My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into various trials;

Blessed is the man who patiently supports temptation: for when he is proved, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to those who love him.

but every person is tempted, when by his own peculiar passion he is born away, and ensnared.

Was not our father Abraham justified by works, when he offered up Isaac his son upon the altar?

But was not Rahab the harlot in like manner justified by works, when she entertained the messengers, and sent them away by a different road?
