1 James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ,To the twelve tribes which are scattered abroad:Greetings.
2 My brothers, count it all joy when you fall into diverse temptations,
3 knowing that the trying of your faith develops patience.
4 But let patience perfect its work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing.
5 If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all men liberally and without criticism, and it will be given to him.
6 But let him ask in faith, without wavering. For he who wavers is like a wave of the sea, driven and tossed with the wind.
