2. Count it all joy, my brothers, when you fall into various temptations,
3. knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance.
4. Let endurance have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.
5. But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach; and it will be given to him.
6. But let him ask in faith, without any doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, driven by the wind and tossed.
7. For that man shouldn’t think that he will receive anything from the Lord.
8. He is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.
9. But let the brother in humble circumstances glory in his high position;
10. and the rich, in that he is made humble, because like the flower in the grass, he will pass away.
11. For the sun arises with the scorching wind, and withers the grass, and the flower in it falls, and the beauty of its appearance perishes. So also will the rich man fade away in his pursuits.
12. Blessed is a person who endures temptation, for when he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life, which the Lord promised to those who love him.
