James 1:3-12

Anderson(i) 3 knowing that the trial of your faith produces patience. 4 But let patience have its work perfected, that you may be perfect and faultless, wanting in nothing. 5 Now, if any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally, and upbraids not; and it shall be given him. 6 But let him ask in faith, doubting not: for he that doubts, is like a wave of the sea, driven by the wind, and tossed. 7 For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing from the Lord. 8 A double-minded man is unstable in all his ways. 9 Let the brother that is in a lowly condition, glory in his exaltation: 10 but he that is rich, in his humiliation; because as the flower of the grass he shall pass away. 11 For the sun rises with its burning heat, and withers the grass, and its flower falls, and the beauty of its form perishes. So, also, shall the rich man fade away in his ways. 12 Blessed is the man that endures trial: for, being approved, he shall receive the crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love him.
