The verses around James 1:3.
1James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which are scattered abroad, greeting.
2My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations;
3Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience.
4But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.
5If 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.
Verse explanation
This is the logic behind the previous verse: faith put to the test, like metal in fire, produces a quality here called patience — the ability to hold steady without giving up.
From the James 1 study in Bible in Stories.
