Consider it all joy, my brethren, when ye fall in with manifold temptations;

Happy is a man who endures temptation; because, when he becomes approved, he will receive the crown of life, which He promised to those who love Him.

Let no one, when tempted, say, "I am tempted from God"; for God cannot be tempted with evils, and He Himself tempteth no one.

But each one is tempted, when by his own desire he is drawn away and enticed.

Then the desire, having conceived, brings forth sin; and sin, when completed, brings forth death.

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

And, in like manner, was not also Rahab the harlot justified by works, when she received the messengers, and sent them out by another way?
