James 1:2-11

2ConsiderG2233 it pureG3956 joyG5479, myG1473 brothersG80, whenG3752 you encounterG4045 trialsG3986 of many kindsG4164, 3because you knowG1097 thatG3754 theG3588 testingG1383 of yourG4771 faithG4102 developsG2716 perseveranceG5281. 4AllowG2192 perseveranceG5281 to finishG5046 its workG2041, so thatG2443 you may beG1510 matureG5046 andG2532 completeG3648, not lackingG3007 anything.

5NowG1161 ifG1487 anyG5100 of youG4771 lacksG3007 wisdomG4678, he should askG154G3844 GodG2316, whoG3588 givesG1325 generouslyG574 to allG3956 withoutG3361 finding faultG3679, andG2532 it will be givenG1325 to himG846. 6ButG1161 he must askG154 inG1722 faithG4102, withoutG3367 doubtingG1252, becauseG1063 he whoG3588 doubtsG1252 is likeG1503 a waveG2830 of the seaG2281, blownG416 andG2532 tossed by the windG4494. 7ThatG1565 manG444 should notG3361 expectG3633 to receiveG2983 anythingG5100 fromG3844 theG3588 LordG2962. 8He is a double-mindedG1374 manG435, unstableG182 inG1722 allG3956 hisG846 waysG3598.

TheG3588 brotherG80 in humble circumstancesG5011 should exultG2744 inG1722 hisG846 high positionG5311. 10ButG1161 theG3588 one who is richG4145 should exult inG1722 hisG846 low positionG5014, becauseG3754 he will pass awayG3928 likeG5613 a flowerG438 of the fieldG5528. 11ForG1063 theG3588 sunG2246 risesG393 withG4862 scorching heatG2742 andG2532 withersG3583 theG3588 plantG5528; itsG846 flowerG438 fallsG1601 andG2532 its beautyG2143G846G3588G4383 is lostG622. SoG3779 tooG2532, theG3588 richG4145 man will fade awayG3133 in the midst ofG1722 hisG846 pursuitsG4197.
