James 1:5-8

1
James 15-8

• If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God,
  who gives to all liberally and without reproach,
  and it will be given to him. But let him ask in
  faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is
  like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the
  wind. For let not that man suppose that he will
  receive anything from the Lord he is a
  double-minded man, unstable in all his ways
  (NKJV).

2
James 44-8

• Adulterers and adulteresses! Do you not know
  that friendship with the world is enmity with
  God? Whoever therefore wants to be a friend of
  the world makes himself an enemy of God. Or do
  you think that the Scripture says in vain, The
  Spirit who dwells in us yearns jealously? But He
  gives more grace

3
James 44-8

• ...Therefore He says God resists the proud,
  But gives grace to the humble. Therefore submit
  to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from
  you. Draw near to God and He will draw near to
  you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners and purify
  your hearts, you double-minded.
