But if any one of you is wanting in wisdom, let him ask of God, who giveth to all liberally, and upbraideth not; and it will be given him.

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

a doubleminded man as he is, unstable in all his ways.

but the rich, in that he is made low; because as the flower of the grass he will pass away.

Hearken, my beloved brethren. Did not God choose the poor as to the world to be rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which he promised to them that love him?

If indeed ye fulfill the royal law, according to the scripture, "Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself," ye do well.

But if ye have respect to persons, ye commit sin, and are convicted by the law as transgressors.

So speak, and so do, as they that shall be judged by the law of liberty.

Was not Abraham our father accepted as righteous through works, when he offered Isaac his son upon the altar?

Ye see that by works a man is accounted as righteous, and not by faith only.

And in like manner was not also Rahab the harlot accounted as righteous through works, when she received the messengers, and sent them out another way?

For as the body without the spirit is dead, so also faith without works is dead.

Ye lust, and have not; ye kill, and earnestly covet, and cannot obtain; ye fight and war. Ye have not, because ye ask not;

ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts.

your gold and silver is rusted, and the rust of them will be a witness against you, and will eat your flesh as fire; ye have heaped up treasure in the last days!
