Contextual Overview

² My brethren, count it all ioy whe ye fall into diuers temptations: ³ Knowyng (this) that the trying of your fayth worketh patience: ⁴ And let patience haue [her] perfect worke, that ye may be perfect & sounde, lackyng nothyng. ⁵ If any of you lacke wisdome, let him aske of God, that geueth to all men indifferentlie, and casteth no man in the teeth: and it shalbe geuen hym. ⁶ But let hym aske in fayth, nothyng waueryng: For he that wauereth, is like a waue of the sea, tost of the wynde, and caryed with violence. ⁷ Neither let that man thynke that he shall receaue any thyng of the Lorde. ⁸ A double mynded man, [is] vnstable in all his wayes. ⁹ Let the brother of lowe degree, reioyce in that he is exalted: ¹⁰ Agayne, the riche, in that he is made lowe: Because as the flowre of the grasse he shall passe away. ¹¹ For the sunne hath rysen with heate, and the grasse hath withered, and his flowre hath fallen away, & the beautie of the fashion of it hath perished: So also shall the ryche man fade away in his wayes.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

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.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

For let not that man think that he shall receive anything of the Lord - Compare Hebrews 11:6. A man can hope for favor from God only as he puts confidence in him. He sees the heart; and if he sees that there is no belief in his existence, or his perfections - no real trust in him - no reliance on his promises, his wisdom, his grace - it cannot be proper that he should grant an answer to our petitions. That will account sufficiently for the fact that there are so many prayers unanswered; that we so frequently go to the throne of grace, and are sent empty away. A man that goes to God in such a state of mind, should not expect to receive any favor.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 7. Let not that man think — The man whose mind is divided, who is not properly persuaded either of his own wants or God's sufficiency. Such persons may pray, but having no faith, they can get no answer.
