In context

1 James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, To the twelve tribes of the Dispersion: Greetings.

2 Consider it pure joy, my brothers, when you encounter trials of many kinds,

3 because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance.

4 Allow perseverance to finish its work, so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.

5 Now if any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him.

6 But he must ask in faith, without doubting, because he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind.

7 That man should not expect to receive anything from the Lord.
