Consider it all simcha, my Achim b'Moshiach, whenever you fall into various nisayonos (tests, trials), Because you have da'as that the emunah you have, when it is tested, produces savlanut (patient endurance).

But if any one of you is lacking chochmah (wisdom), let him direct tefillah (prayer) and techinot (petitions) to HASHEM, the One whose matanot (gifts) are given generously and without grudging, and chochmah will be given to him.

Have da'as of this, my beloved Achim b'Moshiach. Let every man be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to ka'as (anger).

And let savlanut be shleimah in its po'al (work) in order that you may be mevugarim (mature, grown up) and complete, lacking in nothing.

Now be Shomrei HaDvar HASHEM and not Shomei HaDvar only, thereby causing yourselves to fall under remiyah (deceit, deception).

Ashrey is the one who stands up under nisayon (trial), because, having become approved, that one will be given the Ateret HaChayyim (Crown of Life), which HASHEM gave as a havtachah (promise) to those having Ahavas HASHEM.

Every good endowment and every matanah shleimah (complete gift) is from above, coming down from Avi HaOhrot (the Father of Lights) with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning.

Because if anyone is Shomei HaDavar and not Shomrei HaDavar, this one is like a man looking at his ponum in a mirror, For he observed himself and has gone away and immediately forgot what he looked like.

Avodas Kodesh that is tehorah (pure) and tamimah (unblemished) before Elohim HaAv is this: to visit yetomim (orphans) and almanot (widows) in their tzoros and to be shomer against the defilement of the Olam Hazeh.

However, let no one say, when he is tempted, “From HASHEM I am being tempted,” for HASHEM cannot be tempted to crave ra'ah (evil), and He Himself trips up no one with nisayon (temptation). But each one is tempted by his own ta'avah (lust, yetzer hara), being dragged off by it and being allured.

But let the Ach b'Moshiach of shiflut (lowliness) glory in the da'as that HASHEM will exalt him.
