 Patience then must have its perfect work; thus self-will is subdued, and the whole of God’s will is accepted. (James 1 by J.N. Darby)
 The work of patience is to break down our self-confidence and self-will and teach us that apart from God we can do nothing. When patience has had her perfect work, the soul will show its submission to God in trial by bowing to what God allows and by waiting for the Lord. (The Practical Christian Life: James 1 by H. Smith)
 How greatly we shrink from trial! What efforts we make to avoid it! In so doing we are like unto children who scheme with great ingenuity to play truant from school, and end up by becoming dunces. (James 1 by F.B. Hole)
