But if any one of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all freely and reproaches not, and it shall be given to him:

but let him ask in faith, nothing doubting. For he that doubts is like a wave of the sea driven by the wind and tossed about;

and the rich in his humiliation, because as the grass's flower he will pass away.

Hear, my beloved brethren: Has not God chosen the poor as to the world, rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom, which he has promised to them that love him?

If indeed ye keep the royal law according to the scripture, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself, ye do well.

But if ye have respect of persons, ye commit sin, being convicted by the law as transgressors.

So speak ye, and so act, as those that are to be judged by the law of liberty;

And the scripture was fulfilled which says, Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned to him as righteousness, and he was called Friend of God.

For as the body without a spirit is dead, so also faith without works is dead.

Ye lust and have not: ye kill and are full of envy, and cannot obtain; ye fight and war; ye have not because ye ask not.

Ye ask and receive not, because ye ask evilly, that ye may consume it in your pleasures.

Your gold and silver is eaten away, and their canker shall be for a witness against you, and shall eat your flesh as fire. Ye have heaped up treasure in the last days.

Ye have lived luxuriously on the earth and indulged yourselves; ye have nourished your hearts as in a day of slaughter;

Take as an example, brethren, of suffering and having patience, the prophets, who have spoken in the name of the Lord.
