James 1:2-12

« Heb 13James 1James 2 »

2 ^aConsider it all joy, my brothers, when you encounter ^bvarious ¹trials, 3 knowing that ^athe testing of your ^bfaith brings about ^cperseverance. 4 And let ^aperseverance have its perfect work, so that you may be ¹^bperfect and complete, lacking in nothing.
5 But if any of you ^alacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all generously and ¹without reproach, and ^bit will be given to him. 6 But he must ^aask in faith, ^bdoubting nothing, for the one who doubts is like the surf of the sea, ^cdriven and tossed by the wind. 7 For that man ought not to expect that he will receive anything from the Lord, 8 being a ¹^adouble-minded man, ^bunstable in all his ways.
9 ^aBut the ¹brother of humble circumstances is to boast in his high position; 10 and the rich man is to boast in his humiliation, because ^alike ¹flowering grass he will pass away. 11 For the sun rises with ¹^aa scorching heat and ^bwithers the grass; and its flower falls off and the beauty of its appearance is destroyed; so too the rich man in the midst of his pursuits will fade away.
12 ^aBlessed is a man who perseveres under trial; for once he has ¹been approved, he will receive ^bthe crown of life which the Lord ^chas promised to those who ^dlove Him.
