And if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask from God who gives to all generously and not reproaching, and it will be given to him.

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

Blessed is a man who endures temptation, because, having become approved, he will receive the crown of life, which the Lord promised to those who love him.

and ye have regard for the man wearing the bright clothing, and say to him, Sit thou here well, and ye say to the poor man, Stand thou there, or sit here below my footstool,

Listen, my beloved brothers, did not God choose the poor of the world, rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom, which he promised to those who love him?

For the judgment is merciless to him who did no mercy. Mercy triumphs over judgment.

What is the benefit, my brothers, if some man should say to have faith, but has no works? Can the faith save him?

And the scripture was fulfilled, which says, And Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned to him for righteousness, and he was called a friend of God.

Who is wise and understanding among you? Let him show from his good behavior his works in mildness of wisdom.

He therefore who knows to do good, and is not doing it, to him it is sin.

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

Is any man weak among you? Let him summon the elders of the congregation, and let them pray near him, having anointed him with olive oil in the name of the Lord.

And the prayer of faith will rescue him who is depressed, and the Lord will rouse him. And if he should be a man who has committed sins, they will be forgiven him.

Brothers, if any man among you may be led astray from the truth, and some man converts him,

let him know that he who converts a sinful man from his wandering way, will save a soul from death, and will hide a multitude of sins.
