1. Ya‛aqoḇ, a servant of Elohim and of the Master יהושע Messiah, to the twelve tribes who are in the dispersion: Greetings.
2. My brothers, count it all joy when you fall into various trials,
3. knowing that the proving of your belief works endurance.
4. And let endurance have a perfect work, so that you be perfect and complete, lacking in naught.
5. If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of Elohim, who gives to all generously and without reproach, and it shall be given to him.
6. But he should ask in belief, not doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind.
