If any of you lacke wisedome, let him aske of God, that giueth to all men liberally, and vpbraideth not: and it shalbe giuen him.
1:6

For let not that man thinke that he shall receiue any thing of the Lord.
1:8

A double minded man is vnstable in all his wayes.

Let the brother of low degree, reioyce in that he is exalted:
1:10

But the rich, in that hee is made low: because as the floure of the grasse he shall passe away.
1:11

For the Sunne is no sooner risen with a burning heate, but it withereth the grasse; and the flowre thereof falleth, and the grace of the fashion of it perisheth: so also shall the rich man fade away in his wayes.

Euery good gift, and euery perfect gift is from aboue, & commeth downe from the Father of lights, with whom is no variablenesse, neither shadow of turning.

Wherefore my beloued brethren, let euery man bee swift to heare, slow to speake, slow to wrath.
1:20

For the wrath of man worketh not the righteousnesse of God.
1:21
Waiting
Wherefore lay apart all filthinesse, and superfluitie of naughtinesse, & receiue with meeknesse the engrafted word, which is able to saue your soules.

For if any be a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like vnto a man beholding his naturall face in a glasse:
1:24
Waiting
For hee beholdeth himselfe, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what maner of man he was.

Pure religion and vndefiled before God and the Father, is this, to visit the fatherlesse and widowes in their affliction, and to keepe himselfe vnspotted from the world.
