James 1:2-5
New American Standard Bible 1995
2 (A)Consider it all joy, my brethren, when you encounter (B)various [a]trials, 3 knowing that (C)the testing of your (D)faith produces [b](E)endurance. 4 And let [c](F)endurance have its perfect [d]result, so that you may be [e](G)perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.
5 But if any of you (H)lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all generously and [f]without reproach, and (I)it will be given to him.

James 1:17-22
New American Standard Bible 1995
17 Every good thing given and every perfect gift is (A)from above, coming down from (B)the Father of lights, (C)with whom there is no variation or [a]shifting shadow. 18 In the exercise of (D)His will He (E)brought us forth by (F)the word of truth, so that we would be [b]a kind of (G)first fruits [c]among His creatures.
19 [d]This (H)you know, (I)my beloved brethren. But everyone must be quick to hear, (J)slow to speak and (K)slow to anger; 20 for (L)the anger of man does not achieve the righteousness of God. 21 Therefore, (M)putting aside all filthiness and all [e]that remains of wickedness, in [f]humility receive (N)the word implanted, which is able to save your souls. 22 (O)But prove yourselves doers of the word, and not merely hearers who delude themselves.
