1 James,¹ a servant of God² and of the Lord Jesus Christ, To the twelve tribes³ scattered⁴ among the nations: Greetings.⁵

Trials and Temptations

2 Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds,⁶ 3 because you know that the testing of your faith⁷ produces perseverance.⁸ 4 Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature⁹ and complete, not lacking anything. 5 If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God,¹⁰ who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you.¹¹ 6 But when you ask, you must believe and not doubt,¹² because the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind.
