A man who endures trials is blessed, because when he passes the test he will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love Him.

But each person is tempted when he is drawn away and enticed by his own evil desires.

Then after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin, and when sin is fully grown, it gives birth to death.

Wasn’t Abraham our father justified by works when he offered Isaac his son on the altar?

And in the same way, wasn’t Rahab the prostitute also justified by works when she received the messengers and sent them out by a different route?

Now when we put bits into the mouths of horses to make them obey us, we also guide the whole animal.
