[1:2] My friends, consider yourselves fortunate when all kinds of trials come your way,
[1:3] for you know that when your faith succeeds in facing such trials, the result is the ability to endure.
[1:4] Make sure that your endurance carries you all the way without failing, so that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing.
[1:5] But if any of you lack wisdom, you should pray to God, who will give it to you; because God gives generously and graciously to all.
[1:6] But when you pray, you must believe and not doubt at all. Whoever doubts is like a wave in the sea that is driven and blown about by the wind.
