James 1

James 1

James opens by instructing believers to consider it pure joy when they face trials, because the testing of their faith develops perseverance, leading to maturity. He advises anyone lacking wisdom to ask God without doubting. James teaches that every good and perfect gift comes from God. He warns believers to be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to become angry. True religion involves looking after orphans and widows and keeping oneself unpolluted by the world.
