and let the endurance have a perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire -- in nothing lacking;

and if any of you do lack wisdom, let him ask from God, who is giving to all liberally, and not reproaching, and it shall be given to him;

and let him ask in faith, nothing doubting, for he who is doubting hath been like a wave of the sea, driven by wind and tossed,

for let not that man suppose that he shall receive anything from the Lord --

And let the brother who is low rejoice in his exaltation,

Let no one say, being tempted -- 'From God I am tempted,' for God is not tempted of evil, and Himself doth tempt no one,

and each one is tempted, by his own desires being led away and enticed,

Be not led astray, my brethren beloved;

So then, my brethren beloved, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger,

lo, also the ships, being so great, and by fierce winds being driven, are led about by a very small helm, whithersoever the impulse of the helmsman doth counsel,

Who is wise and intelligent among you? let him shew out of the good behaviour his works in meekness of wisdom,

be exceeding afflicted, and mourn, and weep, let your laughter to mourning be turned, and the joy to heaviness;

And before all things, my brethren, do not swear, neither by the heaven, neither by the earth, neither by any other oath, and let your Yes be Yes, and the No, No; that under judgment ye may not fall.

Doth any one suffer evil among you? let him pray; is any of good cheer? let him sing psalms;

is any infirm among you? 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 did turn back a sinner from the straying of his way shall save a soul from death, and shall cover a multitude of sins.
