1 James, a bondservant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ: to the twelve tribes who are scattered over the world. All good wishes. 2 Reckon it nothing but joy, my brethren, whenever you find yourselves hedged in by various trials. 3 Be assured that the testing of your faith leads to power of endurance. 4 Only let endurance have perfect results so that you may become perfect and complete, deficient in nothing. 5 And if any one of you is deficient in wisdom, let him ask God for it, who gives with open hand to all men, and without upbraiding; and it will be given him. 6 But let him ask in faith and have no doubts; for he who has doubts is like the surge of the sea, driven by the wind and tossed into spray. 7 A person of that sort must not expect to receive anything from the Lord-- James 1:1-7, Weymouth New Testament.
