Context Readings

Testing And Tempting

11 For the sun comes up with its scorching heat and dries up the grass, and the flowers wither, and all their beauty is gone. That is the way rich men will fade and die in the midst of their pursuits. 12 Blessed is the man who endures trial, for when he stands the test, he will be given the crown of life, which God has promised to those who love him. 13 No one should think when he is tempted that his temptation comes from God, for God is incapable of being tempted by what is evil, and he does not tempt anyone.
