Scriptures

New American Standard Bible (NASB)

James 1
⁴ And let endurance have its perfect result, so 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 generously and without reproach, and it will be given to him.
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.
⁷ For that man ought not to expect that he will receive anything from the Lord,
⁸ being a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.
⁹ But the brother of humble circumstances is to glory in his high position;
¹⁰ and the rich man is to glory in his humiliation, because like flowering grass he will pass away.
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.
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.
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.
¹⁴ But each one is tempted when he is carried away and enticed by his own lust.
