Blessed [is] the person who endures testing, because [when he] is approved he will receive the crown of life that he has promised to those who love him.

But each one is tempted [when he] is dragged away and enticed by his own desires.

Then desire, [after it] has conceived, gives birth to sin, and sin, [when it] is brought to completion, gives birth to death.

Was not Abraham our father justified by works [when he] offered up his son Isaac on the altar?

And likewise was not Rahab the prostitute also justified by works [when she] welcomed the messengers and sent [them] out by a different route?
