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.  

The Perspective of Rich and Poor

9 Let the lowly brother glory in his exaltation,
10 but the rich in his humiliation, because aas a flower of the field he will pass away.
