James 1:2-8

2 Consider yourselves happy indeed, my brethren, when you encounter trials of every sort,

3 as men who know well enough that the testing of their faith breeds endurance.

4 Endurance must do its work thoroughly, if you are to be men full-grown in every part, nothing lacking in you.

5 Is there one of you who still lacks wisdom? God gives to all, freely and ungrudgingly; so let him ask God for it, and the gift will come.

6 (Only it must be in faith that he asks, he must not hesitate; one who hesitates is like a wave out at sea, driven to and fro by the wind;

7 such a man must not hope to win any gift from the Lord.

8 No, a man who is in two minds will find no rest wherever he goes.)
