James 1:12-14

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

¹² Blessed (happy, ^[a]to be envied) is the man who is patient under trial and stands up under temptation, for when he has stood the test and been approved, he will receive [the victor’s] crown of life which God has promised to those who love Him.

¹³ Let no one say when he is tempted, I am tempted from God; for God is incapable of being tempted by [what is] evil and He Himself tempts no one.

¹⁴ But every person is tempted when he is drawn away, enticed and baited by his own evil desire (lust, passions).
