James 1:8 Context
6But let him aske in faith, nothing wauering: for he that wauereth is like a waue of the sea, driuen with the wind, and tossed. 7For let not that man thinke that he shall receiue any thing of the Lord. 8A double minded man is vnstable in all his wayes. 9Let the brother of low degree, reioyce in that he is exalted: 10But the rich, in that hee is made low: because as the floure of the grasse he shall passe away.
