James 1:12

Testing And Tempting

¹¹ For the sun rises with its burning heat, and withers the grass, and its flower falls, and the beauty of its form perishes. So, also, shall the rich man fade away in his ways. ¹² Blessed is the man that endures trial: for, being approved, he shall receive the crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love him. ¹³ Let no one say, when he is tempted, My temptation is from God; for God can not be tempted by evils, and he himself tempts no man.
