The World English Bible (WEB): James
Book 59 James 001:001 James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which are in the Dispersion: Greetings. 001:002 Count it all joy, my brothers{The word for "brothers" here and where context allows may also be correctly translated "brothers and sisters" or "siblings."}, when you fall into various temptations, 001:003 knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance. 001:004 Let endurance have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing. 001:005 But 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. 001:006 But let him ask in faith, without any doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, driven by the wind and tossed. 001:007 For let that man not think that he will receive anything from the Lord. 001:008 He is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways. 001:009 But let the brother in humble circumstances glory in his high position; 001:010 and the rich, in that he is made humble, because like the flower
ASTA. [Eagerly.] Do you say that, Alfred?
ALLMERS. Yes, our family is a thing apart. [Half jestingly.] We
have always had vowels for our initials. Don't you remember how
often we used to speak of that? And all our relations--all equally
poor. And we have all the same colour of eyes.
ASTA. Do you think I have--?
ALLMERS. No, you take entirely after your mother. You are not in
the least like the rest of us--not even like father. But all the
same--
ASTA. All the same--?
ALLMERS. Well, I believe that living together has, as it were,
stamped us in each other's image--mentally, I mean.
ASTA. [With warm emotion.] Oh, you must never say that, Alfred. It
is only I that have taken my stamp from you; and it is to you that
I owe everything--every good thing in the world.
ALLMERS. [Shaking his head.] You owe me nothing, Asta. On the
contrary--
ASTA. I owe you everything! You must never doubt that. No sacrifice
