James 1:7

That man should not expect to receive anything from the Lord.

James 1:7 · BSB

James 1:7 in context

The verses around it, from James 1.

3 because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance.

4 Allow perseverance to finish its work, so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.

5 Now if any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him.

6 But he must ask in faith, without doubting, because he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind.

7 That man should not expect to receive anything from the Lord.

8 He is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.

9 The brother in humble circumstances should exult in his high position.

10 But the one who is rich should exult in his low position, because he will pass away like a flower of the field.

11 For the sun rises with scorching heat and withers the plant; its flower falls and its beauty is lost. So too, the rich man will fade away in the midst of his pursuits.
