And if any one of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and upbraids not, and it shall be given him.

But let him ask in faith, not doubting; for he that doubts is like a wave of the sea, driven with the wind and agitated.

If you keep indeed the royal law according to the Scripture, You shall love your neighbor as yourself, you do well;

but if you respect persons, you commit sin, convicted by the law as transgressors.

So speak and so do, as being about to be judged by the law of liberty.

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

You desire and have not; you kill, and envy, and cannot obtain; you fight and carry on war. You have not, because you do not ask;

you ask and do not receive, because you ask amiss, to expend on your pleasures.

You have the prophets who spoke in the name of the Lord, my brothers, as an example of patience and long-suffering.
