James 1:11-18

11ForG1063 the sunG3588G2246 is no sooner risenG393 withG4862 a burning heatG3588G2742, butG2532 it witherethG3583 the grassG3588G5528, andG2532 the flowerG3588G438 thereofG846 fallethG1601, andG2532 the graceG3588G2143 of the fashionG3588G4383 of itG846 perishethG622: soG3779 alsoG2532 shallG3133 the rich manG4145 fade awayG3133 inG1722 hisG846 waysG3588G4197.

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. 13

Let 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.

17EveryG3956 goodG18 giftG1394 andG2532 everyG3956 perfectG5046 giftG1434 isG1510 from aboveG509, and cometh downG2597 fromG575 the FatherG3588G3962 of lightsG3588G5457, withG3844 whomG3739 isG1762 noG3756 variablenessG3883, neitherG2228 shadowG644 of turningG5157. 18Of his own willG1014 begat heG616 usG1473 with the wordG3056 of truthG225, that weG1473 should beG1510 a kindG5100 of firstfruitsG536 of hisG846 creaturesG2938.
