And let patience have its perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, lacking in nothing.

But if any of you lacketh wisdom, let him ask of God, who giveth to all liberally and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.

But let him ask in faith, nothing doubting: for he that doubteth is like the surge of the sea driven by the wind and tossed.

For let not that man think that he shall receive anything of the Lord;

But let the brother of low degree glory in his high estate:

Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God; for God cannot be tempted with evil, and he himself tempteth no man:

Ye know this , my beloved brethren. But let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath:

Who is wise and understanding among you? let him show by his good life his works in meekness of wisdom.

Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to heaviness.

But above all things, my brethren, swear not, neither by the heaven, nor by the earth, nor by any other oath: but let your yea be yea, and your nay, nay; that ye fall not under judgment.

Is any among you suffering? Let him pray. Is any cheerful? Let him sing praise.

Is any among you sick? 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:

let him know, that he who converteth a sinner from the error of his way shall save a soul from death, and shall cover a multitude of sins.
