1 a]James, a bond-servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ,
To the twelve tribes who are b]dispersed abroad: Greetings.
2 Consider it all joy, my brethren, when you encounter various c]trials, 3 knowing that the testing of your faith produces d]endurance. 4 And let e]endurance have its perfect f]result, so that you may be g]perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.
