But let patience have its perfect work, so that you may be perfect and entire, lacking nothing.

But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and with no reproach, and it shall 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 the wind and tossed.

For do not let that man think that he shall receive anything from the Lord;

But let the humble brother rejoice in his exaltation;

Let no one being tempted say, I am tempted from God. For God is not tempted by evils, and He tempts no one.

Therefore, my beloved brothers, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath.

Who is wise and knowing among you? Let him show his works by his good conduct with meekness of wisdom.

Be afflicted, and mourn and weep. Let your laughter be turned to mourning and your joy to heaviness.

But before all things, my brothers, do not swear; neither by the heaven nor by the earth, nor any other oath. But let your yes be yes, and your no, no, lest you fall into condemnation.

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

Is any 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.
