James 1:2-8

New King James Version

Profiting from Trials

² My brethren, ^(A)count it all joy ^(B)when you fall into various trials, ^3 (C)knowing that the testing of your faith produces ^[a]patience. ⁴ But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be ^[b]perfect and complete, lacking nothing. ^5 (D)If any of you lacks wisdom, ^(E)let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and ^(F)it will be given to him. ^6 (G)But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind. ⁷ For let not that man suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord; ⁸ he is ^(H)a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.
