but let patience have it's perfect work, that ye may be entirely perfect, failing in nothing.

And if any of you lack wisdom, let him ask it of God, who giveth to all men liberally and upbraideth not, and it shall be given him.

But let him ask in faith, nothing doubting; for he that doubteth is like a wave of the sea blown about and tossed by the wind.

Let not that man think that he shall receive any thing from the Lord.

Let the brother that is low rejoice in his exaltation: but the rich in his humiliation,

Let no one that is tempted say, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted by evils, and He tempteth no one.

Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath:

And in like manner also was not the harlot Rahab justified by works, when she entertained the spies, and let them out another way?

Is there any wise and understanding man among you? let him shew his works by a good conversation in the meekness of wisdom:

Be grieved, and mourn, and weep: let your mirth be turned into mourning, and your joy to sadness.

But above all, my brethren, swear not; neither by heaven, nor by the earth, nor any other oath: but let your yea be yea, and your nay nay; that ye may not fall under condemnation.

Is any among you afflicted? let him pray: is any chearful? 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:

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