2 My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations;

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

3 Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience.

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

4 But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.

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

5 If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, 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 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.

7 For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord.

7 That person should not expect to receive anything from the Lord.

8 A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.

8 Such a person is double-minded and unstable in all they do.
