2 Count it all joy, my brothers, whenever you fall into various trials,
3 Knowing that the proving of your faith works out endurance.
4 And let endurance have its perfect work that you may be perfect and entire, lacking in nothing.
5 But if any one of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and does not reproach, and it will be given to him.
12 Blessed is the man who endures trial, because when he has become approved by testing, he will receive the crown of life, which He promised to those who love Him.
13 Let no one say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God; for God cannot be tempted of evil, and He Himself tempts no one.
14 But each one is tempted when he is drawn away and enticed by his own lusts;
15 Then the lust, having conceived, gives birth to sin; and the sin, when it is fully grown, brings forth death.
16 Do not be deceived, my beloved brothers.
19 You know this, my beloved brothers; but let every man be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath;
20 For the wrath of man does not accomplish the righteousness of God.
21 Therefore putting away all filthiness and the abundance of malice, receive in meekness the implanted word, which is able to save your souls.
22 And become doers of the word and not hearers only, who delude themselves.
26 If anyone thinks himself to be religious and yet does not bridle his tongue but deceives his heart, this one's religion is vain.
