1 James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, To the twelve tribes scattered among the nations: Greetings.

2 My brethren, count it all joy, when you shall fall into divers temptations:

2 Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds,

3 Knowing that the trying of your faith worketh patience

3 because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance.

4 And patience hath a perfect work: that you may be perfect and entire, failing in nothing.

4 Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.

5 But if any of you want wisdom, let him ask of God who giveth to all men abundantly and upbraideth not. And it shall be given him.

5 If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you.

6 But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea, which is moved and carried about by the wind.

6 But when you ask, you must believe and not doubt, because the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind.
