Verse of the Week 12/17: James 1:5

NRSV: If any of you is lacking in wisdom, ask God, who gives to all generously and ungrudgingly, and it will be given you.


CEB: But anyone who needs wisdom should ask God, whose very nature is to give to everyone without a second thought, without keeping score. Wisdom will certainly be given to those who ask.


The NRSV is the New Revised Standard Version, which is the academic standard for biblical translation. The Common English Bible is a more accessible translation. Both are approved for use during worship in the Episcopal Church.
