James 1 - NLT & NKJV

For you know that when your faith is tested, your endurance has a chance to grow.Knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience.
If you need wisdom, ask our generous God, and he will give it to you. He will not rebuke you for asking.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 when you ask him, be sure that your faith is in God alone. Do not waver, for a person with divided loyalty is as unsettled as a wave of the sea that is blown and tossed by the wind.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.
Believers who are poor have something to boast about, for God has honored them. And those who are rich should boast that God has humbled them. They will fade away like a little flower in the field.Let the lowly brother glory in his exaltation, but the rich in his humiliation, because as a flower of the field he will pass away.
God blesses those who patiently endure testing and temptation. Afterward they will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love him.Blessed is the man who endures temptation; for when he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love Him.
And remember, when you are being tempted, do not say, “God is tempting me.” God is never tempted to do wrong, and he never tempts anyone else.Let no one say when he is tempted, “I am tempted by God”; for God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does He Himself tempt anyone.
Whatever is good and perfect is a gift coming down to us from God our Father, who created all the lights in the heavens. He never changes or casts a shifting shadow.Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning.
He chose to give birth to us by giving us his true word. And we, out of all creation, became his prized possession.Of His own will He brought us forth by the word of truth, that we might be a kind of firstfruits of His creatures.
Understand this, my dear brothers and sisters: You must all be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to get angry.So then, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath.
So get rid of all the filth and evil in your lives, and humbly accept the word God has planted in your hearts, for it has the power to save your souls.Therefore lay aside all filthiness and overflow of wickedness, and receive with meekness the implanted word, which is able to save your souls.
But don’t just listen to God’s word. You must do what it says. Otherwise, you are only fooling yourselves.But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.
But if you look carefully into the perfect law that sets you free, and if you do what it says and don’t forget what you heard, then God will bless you for doing it.But he who looks into the perfect law of liberty and continues in it, and is not a forgetful hearer but a doer of the work, this one will be blessed in what he does.
If you claim to be religious but don’t control your tongue, you are fooling yourself, and your religion is worthless.If anyone among you thinks he is religious, and does not bridle his tongue but deceives his own heart, this one’s religion is useless.
Pure and genuine religion in the sight of God the Father means caring for orphans and widows in their distress and refusing to let the world corrupt you.Pure and undefiled religion before God and the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their trouble, and to keep oneself unspotted from the world.
