James 1:12

Testing And Tempting

¹¹ The sun riseth with heat, and the grass withereth and his flower falleth away, and the beauty of the fashion of it perisheth: even so shall the rich man perish with his abundance. ¹² Happy is the man that endureth in temptation, for when he is tried he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him. ¹³ Let no man say when he is tempted that he is tempted of God: for God tempteth not unto evil, neither tempteth he any man.
