James 1:4

But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you.

In your patience possess ye your souls.

Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.

That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.

And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.

Make you perfect in every good work to do his will, working in you that which is wellpleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ; to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.

For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry.

If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.

The righteous also shall hold on his way, and he that hath clean hands shall be stronger and stronger.

But that on the good ground are they, which in an honest and good heart, having heard the word, keep it, and bring forth fruit with patience.

Epaphras, who is one of you, a servant of Christ, saluteth you, always labouring fervently for you in prayers, that ye may stand perfect and complete in all the will of God.

But he that lacketh these things is blind, and cannot see afar off, and hath forgotten that he was purged from his old sins.

Exalt her, and she shall promote thee: she shall bring thee to honour, when thou dost embrace her.

I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me.

Then Jesus beholding him loved him, and said unto him, One thing thou lackest: go thy way, sell whatsoever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, take up th...

Now when Jesus heard these things, he said unto him, Yet lackest thou one thing: sell all that thou hast, and distribute unto the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, follow me.

The young man saith unto him, All these things have I kept from my youth up: what lack I yet?
