And let perseverance have a perfect work, so that ye may be perfect and complete, falling short in nothing.

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.

Now let the lowly brother boast in his exaltation,

Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted by God, for God is without temptation of evils, and he himself tempts no man.

Be not led astray, my beloved brothers.

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

And the tongue is a fire, the world of unrighteousness. Thus, the tongue is made to lead among our body-parts, defiling the whole body, and setting the cycle of nature on fire, and being set on fire by hell.

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

Be ye sorrowful, and mourn, and weep. Let your laughter be turned into mourning, and your joy into a downcast look.

But above all things, my brothers, swear not. Neither by the heaven, nor the earth, nor any other oath, but let your yes be yes, and the no, no, so that ye may not fall into hypocrisy.

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.

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.
