James 1:12

Testing And Tempting

¹¹ For the sun has risen with its burning heat, and has withered the grass, and its flower has fallen, and the comeliness of its look has perished: thus the rich also shall wither in his goings. ¹² Blessed is the man who endures temptation; for, having been proved, he shall receive the crown of life, which He has promised to them that love him. ¹³ Let no man, being tempted, say, I am tempted of God. For God cannot be tempted by evil things, and himself tempts no one.
