Testing of Your Faith

2Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds,G3450G80G2233G3956G5479G3752G4045G4164G3986 3for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness.G1097G3754G1383G5216G4102G2716G5281 4And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.G1161G2192G5281G2192G5046G2041G2443G5600G5046G2532G3648G3007G1722G3367 5If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him.G1161G1536G5216G3007G4678G154G3844G2316G1325G3956G574G2532G3679G3361G2532G1325G846 6But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea that is driven and tossed by the wind.G1161G154G1722G4102G3367G1252G1063G1252G1503G2830G2281G416G2532G4494 7For that person must not suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord;G1063G3633G3361G1565G444G3633G3754G2983G5100G3844G2962 8he is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.G1374G435G182G1722G3956G846G3598 9Let the lowly brother boast in his exaltation,G1161G2744G80G5011G2744G1722G846G5311 10and the rich in his humiliation, because like a flower of the grass he will pass away.G1161G4145G1722G846G5014G3754G5613G438G5528G3928 11For the sun rises with its scorching heat and withers the grass; its flower falls, and its beauty perishes. So also will the rich man fade away in the midst of his pursuits.G1063G2246G393G4862G2742G2532G3583G5528G2532G438G846G1601G2532G2143G4383G846G622G3779G2532G3133G4145G3133G1722G846G4197 12Blessed is the man who remains steadfast under trial, for when he has stood the test he will receive the crown of life, which God has promised to those who love him.G3107G435G3739G5278G3986G3754G1384G1096G2983G4735G2222G3739G2962G1861G25G846 13Let no one say when he is tempted, "I am being tempted by God," for God cannot be tempted with evil, and he himself tempts no one.G3004G3367G3004G3985G3754G3985G575G2316G1063G2316G551G2076G2556G1161G3985G846G3985G3762 14But each person is tempted when he is lured and enticed by his own desire.G1161G1538G3985G1828G5259G2398G1939G2532G1185 15Then desire when it has conceived gives birth to sin, and sin when it is fully grown brings forth death.G1534G1939G4815G5088G266G1161G266G658G616G2288 16Do not be deceived, my beloved brothers.G4105G3361G4105G3450G27G80 17Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change.G3956G18G1394G2532G3956G5046G1434G2076G509G2597G575G3962G5457G3844G3739G1762G3756G3883G2228G644G5157 18Of his own will he brought us forth by the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures.G1014G616G2248G3056G225G1519G2248G1511G5100G536G846G2938

Hearing and Doing the Word

19Know this, my beloved brothers: let every person be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger;G5620G3450G27G80G2077G3956G444G2077G5036G1519G191G1021G1519G2980G1021G1519G3709 20for the anger of man does not produce the righteousness of God.G1063G3709G435G2716G3756G1343G2316 21Therefore put away all filthiness and rampant wickedness and receive with meekness the implanted word, which is able to save your souls.G1352G659G3956G4507G2532G4050G2549G1209G1722G4240G1721G3056G3588G1410G4982G5216G5590 22But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.G1161G1096G4163G3056G2532G3361G202G3440G3884G1438 23For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man who looks intently at his natural face in a mirror.G3754G1536G2076G202G3056G2532G3756G4163G3778G1503G435G2657G846G1078G4383G1722G2072 24For he looks at himself and goes away and at once forgets what he was like.G1063G2657G1438G2532G565G2532G2112G1950G3697G2258 25But the one who looks into the perfect law, the law of liberty, and perseveres, being no hearer who forgets but a doer who acts, he will be blessed in his doing.G1161G3879G1519G5046G3551G1657G2532G3887G3778G1096G3756G1953G202G235G4163G2041G3778G2071G3107G1722G846G4162 26If anyone thinks he is religious and does not bridle his tongue but deceives his heart, this person's religion is worthless.G1536G1722G5213G1380G1511G2357G5468G3361G846G1100G235G538G846G2588G5127G2356G3152 27Religion that is pure and undefiled before God, the Father, is this: to visit orphans and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained from the world.G2513G2356G2532G283G3844G2316G2532G3962G2076G3778G1980G3737G2532G5503G1722G846G2347G5083G1438G784G575G2889
