Jas 1:2
My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations;
Jas 1:3 Knowing this, that theJ trying of your faith worketh patience.
Jas 1:4
But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire,
wanting nothing.
Jas 1:5
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.
Jas 1:6
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.
as 1:7For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord.
1:8 A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.
Jas 1:9 Let the brother of low degree rejoice in that he is exalted:
as 1:10 But the rich, in that he is made low: because as the flower of the grass he shall pass away.
Jas 1:12
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.
Jas 1:13
Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man:
1:14 But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed.

1:21
Wherefore putting away all filthiness and overflowing of wickedness, receive with meekness the implanted word, which is able to save your souls.
Jas 1:22
But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deluding your own selves.
Jas 1:23 For if any one is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like unto a man
beholding his
natural face in a mirror:
23. Jas 1:24for he beholdeth himself, and goeth away, and straightway
forgetteth what manner of man he was.
Jas 1:25 But he that looketh into the perfect law, the law of liberty, and so
continueth,
being not a hearer that forgetteth but a doer that worketh, this man shall be
blessed in his doing.
Jas 1:26
If any man thinketh himself to be religious, while he bridleth not his tongue
but deceiveth his heart, this man's religion is vain.
Jas 1:27 Pure religion and undefiled before our God and Father is this, to visit the
fatherless and idows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unspotted from the
world.
