1James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which are of the Dispersion, greeting.

2Count it all joy, my brethren, when ye fall into manifold temptations;

3knowing that the proving of your faith worketh patience.

4And let patience have its perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, lacking in nothing.

5But if any of you lacketh wisdom, let him ask of God, who giveth to all liberally and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.
