James
1
1
From James, a slave of God and the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes dispersed abroad. Greetings!
2
My brothers and sisters, consider it nothing but joy when you fall into all sorts of trials,
3
because you know that the testing of your faith produces endurance.
4
And let endurance have its perfect effect, so that you will be perfect and complete, not deficient in anything.
5
But if anyone is deficient in wisdom, he should ask God, who gives to all generously and without reprimand, and it will be given to him.
6
But he must ask in faith without doubting, for the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed around by the wind.
7
For that person must not suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord,
8
since he is a double-minded individual, unstable in all his ways.
9
Now the believer of humble means should take pride in his high position.
10
But the rich person's pride should be in his humiliation, because he will pass away like a wildflower in the meadow.
11
For the sun rises with its heat and dries up the meadow; the petal of the flower falls off and its beauty is lost forever. So also the rich person in the midst of his pursuits will wither away.
