⁶But he should ask with faith, doubting nothing. For he who doubts is like a wave on the ocean, which is moved about by the wind and carried away;

²³Let us hold fast to the confession of our hope, without wavering, for he who has promised is faithful.

³knowing that the proving of your faith exercises patience,

⁷Therefore, be subject to God. But resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

⁶But without faith, it is impossible to please God. For whoever approaches God must believe that he exists, and that he rewards those who seek him.

¹⁶Therefore, confess your sins to one another, and pray for one another, so that you may be saved. For the unremitting prayer of a just person prevails over many things.

⁶But he should ask with faith, doubting nothing. For he who doubts is like a wave on the ocean, which is moved about by the wind and carried away; ⁷then a man should not consider that he would receive anything from the Lord. ⁸For a man who is of two minds is inconstant in all his ways.

⁹And so, let us not be deficient in doing good. For in due time, we shall reap without fail.

¹⁴Wait for the Lord, act manfully; and let your heart be strengthened, and remain with the Lord.

¹³Because of this, take up the armor of God, so that you may be able to withstand the evil day and remain perfect in all things.

⁸Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners! And purify your hearts, you duplicitous souls!
