But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach; and it will be given to him.

But let him ask in faith, without any doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, driven by the wind and tossed.

However, if you fulfill the royal law, according to the Scripture, "You shall love your neighbor as yourself," you do well.

But if you show partiality, you commit sin, being convicted by the law as transgressors.

So speak, and so do, as men who are to be judged by a law of freedom.

and the Scripture was fulfilled which says, "Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him as righteousness;" and he was called the friend of God.

For as the body apart from the spirit is dead, even so faith apart from works is dead.

You lust, and don't have. You kill, covet, and can't obtain. You fight and make war. You don't have, because you don't ask.

You ask, and don't receive, because you ask with wrong motives, so that you may spend it for your pleasures.

You have lived delicately on the earth, and taken your pleasure. You have nourished your hearts as in a day of slaughter.
