Blessed are those who persevere under trial, because when they have stood the test, they will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love him.
You ask and do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, so that you may spend it on your (sensual) pleasures.
God sets Himself against the proud and haughty, but gives grace [continually] to the lowly (those who are humble enough to receive it).
And now, children, stay with Christ. Live deeply in Christ. Then we'll be ready for him when he appears, ready to receive him with open arms, with no cause for red-faced guilt or lame excuses when he arrives.
And we receive from Him whatever we ask, because we [ watchfully] obey His orders [observe His suggestions and injunctions, follow His plan for us] and [ habitually] practice what is pleasing to Him.
James 1:12 James 4:3 James 4:6 1 John 2:28 1 John 3:22
The best remedy for greed is generosity.
