And let patience have a perfect work; that ye may be perfect and entire, lacking in nothing.

But, if any of you is lacking in wisdom, let him ask from God, Who giveth to all liberally, and upbraideth not; and it will be given him;

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

For let not that man suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord;

But let the lowly brother glory in his high station;

Let no one, when tempted, say, "I am tempted from God"; for God cannot be tempted with evils, and He Himself tempteth no one.

Ye know this, my beloved brethren; but let every man be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath;

Who is wise and intelligent among you? Let him show, by his good conduct, his works in meekness of wisdom.

Be wretched, and mourn, and weep; let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to heaviness!

But above all things, my brethren, swear not, either by Heaven, or by earth, or by any other oath; but let yours be "the yes, yes," and "the no, no"; that ye fall not under condemnation.

Is anyone among you afflicted? let him pray. Is anyone cheerful? let him sing praise.

Is anyone among you sick? let him call for the elders of the assembly; and let them pray over him, having anointed him with oil in the name of the Lord;

let him know that he who converted a sinner from the error of his way, will save a soul from death, and cover a multitude of sins.
