3   Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience.
γινωσκοντες οτι το δοκιμιον υμων της πιστεως κατεργαζεται υπομονην

4   But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.
η δε υπομονη εργον τελειον εχετω ινα τελειοι και ολοκληροι εν μηδενι λειπομενοι

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.
ει δε τις υμων λειπεται σοφιας αιτειτω παρα του διδοντος θεου πασιν απλως και μη ονειδιζοντος και δοθησεται αυτω

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.
αιτειτω δε εν πιστει μηδεν διακρινομενος ο γαρ διακρινομενος εοικεν κλυδωνι θαλασσης ανεμιζομενω και ριπιζομενω

7   For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord.
μη γαρ οιεσθω ο ανθρωπος εκεινος οτι ληψεται τι παρα του κυριου

8   A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.
ανηρ διψυχος ακαταστατος εν πασαις ταις οδοις αυτου

9   Let the brother of low degree rejoice in that he is exalted:
καυχασθω δε ο αδελφος ο ταπεινος εν τω υψει αυτου

10   But the rich, in that he is made low: because as the flower of the grass he shall pass away.
ο δε πλουσιος εν τη ταπεινωσει αυτου οτι ως ανθος χορτου παρελευσεται

11   For the sun is no sooner risen with a burning heat, but it withereth the grass, and the flower thereof falleth, and the grace of the fashion of it perisheth: so also shall the rich man fade away in his ways.
ανετειλεν γαρ ο ηλιος συν τω καυσωνι και εξηρανεν τον χορτον και το ανθος αυτου εξεπεσεν και η ευπρεπεια του προσωπου αυτου απωλετο ουτως και ο πλουσιος εν ταις πορειαις αυτου μαρανθησεται
