James 1:2-12
2MyG1473 brethrenG80, count itG2233 allG3956 joyG5479 whenG3752 ye fall intoG4045 diversG4164 temptationsG3986; 3KnowingG1097 this, thatG3754 the tryingG3588G1383 of yourG4771 faithG3588G4102 workethG2716 patienceG5281. 4ButG1161 let patienceG5281 haveG2192 her perfectG5046 workG2041, thatG2443 ye may beG1510 perfectG5046 andG2532 entireG3648, wantingG3007 nothingG3367. 5
IfG1487 anyG5100 of youG4771 lackG3007 wisdomG4678, let him askG154 ofG3844 GodG2316, that givethG1325 to allG3956 men liberallyG574, andG2532 upbraidethG3679 notG3361; andG2532 it shall be givenG1325 himG846. 6ButG1161 let him askG154 inG1722 faithG4102, nothingG3367 waveringG1252. ForG1063 he that waverethG1252 is likeG1503 a waveG2830 of the seaG2281 driven with the windG416 andG2532 tossedG4494. 7ForG1063 let notG3361 thatG1565 manG3588G444 thinkG3633 thatG3754 he shall receiveG2983 any thingG5100 ofG3844 the LordG3588G2962. 8A double mindedG1374 manG435 is unstableG182 inG1722 allG3956 hisG846 waysG3588G3598. 9
LetG1161 the brotherG3588G80 of low degreeG5011 rejoiceG2744 inG1722 that heG846 is exaltedG3588G5311: 10ButG1161 the richG4145, inG1722 that heG846 is made lowG3588G5014: becauseG3754 asG5613 the flowerG438 of the grassG5528 he shall pass awayG3928. 11ForG1063 the sunG3588G2246 is no sooner risenG393 withG4862 a burning heatG3588G2742, butG2532 it witherethG3583 the grassG3588G5528, andG2532 the flowerG3588G438 thereofG846 fallethG1601, andG2532 the graceG3588G2143 of the fashionG3588G4383 of itG846 perishethG622: soG3779 alsoG2532 shallG3133 the rich manG4145 fade awayG3133 inG1722 hisG846 waysG3588G4197.
12BlessedG3107 is the manG435 thatG3739 endurethG5278 temptationG3986: forG3754 when he isG1096 triedG1384, he shall receiveG2983 the crownG3588G4735 of lifeG3588G2222, whichG3739 the LordG3588G2962 hath promisedG1861 to themG3588 that loveG25 himG846.
