James 1:4

Trials, Testing, And Faith

³ Know that the testing of your faith produces patience (endurance). ⁴ And let endurance have its perfect result, so that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing. ⁵ If any of you lacks wisdom let him ask of God. He gives to all generously and without reproach and it will be given to him.
