James:1:2-18

nasb@James:1:2 @Consider it all joy, my brethren, when you encounter various trials,

nasb@James:1:3 @knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance.

nasb@James:1:4 @And let endurance have its perfect result, so that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.

nasb@James:1:5 @But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all generously and without reproach, and it will be given to him.

nasb@James:1:6 @But he must ask in faith without any doubting, for the one who doubts is like the surf of the sea, driven and tossed by the wind.

nasb@James:1:7 @For that man ought not to expect that he will receive anything from the Lord,

nasb@James:1:8 @being a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.

nasb@James:1:9 @But the brother of humble circumstances is to glory in his high position;

nasb@James:1:10 @and the rich man is to glory in his humiliation, because like flowering grass he will pass away.

nasb@James:1:11 @For the sun rises with a scorching wind and withers the grass; and its flower falls off and the beauty of its appearance is destroyed; so too the rich man in the midst of his pursuits will fade away.

nasb@James:1:12 @Blessed is a man who perseveres under trial; for once he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love Him.

nasb@James:1:13 @Let no one say when he is tempted, " I am being tempted by God"; for God cannot be tempted by evil, and He Himself does not tempt anyone.

nasb@James:1:14 @But each one is tempted when he is carried away and enticed by his own lust.

nasb@James:1:15 @Then when lust has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and when sin is accomplished, it brings forth death.

nasb@James:1:16 @Do not be deceived, my beloved brethren.

nasb@James:1:17 @Every good thing given and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shifting shadow.

nasb@James:1:18 @In the exercise of His will He brought us forth by the word of truth, so that we would be a kind of first fruits among His creatures.
