James 1:2-12

2Count it all joyG5479, my brethren, whenG3752 ye fall into manifold temptations; 3knowingG1097 that the proving of your faithG4102 worketh patience. 4And let patience have its perfectG5046 workG2041, that ye may beG1510 perfectG5046 and entire, lackingG3007 in nothingG3367.

5But if any of you lacketh wisdomG4678, let him askG154 of GodG2316, who giveth to all liberally and upbraideth not; and it shall be givenG1325 him. 6But let him askG154 in faithG4102, nothingG3367 doubtingG1252: for he that doubteth is like the surge of the seaG2281 driven by the wind and tossed. 7For let not that manG444 think that he shall receiveG2983 anythingG5100 of the LordG2962; 8a doubleminded manG435, unstable in all his waysG3598.

9But let the brotherG80 of low degree glory in his highG5311 estate: 10and the richG4145, in that he is made low: because as the flowerG438 of the grassG5528 he shall passG3928 awayG3928. 11For the sunG2246 ariseth with the scorching wind, and withereth the grassG5528; and the flowerG438 thereof falleth, and the grace of the fashion of it perisheth: so alsoG2532 shall the richG4145 manG4145 fade awayG3583 in his goings.

12Blessed is the manG435 that endureth temptationG3986; for whenG1096 he hath been approved, he shall receiveG2983 the crownG4735 of lifeG2222, which the Lord promisedG1861 to them that loveG25 him.
