James 1:1 In-Context

1 James, the servant of God and of our Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which are scattered abroad, greeting.
2 My brethren, count it all joy, when you shall fall into divers temptations:
3 Knowing that the trying of your faith worketh patience
4 And patience hath a perfect work: that you may be perfect and entire, failing in nothing.
5 But if any of you want wisdom, let him ask of God who giveth to all men abundantly and upbraideth not. And it shall be given him.
