TRIALS AND TEMPTATIONS: JAMES 1:2-8

Trials and Temptations

² Consider it Pure Joy, My Brothers and Sisters,^[a] Whenever You Face Trials of Many Kinds, ³ Because You Know That the Testing of Your Faith Produces Perseverance. ⁴ Let Perseverance Finish its Work so That You May Be Mature and Complete, not Lacking Anything. ⁵ If Any of You Lacks Wisdom, You Should Ask God, Who Gives Generously to All Without Finding Fault, and it Will Be Given to You. ⁶ But When You Ask, You Must Believe and Not Doubt, Because the One Who Doubts is Like a Wave of the Sea, Blown and Tossed by the Wind. ⁷ That Person Should Not Expect to Receive Anything From the Lord. ⁸ Such a Person is Double-minded and Unstable in All They Do.
