1 ) James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which are scattered abroad, greeting.
-
2 ) My brethren, count it all joy when all of you fall into divers temptations,
-
3 ) Knowing this, that the trying of your faith works patience.
-
4 ) But let patience have her perfect work, that all of you may be perfect and entire, lacking nothing.
-
5 ) If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that gives to all men liberally, and reproaches not, and it shall be given him.
-
6 ) But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavers is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed.
-
7 ) For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord.
-
8 ) A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.
