James 1:11-18
11For the sunG2246 risesG393 with 12a scorchingG2742 windG2742 and 3withersG3583 the grassG5528; and its flowerG438 fallsG1601 offG1601 and the beautyG2143 of its appearanceG4383 is destroyedG622; soG3779 tooG2532 the richG4145 manG4145 in the midst of his pursuitsG4197 will fadeG3133 awayG3133.
124BlessedG3107 is a manG435 whoG3739 perseveresG5278 under trialG3986; for once he has 5beenG1096 approvedG1384, he will receiveG2983 6the crownG4735 of lifeG2222 whichG3739 the Lord 7has promisedG1861 to thoseG3588 who 8loveG25 Him. 13Let noG3367 oneG3367 sayG3004 when he is temptedG3985, “9I am being temptedG3985 10by GodG2316”; for GodG2316 cannotG551 be temptedG551 11by evilG2556, and He HimselfG846 does not temptG3985 anyoneG3762. 14But eachG1538 oneG1538 is temptedG3985 when he is carriedG1828 awayG1828 and enticedG1185 by his ownG2398 lustG1939. 15ThenG1534 12when lustG1939 has conceivedG4815, it givesG5088 birthG5088 to sinG266; and when 13sinG266 14is accomplishedG658, it bringsG616 forthG616 deathG2288. 1615Do not be 16deceivedG4105, 17my belovedG27 brethrenG80. 17EveryG3956 goodG18 thingG1394 givenG1394 and everyG3956 perfectG5046 giftG1434 is 18from aboveG509, comingG2597 downG2597 from 19the FatherG3962 of lightsG5457, 20with whomG3739 thereG1762 is noG3756 variationG3883 orG2228 21shiftingG5157 shadowG644. 18In the exercise of 22His willG1014 He 23broughtG616 us forthG616 by 24the wordG3056 of truthG225, soG1519 that we would be 25a kindG5100 of 26firstG536 fruitsG536 27among His creaturesG2938.
