James 1:4

You must keep on being strong so that you will be perfect and you won't need anything more to be good people.

Anindilyakwa (portions)

In The King James Version

But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.

In Context

3because when you have any kind of trouble, you can keep on trusting God even more. When you trust in him, you will become strong so that you won't do anything wrong.

5Maybe you will say to yourself, “What shall I do? What is the right thing for me to do?” Then you should say to God, “Father, what is right, and what is wrong? I don't know, so please help me to know,” because you don't know by yourself. God won't refuse, he will listen when you pray to him. He will listen to you and he will help you. He won't blame you for not knowing what to do.

For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea… Read the whole commentary →
