James 1:2-15

James 1:2-15

[2] brethren,  count it  all  joy  when  ye fall  into divers  temptations;  [3] Knowing  this, that  the trying  faith  worketh  patience.  [4] But  patience  have  her perfect  work,  that  perfect  and  entire,  wanting  nothing.  [5] lack  wisdom,  let him ask  of  God,  that giveth  to all  men liberally,  and  upbraideth  not;  and  it shall be given  him.  [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.  [7] For  not  that  man  think  that  he shall receive  any thing  of  the Lord.  [8] A double minded  man  is unstable  in  all  his  ways.  [9] the brother  of low degree  rejoice  in  that he  is exalted:  [10] But  the rich,  in  that he  is made low:  because  as  the flower  of the grass  he shall pass away.  [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  the rich man  fade away  in  his  ways.  [12] Blessed  is the man  that  endureth  temptation:  for  when he is tried,  he shall receive  the crown  of life,  which  hath promised  to them that love  him.  [13] no man  say  when he is tempted,  of  God:  for  God  cannot be tempted  with evil,  neither  he  any man:  [14] But  every man  is tempted,  when he is drawn away  of  his own  lust,  and  enticed.  [15] Then  when lust  hath conceived,  it bringeth forth  sin:  and  sin,  when it is finished,  bringeth forth  death.
