James 1:12

Testing And Tempting

¹¹ For the sun rose up with the burning heat, and withered the grass. And the flower of it fell, and the beauty of its appearance perished. So also the rich man will fade away among his pursuits. ¹² Blessed is a man who endures temptation, because, having become approved, he will receive the crown of life, which the Lord promised to those who love him. ¹³ Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted by God, for God is without temptation of evils, and he himself tempts no man.
