Consider it nothing but joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you fall into various trials.

and steadfastness must have full play, so that you may be fully and perfectly developed without any defects.

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 the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, driven and tossed by the wind.

For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing from the Lord.

When he is being tempted, let no one say, "It is God who tempts me," for God cannot be tempted with evil, nor does he tempt any man.

Every good and true thing is given to us from heaven, coming from the Father of lights, with whom there is no change or any shade made by turning.

For if any man be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like a man that looks at his natural face in a glass;

If any man thinks he is a religious character among you, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man's religion is vain.

when any one, adorn'd with a gold ring, and a splendid dress, enters into your assembly; and a poor man comes in meanly habited:

My brothers, what good is it if any one says that he has faith, if he has no deeds? Can such faith save him?

Suppose a brother or sister does not have any clothes or daily food

and any one of you may say to them, 'Depart ye in peace, be warmed, and be filled,' and may not give to them the things needful for the body, what is the profit?

Some one indeed may say, "You have faith, and I have deeds." "Then show me your faith," I answer, "apart from any deeds, and I will show you my faith by my deeds."

For in many things we all offend. If any man offend not in word, he is a perfect man, and capable of reining in the whole body.

If any man be wise and endued with learning among you, let him show the works of his good conversation in meekness that is coupled with wisdom.

So any person who knows what is right to do but does not do it, to him it is sin.

But above all things, my brothers, do not swear, neither by heaven, nor by the earth, nor by any other oath; but let your "yes" be "yes," and your "no," "no;" so that you do not fall under judgment.

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

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,

And by the prayer of faith the man who is ill will be made well, and he will be lifted up by the Lord, and for any sin which he has done he will have forgiveness.

My brothers, if any among you wanders from the truth, and someone turns him back,
