Greeting to the Twelve Tribes

1 James, aa bondservant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, To the twelve tribes which are scattered abroad: Greetings.  

Profiting from Trials

2 My brethren, acount it all joy bwhen you fall into various trials,  
3 aknowing that the testing of your faith produces1 patience.  
4 But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be1 perfect and complete, lacking nothing.  
5 aIf any of you lacks wisdom, blet him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and cit will be given to him.  
6 aBut let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind.  
7 For let not that man suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord;
8 he is aa double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.

James 1:3

the trying—the testing or proving of your faith, namely, by "divers temptations." Compare Romans 5:3, tribulation worketh patience, and patience experience (in the original dokime, akin to dokimion, "trying," here; there it is experience: here the "trying" or testing, whence experience flows).

patience—The original implies more; persevering endurance and continuance (compare Luke 8:15).
