James 1:2-12 (New American Standard)
View In My Bible
2
1Consider it all joy, my brethren, when you encounter 2various atrials,
3
knowing that 3the testing of your 4faith produces b5endurance.
4
And let c6endurance have its perfect dresult, so that you may be e7perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.
5
But if any of you 8lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all generously and fwithout reproach, and 9it will be given to him.
6
But he must 10ask in faith 11without any doubting, for the one who doubts is like the surf of the sea, 12driven and tossed by the wind.
7
For that man ought not to expect that he will receive anything from the Lord,
8
being a g13double-minded man, 14unstable in all his ways.
9
15But the hbrother of humble circumstances is to glory in his high position ;
10
and the rich man is to glory in his humiliation, because 16like iflowering grass he will pass away.
11
For the sun rises with j17a scorching wind and 18withers the grass ; and its flower falls off and the beauty of its appearance is destroyed ; so too the rich man in the midst of his pursuits will fade away.
12
19Blessed is a man who perseveres under trial ; for once he has kbeen approved, he will receive 20the crown of life which the Lord 21has promised to those who 22love Him.
