Now if any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives to all generously and without criticizing, and it will be given to him.

That person should not expect to receive anything from the Lord.

The brother of humble circumstances should boast in his exaltation,

but the one who is rich should boast in his humiliation because he will pass away like a flower of the field.

No one undergoing a trial should say, “I am being tempted by God.” For God is not tempted by evil, and He Himself doesn’t tempt anyone.

Not many should become teachers, my brothers, knowing that we will receive a stricter judgment,

Praising and cursing come out of the same mouth. My brothers, these things should not be this way.

Who is wise and has understanding among you? He should show his works by good conduct with wisdom’s gentleness.

Instead, you should say, “If the Lord wills, we will live and do this or that.”

Is anyone among you suffering? He should pray. Is anyone cheerful? He should sing praises.

Is anyone among you sick? He should call for the elders of the church, and they should pray over him after anointing him with olive oil in the name of the Lord.

let him know that whoever turns a sinner from the error of his way will save his life from death and cover a multitude of sins.
