James 1:5-11
English Standard Version
5 (A)If any of you lacks wisdom, (B)let him ask God, (C)who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him. 6 But (D)let him ask in faith, (E)with no doubting, for the one who doubts is like (F)a wave of the sea that is driven and tossed by the wind. 7 For that person must not suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord; 8 (G)he is a double-minded man, (H)unstable in all his ways.
9 Let the lowly brother boast in his exaltation, 10 and (I)the rich in his humiliation, because (J)like a flower of the grass[a] he will pass away. 11 For the sun rises with its scorching heat and (K)withers the grass; its flower falls, and its beauty perishes. So also will the rich man fade away in the midst of his pursuits.
