James 1:2–12

2 My brethren, fcount it all joy when ye fall into gdivers temptations; 3 Knowing this, that hthe trying of your faith iworketh kpatience. 4 But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be lperfect and entire, wanting nothing. 5 mIf any of you lack wisdom, nlet him ask oof God, that giveth to all men pliberally, and qupbraideth not; and nit shall be given him. 6 But rlet him ask in faith, snothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like ta 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 uA double minded man is vunstable in all his ways. 9 Let the brother of low degree ||rejoice win that he is exalted: 10 But the rich, xin that he is made low: because yas the flower of the grass zhe shall pass away. 11 For the sun is no sooner risen with aa burning heat, but bit withereth the grass, and the flower thereof falleth, and the grace of the fashion of it perisheth: so also shall the rich man fade away in his ways. 12 cBlessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is dtried, he shall receive ethe crown of life, fwhich the Lord hath promised to them that love him.
