James 1:1-8 James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which are scattered abroad, greeting.
2 My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations;
3 Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience.
4 But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.
5 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.
6 But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed.
7 For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord.
8 A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.

Psalm 49:16-18 Be not thou afraid when one is made rich, when the glory of his house is increased;
17 For when he dieth he shall carry nothing away: his glory shall not descend after him.
18 Though while he lived he blessed his soul: and men will praise thee, when thou doest well to thyself.

1 John 1:5-7 This
then is the message which we have heard of HIM, and declare unto you,
that God is light, and in HIM is no darkness at all.
6 If we say that we have fellowship with HIM, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth:
7
But if we walk in the light, as HE is in the light, we have fellowship
one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ HIS Son cleanseth us
from all sin.

Matthew 10:39 ... Jesus says ... He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for MY sake (for the sake of the Word) shall find it.
