James 1:12-16

12BlessedG3107 is the manG435 thatG3739 endurethG5278 temptationG3986: forG3754 when he isG1096 triedG1384, he shall receiveG2983 the crownG3588G4735 of lifeG3588G2222, whichG3739 the LordG3588G2962 hath promisedG1861 to themG3588 that loveG25 himG846.

13Let no manG3367 sayG3004 whenG3754 he is temptedG3985, I am temptedG3985 ofG575 GodG3588G2316: forG1063 GodG2316 cannot be temptedG551 with evilG2556, neitherG1161 temptethG3985 heG846 any manG3762:

14ButG1161 every manG1538 is temptedG3985, when he is drawn awayG1828 ofG5259 his ownG2398 lustG1939, andG2532 enticedG1185.

15Then whenG1534 lustG3588G1939 hath conceivedG4815, it bringeth forthG5088 sinG266: andG1161 sinG266, when it is finishedG658, bringeth forthG616 deathG2288.

16DoG4105 notG3361 errG4105, myG1473 belovedG27 brethrenG80.
