5But ifG1487 anyG5100 of you 10lacksG3007 wisdomG4678, let him askG154 of GodG2316, who givesG1325 to allG3956 generouslyG574 and 11withoutG3361 reproachG3679, and 12it will be givenG1325 to him. 6But he must 13askG154 in faithG4102 14withoutG3367 anyG3367 doubtingG1252, for the one who doubtsG1252 is likeG1858 the surfG2830 of the seaG2281, 15drivenG416 and tossedG4494 by the windG4494.
