John Gill Commentary James 1:7

"For let not that man think that he shall receive anything of the Lord;" — James 1:7 (ASV)

For let not that man think Imagine, conclude, or please himself with such thoughts,

that he shall receive anything from the Lord ; wisdom, or anything else, he is seeking after; for wanting faith, he has nothing to receive with; faith is the grace, which receives the Lord Jesus Christ himself, and all grace from him; which receives a justifying righteousness, pardon of sin, adoption of children, and even the everlasting inheritance, at least, the right unto it;

wherefore those who have not faith, as the wavering man, cannot receive any thing.
