Count it all joy, my brethren, when ye fall into various temptations;

Let no one when he is tempted, say, I am tempted by God; for God cannot be tempted with evil, and he tempteth no one.

Of his own will he begot us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures.

For every kind of beasts and of birds, of creeping things and things in the sea, is tamed and hath been tamed by mankind;

Ye lust, and have not; ye kill, and earnestly covet, and cannot obtain; ye fight and war. Ye have not, because ye ask not;

Behold, we count those happy who have endured. Ye have heard of the patience of Job; behold also the end of the Lord, that he is very pitiful, and of tender mercy.
