James 1:12

Testing And Tempting

¹¹ the sun is up and darts its rays, the grass is wither'd, its flowers droop, and all their beautiful appearance vanishes away. just so the rich man fades with all his projects. ¹² happy is he that can stand the tryal: for when he has undergone the test, he shall receive that crown of life which the Lord has promised to those that love him. ¹³ Let no man under temptation, say, it is God that tempts him; for as he is incapable of moral evil, he can't influence any one thereto.
