James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, To the twelve tribes scattered among the nations: Greetings. **Trials and Temptations** **^2 ^**Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters,^\[[a](https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=James%201&version=NIV#fen-NIV-30269a)\]^ whenever you face trials of many kinds, **^3 ^**because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. **^4 ^**Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. **^5 ^**If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you. **^6 ^**But when you ask, you must believe and not doubt, because the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind. **^7 ^**That person should not expect to receive anything from the Lord. **^8 ^**Such a person is double-minded and unstable in all they do.
