James 1:1 - Forerunner Commentary

James 1:1

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.
