Legacy Standard Bible
5 But if any of you (A)lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all generously and [a]without reproach, and (B)it will be given to him. 6 But he must (C)ask in faith, (D)doubting nothing, for the one who doubts is like the surf of the sea, (E)driven and tossed by the wind. 7 For that man ought not to expect that he will receive anything from the Lord, 8 being a [b](F)double-minded man, (G)unstable in all his ways.

James 1:5-8
New Living Translation
5 If you need wisdom, ask our generous God, and he will give it to you. He will not rebuke you for asking. 6 But when you ask him, be sure that your faith is in God alone. Do not waver, for a person with divided loyalty is as unsettled as a wave of the sea that is blown and tossed by the wind. 7 Such people should not expect to receive anything from the Lord. 8 Their loyalty is divided between God and the world, and they are unstable in everything they do.
