My brothers and sisters, think of the various tests you encounter as occasions for joy. After all, you know that the testing of your faith produces endurance.

But anyone who needs wisdom should ask God, whose very nature is to give to everyone without a second thought, without keeping score. Wisdom will certainly be given to those who ask.

Know this, my dear brothers and sisters: everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to grow angry.

Let this endurance complete its work so that you may be fully mature, complete, and lacking in nothing.

You must be doers of the word and not only hearers who mislead themselves.

Those who stand firm during testing are blessed. They are tried and true. They will receive the life God has promised to those who love him as their reward.

Every good gift, every perfect gift, comes from above. These gifts come down from the Father, the creator of the heavenly lights, in whose character there is no change at all.

Those who hear but don’t do the word are like those who look at their faces in a mirror. They look at themselves, walk away, and immediately forget what they were like.

True devotion, the kind that is pure and faultless before God the Father, is this: to care for orphans and widows in their difficulties and to keep the world from contaminating us.

No one who is tested should say, “God is tempting me!” This is because God is not tempted by any form of evil, nor does he tempt anyone. Everyone is tempted by their own cravings; they are lured away and enticed by them.

Brothers and sisters who are poor should find satisfaction in their high status.
