James 1:2-5

21Consider it all joy, my brethren, when you encounter 2various 3trials, 3knowing that 4the testing of your 5faith produces 67endurance. 4And let 89endurance have its perfect 10result, so that you may be 1112perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.

5But if any of you 13lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all generously and 14without reproach, and 15it will be given to him.
