James 15

James 1:5 is a verse from the New Testament of the Christian Bible, found in the Epistle of James. The verse reads: "If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him." This passage encourages believers to seek wisdom from God, emphasizing God's willingness to provide it abundantly and without judgment. The Greek term used for "wisdom" here is sophia, which signifies not just intellectual knowledge but also practical understanding and insight. In Hebrew, this verse can be translated as אם אחד מכם חסר חכמה, יבקש מאת אלוהים, אשר נותן לכל ללא חסרון, ויהיה נתון לו. The context of this verse is part of James' exhortation to his readers to remain steadfast under trials and to seek divine help in times of need. The Epistle of James is known for its practical advice and emphasis on living out one's faith through good works. Translations of this verse in other relevant languages include Si alguno de vosotros tiene falta de sabiduría, pídala a Dios, el cual da a todos abundantemente y sin reproche, y le será dada in Spanish, and Si quelqu'un de vous manque de sagesse, qu'il la demande à Dieu, qui donne à tous simplement et sans reproche, et elle lui sera donnée in French.
