James 1:6

But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed.

But {G1161} let him ask {G154} in {G1722} faith {G4102}, nothing {G3367} wavering {G1252}. For {G1063} he that wavereth {G1252} is like {G1503} a wave {G2830} of the sea {G2281} driven with the wind {G416} and {G2532} tossed {G4494}.

But let him ask in trust, doubting nothing; for the doubter is like a wave in the sea being tossed and driven by the wind.

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.

But let him ask in faith, nothing doubting: for he that doubteth is like the surge of the sea driven by the wind and tossed.
