James 1:6 in Context — James 1

4 Mais il faut que la patience accomplisse parfaitement son œuvre, afin que vous soyez parfaits et accomplis, sans faillir en rien.

5 Si quelqu’un d’entre vous manque de sagesse, qu’il la demande à Dieu, qui donne à tous simplement et sans reproche, et elle lui sera donnée.

6 Mais qu’il la demande avec foi, sans douter; car celui qui doute est semblable au flot de la mer, agité par le vent et poussé de côté et d’autre.

7 Qu’un tel homme ne s’imagine pas qu’il recevra quelque chose du Seigneur:

8 c’est un homme irrésolu, inconstant dans toutes ses voies.
