James 1:9-12

New King James Version

The Perspective of Rich and Poor

⁹ Let the lowly brother glory in his exaltation, ¹⁰ but the rich in his humiliation, because ^(A)as a flower of the field he will pass away. ¹¹ For no sooner has the sun risen with a burning heat than it withers the grass; its flower falls, and its beautiful appearance perishes. So the rich man also will fade away in his pursuits.

Loving God Under Trials

^12 (B)Blessed is the man who endures temptation; for when he has been approved, he will receive ^(C)the crown of life ^(D)which the Lord has promised to those who love Him.
