Consider it nothing but joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you fall into various trials.

and steadfastness must have full play, so that you may be fully and perfectly developed without any defects.

If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.

But let him ask for [it] in faith, without any doubting, for the one who doubts is like the surf of the sea, driven by the wind and tossed about.

For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord.

Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man:

Every good and true thing is given to us from heaven, coming from the Father of lights, with whom there is no change or any shade made by turning.

For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass:

If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man's religion is vain.

when any one, adorn'd with a gold ring, and a splendid dress, enters into your assembly; and a poor man comes in meanly habited:

But someone may say, “You [claim to] have faith and I have [good] works; show me your [alleged] faith without the works [if you can], and I will show you my faith by my works [that is, by what I do].”

For in many things we offend all. If any man offend not in word, the same is a perfect man, and able also to bridle the whole body.

If any man be wise and endued with learning among you, let him show the works of his good conversation in meekness that is coupled with wisdom.

So any person who knows what is right to do but does not do it, to him it is sin.

But above all things, my brethren, swear not, neither by heaven, neither by the earth, neither by any other oath: but let your yea be yea; and your nay, nay; lest ye fall into condemnation.

Is any among you afflicted? let him pray. Is any merry? let him sing psalms.

Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord:

And by the prayer of faith the man who is ill will be made well, and he will be lifted up by the Lord, and for any sin which he has done he will have forgiveness.

Brethren, if any of you do err from the truth, and one convert him;
