James 1:12-18
121BlessedG3107 is a manG435 whoG3739 perseveresG5278 under trialG3986; for once he has 2beenG1096 approvedG1384, he will receiveG2983 3the crownG4735 of lifeG2222 whichG3739 the Lord 4has promisedG1861 to thoseG3588 who 5loveG25 Him. 13NoG3367 oneG3367 is to sayG3004 when he is temptedG3985, “6I am being temptedG3985 7by GodG2316”; for GodG2316 cannotG551 beG551 temptedG551 8by 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 9when lustG1939 has conceivedG4815, it givesG5088 birthG5088 to sinG266; and 10sinG266, when it has runG658 itsG658 courseG658, bringsG616 forthG616 deathG2288. 1611Do not be 12deceivedG4105, 13my belovedG27 brothersG80 and sisters. 17EveryG3956 goodG18 thingG1394 givenG1394 and everyG3956 perfectG5046 giftG1434 is 14from aboveG509, comingG2597 downG2597 from 15the FatherG3962 of lightsG5457, 16with whomG3739 thereG1762 isG1762 noG3756 variationG3883 orG2228 17shiftingG5157 shadowG644. 18In the exercise of 18His willG1014 He 19gaveG616 us birthG616 by 20the wordG3056 of truthG225, soG1519 thatG1519 we would be 21a kindG5100 of 22firstG536 fruitsG536 23among His creaturesG2938.
