Santiago 1:6

6 Pero pida en fe, no dudando nada; porque el que duda, es semejante a la onda del mar, que es movida del viento, y es echada de una parte a otra

Santiago 1:6 Meaning and Commentary

James 1:6

But let him ask in faith
Not only in the faith of the divine Being that God is; but in the faith of the promises he has made; and in the faith of his power and faithfulness to perform them; and in the faith of this, that whatever is asked, according to the will of God, and is for his glory, and his people's good, shall be given.

Nothing wavering;
about the thing asked for, whether it is right or no to ask for it; for that should be settled before it is asked for; nor about the power of God to do it; nor about his will, in things he has declared he will do; nor about his faithfulness to his promises; nor at all questioning but what is proper, suitable, and convenient, will be given in God's own time and way.

For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind
and tossed;
he is troubled, restless, unquiet, and impatient; and he is fickle, inconstant, unstable, and unsettled; and is easily carried away with every wind of doctrine, temptation, and lust.

4 Y la paciencia consuma la obra, para que seáis perfectos y enteros, sin faltar en alguna cosa

5 Y si alguno de vosotros tiene falta de sabiduría, pídala a Dios, (el cual da a todos abundantemente, y sin reproche) y le será dada

6 Pero pida en fe, no dudando nada; porque el que duda, es semejante a la onda del mar, que es movida del viento, y es echada de una parte a otra

7 Ciertamente no piense el tal hombre que recibirá ninguna cosa del Señor

8 El hombre de doble ánimo, es inconstante en todos sus caminos
