James 1:1-121 James, of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ a servant, to the Twelve Tribes who are in the dispersion: Hail!2 All joy count [it], my brethren, when ye may fall into temptations manifold;3 knowing that the proof of your faith doth work endurance,4 and let the endurance have a perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire — in nothing lacking;5 and if any of you do lack wisdom, let him ask from God, who is giving to all liberally, and not reproaching, and it shall be given to him;6 and let him ask in faith, nothing doubting, for he who is doubting hath been like a wave of the sea, driven by wind and tossed,7 for let not that man suppose that he shall receive anything from the Lord –8 a two-souled man [is] unstable in all his ways.9 And let the brother who is low rejoice in his exaltation,10 and the rich in his becoming low, because as a flower of grass he shall pass away;11 for the sun did rise with the burning heat, and did wither the grass, and the flower of it fell, and the grace of its appearance did perish, so also the rich in his way shall fade away!12 Happy the man who doth endure temptation, because, becoming approved, he shall receive the crown of the life, which the Lord did promise to those loving Him.
