James 1:2-12
Rejoicing in Trials

2 My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations;

2:

3 Knowing [this], that the trying of your faith worketh patience.

3:

4 But let patience have [her] perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.

4:

5 If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all [men] liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.

5:

6 But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed.

6:

7 For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord.

7:

8 A double minded man [is] unstable in all his ways.

8:

9 Let the brother of low degree rejoice in that he is exalted:

9:

10 But the rich, in that he is made low: because as the flower of the grass he shall pass away.

10:

11 For the sun is no sooner risen with a burning heat, but it withereth the grass, and the flower thereof falleth, and the grace of the fashion of it perisheth: so also shall the rich man fade away in his ways.

11:

12 Blessed [is] the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him.

12:
