James 1:4

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

James 4:3

3 When you ask, you do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, that you may spend what you get on your pleasures.

James 5:9

9 Don’t grumble against one another, brothers and sisters, or you will be judged. The Judge is standing at the door!

James 5:12

12 Above all, my brothers and sisters, do not swear—not by heaven or by earth or by anything else. All you need to say is a simple “Yes” or “No.” Otherwise you will be condemned.
