Faith and Wisdom 2My brothers and sisters,’ whenever you face trials of any kind, consider it nothing but joy, *because you know that the testing of your faith’ produces en- durance; #and let endurance have its full effect, so that you may be mature and compiete, lacking in nothing. SIf any of you is lacking in wisdom, ask God, who gives to all generously and ungrudgingly, and it will be given you. “But ask in faith, never doubting, for the ‘one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, driven and tossed by the wind; 74for the doubter, being double-minded and un- stable in every way, must not expect to receive anything from the Lord. Poverty and Riches Let the believers who is lowly boast in being raised up, !and the rich in being brought low, because the rich will disap- pear like a flower in the field. "For the sun rises with its scorching heat and crs the field; its flower falls, and its beauty perishes. I is the same way with he rich; in the midst of a busy life, they will wither away.£P08N ARNT 1 V2 06AF PLAS NO Pde yt Whacky 3A ALOR “bd A ACH PANTO PALO? AnAA LAMATS BOTH?

Such a one has stood the test and will receive the crown of life that the Lord has promised 19 those who love him. '3No one, when tempted, should say, “I am being tempted by God"; for God cannot be tempted by evil and he himself tempts no onc. “But one is tempicd by one’s own desire, being lured and enticed by it; Sthen, when that desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin, and that sin, when it is fully grown, gives birth to death, Do not be deceived, my beloved.« 17 Every generous act of giving, with every perfect gift, is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow duc to change. In fulfillment of his own purpose he gave us birth by the word of truth, so that we would become a kind of first fruits of his creatures. Hearing and Doing the Word 19You must understand this, my beloved:s let everyone be quick to listen, slow to speak, slow to anger; for your anger does not produce God's righteous- ness. 2! Therefore rid yoursel of all sordidness and rank growth of wicked- ness, and welcome with meckness the implanted word that has the power to save your souls. 22But be doers of the word, and not merely hearers who deceive themselves. 2For if any are hearers of the word and not doers, they are like those who look at themselves’ in a mirror; *for they look at themselves and, on going away, immediately forget what they were like. 28But those who look into the perfect law, the law of liberty, and persevere, being not hearers who forget but docrs who act—they will be blessed in their doing. 261f any think they are religious, and do not bridle their tongues but deceive their hearts, their religion is worthless.

You believe that God is onc; you do well. Even the demons believe—and shudder. 2Do you want to be shown, you sense- fess person, that faith apart from works is barren? Was not our ancestor Abraham justified by works when he of fered his son Isaac on the altar? You sce that faith was active along with his works, and faith was brought to comple- tion by the works. ?Thus the seripiure was fulfilled that says, “Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned to him as righteousness,” and he was called the friend of God. 4 You see that a person is justified by works and not by faith alone. 38 Likewise, was not Rahab the prostitute also justified by works when she wel- comed the messengers and sent them out by another road? ®For just as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is also dead. 3, Not many of you should become teachers, my brothers and sisters,” for you know that we who teach will be Taming the TongueS41 2ONFF Te VIC NATHAATS!
