him in a _ mirror .
24 For/Because he _ observed himself and has _ gone_ away , and immediately he _ forgot what _ kind he _ was .
25 But the having _ investigated into the _ law perfect , the law of _ the _ freedom , and having _ continued_ with it , not a _ listener of _ forgetful having _ become , but a _ doer of _ the _ work , this blessed in the doing of _ him will _ be .
26 If anyone is _ supposing religious to _ be , not bridling the _ tongue of _ himself , but seducing the _ heart of _ him , of _ this useless is his religion .
27 Religion pure and undefiled before our god and father this is :
to _ be_ visiting orphans and widows in the tribulation of _ them , spotless himself to _ be_ keeping from the world .
