James 1

5 Now if any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God — who gives to all generously and ungrudgingly — and it will be given to him.  * 1:5 1Kg 3:9; Pr 2:3–6; Mt 7:76 But let him ask in faith without doubting.  * 1:6 Or without divided loyalties For the doubter is like the surging sea, driven and tossed by the wind. 7 That person should not expect to receive anything from the Lord, 8 being double-minded and unstable in all his ways.  * 1:8 Or in all his conduct,* 1:8 Jms 4:8; 2Pt 2:14
