2
Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds,
3
because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance.
4
Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.
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
That person should not expect to receive anything from the Lord.
8
Such a person is double-minded and unstable in all they do.
