James 1:0 - James 1:10
James 1
Intro: We are to rejoice under the cross, to exercise patience -- To ask wisdom of God -- The law of liberty.
1 James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which are scattered abroad, greeting.
2 My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into many afflictions;
3 Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience.
4 But let patience have its perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.
5 If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.
6 But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering; for he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed.
7 For let not that man think that he shall receive anything of the Lord.
8 A double-minded man is unstable in all his ways.
9 Let the brother of low degree rejoice in that he is exalted;
10 But the rich, in that he is made low; because as the flower of the grass he shall pass away.
