James 1:2

1 James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, sends words of love to the twelve tribes of the Jews living in all parts of the earth.

2 Let it be all joy to you, my brothers, when you undergo tests of every sort;

3 Because you have the knowledge that the testing of your faith gives you the power of going on in hope;

4 But let this power have its full effect, so that you may be made complete, needing nothing.

5 But if any man among you is without wisdom, let him make his request to God, who gives freely to all without an unkind word, and it will be given to him.

6 Let him make his request in faith, doubting nothing; for he who has doubt in his heart is like the waves of the sea, which are troubled by the driving of the wind.

7 Let it not seem to such a man that he will get anything from the Lord;
