But if any of you lack wisdom, let him ask God, who gives to all cheerfully and upbraids none; and it will be given unto him.

But let him ask in faith, doubting as to nothing; for he that doubts is like unto a wave of the sea driven by the winds and tossed by the tempest.

Happy is the man who endures temptation: because, being proved, he will receive a crown of life, which God has promised to those who love him with divine love.

Hear, my beloved brethren. Has not God chosen the poor in the world rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which he has promised to those who love him with divine love?

For judgment is without mercy to him that shows no mercy; but mercy glorieth against judgment.

But what is it profitable, my brethren, if one may say he has faith, but has not works? whether is faith able to save him?

and the scripture was fulfilled, saying, And Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called the friend of God.

Who is wise and instructed among you? Let him show forth out of beautiful conduct his works in meekness of wisdom.

Therefore to him that knows to do good, and does it not, to him it is sin.

Who is afflicted among you? let him pray. Who is merry? let him sing psalms.

Is any one sick among you? 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.

Truly the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord will raise him up; if he may have committed sins, they shall be forgiven unto him.

My brethren, if any one among you may err from the truth, and one may turn him back;

let him know, that the one having turned a sinner from the error of his way shall save a soul from death, and hide a multitude of sins.
