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.   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.

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

Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.   Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures.   Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath:

For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass:   For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was.   But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.

Hearken, my beloved brethren, Hath not God chosen the poor of this world rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which he hath promised to them that love him?

So speak ye, and so do, as they that shall be judged by the law of liberty.   For he shall have judgment without mercy, that hath shewed no mercy; and mercy rejoiceth against judgment.

Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone.

Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble.

Therewith bless we God, even the Father; and therewith curse we men, which are made after the similitude of God.

But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.

But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.note   And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace.

yet ye have not, because ye ask not.   Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts.

Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded.

Be ye also patient; stablish your hearts

  And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up

The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.
