Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance.

If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you.

My dear brothers and sisters, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry

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

Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says.

Blessed is the one who perseveres under trial because, having stood the test, that person will receive the crown of life that the Lord has promised to those who love him.

Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows.

Anyone who listens to the word but does not do what it says is like someone who looks at his face in a mirror and, after looking at himself, goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like.

Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.

When tempted, no one should say, “God is tempting me.” For God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does he tempt anyone; but each person is tempted when they are dragged away by their own evil desire and enticed.

Believers in humble circumstances ought to take pride in their high position.
