James 1:3-6

3knowing that 1the testing of your 2faith produces 34endurance. 4And let 56endurance have its perfect 7result, so that you may be 89perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.

5But if any of you 10lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all generously and 11without reproach, and 12it will be given to him. 6But he must 13ask in faith 14without any doubting, for the one who doubts is like the surf of the sea, 15driven and tossed by the wind.
