James 1:11-13

Holman Christian Standard Bible

¹¹ For the sun rises with its scorching heat and dries up the grass; its flower falls off, and its beautiful appearance is destroyed. In the same way, the rich man will wither away while pursuing his activities.^(A)

¹² A man who endures trials^[a] is blessed, because when he passes the test he will receive the crown^(B) of life that God^[b] has promised to those who love Him.^(C)

¹³ No one undergoing a trial should say, “I am being tempted by God.” For God is not tempted by evil,^[c] and He Himself doesn’t tempt anyone.
