James a servant of God and the Lord Jesus Christ. To the twelve tribes scattered among the nations. Greetings! Consider it great joy my brothers and sisters whenever you face trials of many kinds because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. Let perserverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete not lacking anything. If any of you lacks wisdom ask god who gives generously to all without finding fault and it will be given to you. But when you ask believe and not doubt for the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea blown and tossed by the wind. That person should not expect to receive anything from Lord. Such a person is double minded and unstable in all that they do. Believers in humble cucumstances ought to take pride in their high position.
