James 1:6

Read in context

James 1:4–8 · Berean Standard Bible

4 Allow perseverance to finish its work, so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.

5 Now if any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him.

6 But he must ask in faith, without doubting, because he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind.

7 That man should not expect to receive anything from the Lord.

8 He is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.
