1:2-18可視為本書信的引論,雅各在此從「試探」的題目切入,指出收信人當以喜樂、忍耐來面對試探,以致得以「完全」,從而引出「智慧」(1:5)、「心懷二意」(1:8)、「卑微」與「富足」(1:9-10)等之後均再出現的子題。為了排除收信人對「試探」可能會有的誤解,雅各在1:13-15指出,試探真正的來源並非上帝,並在1:16-18指出,「上帝的意願」是用「真理的道」將信徒生出,使他們成為「初熟的果子」。
5:7-20為本書信最後的提醒,5:7首先明確指出,本書信的教導係與主再臨之前收信人所面對的處境有關,而本段落接下來所教導的內容,則與1:2-18的引論多有呼應:5:7-11「要忍耐直到主臨」,呼應了1:3-4的「忍耐」;5:13-18「凡事禱告」,呼應了1:5-6「祈求」的教導;5:19-20「要使罪人回轉」,則可能與1:8提及「心懷二意的人」與1:14-15提及人因私慾而被試探有關。此處再次提及「忍耐」與「禱告」的必要,也暗示了那些按1:19–3:18的勸勉與4:1–5:6的警戒行事為人的「初熟果子」,並不會因有這樣的實踐,就能在主再臨之前,免於1:2-18所提各樣試探的挑戰。至於5:12「不可起誓」所強調言語的誠信一致,則呼應了之前1:19,26; 3:1-12; 4:11-12謹守舌頭與言語的教導。
