¹ James, a Servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, greets The Twelve Tribes that are living abroad. ² My Brothers, whatever may be the temptations that beset you from time to time, always regard them as a reason for rejoicing, ³ Knowing, as you do, that the testing of your faith develops endurance. ⁴ And let endurance do its work perfectly, so that you may be altogether perfect, and in no respect deficient. ⁵ If one of you is deficient in wisdom, let him ask wisdom from the God who gives freely to every one without reproaches, and it will be given to him. ⁶ But let him ask with confidence, never doubting; for the man who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven hither and thither at the mercy of the wind-- ⁷ Such a man must not expect that he will receive anything from the Lord, ⁸ Vacillating as he is, irresolute at every turn. ⁹ Let a Brother in humble circumstances be proud of his exalted position, but a rich Brother of his humiliation; ¹⁰ For the rich man will pass away 'like the flower of the grass.' ¹¹ As the sun rises, and the hot wind blows, 'the grass withers, its flower fades,' and all its beauty is gone. So is it with the rich man. In the midst of his pursuits he will come to an untimely end. ¹² Blessed is the man who remains firm under temptation, for, when he has stood the test, he will receive the crown of Life, which the Lord has promised to those who love him. ¹³ Let no one say, when he is tempted, "It is God who is tempting me!"

⁹ But his reply has been-- 'My help is enough for you; for my strength attains its perfection in the midst of weakness.' Most gladly, then, will I boast all the more of my weaknesses, so that the strength of the Christ may overshadow me. ¹⁰ That is why I delight in weakness, ill-treatment, hardship, persecution, and difficulties, when borne for Christ. For, when I am weak, then it is that I am strong!
