1 From James, a servant of God and of our Lord Jesus Christ.Greetings to the twelve tribes scattered all over the world.
2 My friends, be glad, even if you have a lot of trouble.
3 You know that you learn to endure by having your faith tested.
4 But you must learn to endure everything, so that you will be completely mature and not lacking in anything.
5 If any of you need wisdom, you should ask God, and it will be given to you. God is generous and won't correct you for asking.
