James 1:6-12
6But he must 1askG154 in faithG4102 2withoutG3367 anyG3367 doubtingG1252, for the one who doubtsG1252 is likeG1858 the surfG2830 of the seaG2281, 3drivenG416 and tossedG4494 by the windG4494. 7For that manG444 ought not to expectG3633 that he will receiveG2983 anythingG5100 from the LordG2962, 8being a 45double-mindedG1374 manG435, 6unstableG182 in allG3956 his waysG3598.
97But the 8brotherG80 of humbleG5011 circumstances is to gloryG2744 in his highG5311 positionG5311; 10and the richG4145 manG4145 is to glory in his humiliationG5014, becauseG3754 9likeG5613 10floweringG438 grassG5528 he will passG3928 awayG3928. 11For the sunG2246 risesG393 with 1112a scorchingG2742 windG2742 and 13withersG3583 the grassG5528; and its flowerG438 fallsG1601 offG1601 and the beautyG2143 of its appearanceG4383 is destroyedG622; soG3779 tooG2532 the richG4145 manG4145 in the midst of his pursuitsG4197 will fadeG3133 awayG3133.
1214BlessedG3107 is a manG435 whoG3739 perseveresG5278 under trialG3986; for once he has 15beenG1096 approvedG1384, he will receiveG2983 16the crownG4735 of lifeG2222 whichG3739 the Lord 17has promisedG1861 to thoseG3588 who 18loveG25 Him.
