James 1:9-12
New American Standard Bible
9 (A)Now the brother or sister of humble circumstances is to glory in his high position; 10 but the rich person is to glory in his [a]humiliation, because (B)like [b]flowering grass he will pass away. 11 For the sun rises with (C)its scorching heat and (D)withers the grass; and its flower falls off and the beauty of its appearance is destroyed; so also the rich person, in the midst of his pursuits, will die out.
12 (E)Blessed is a man who perseveres under trial; for once he has [c]been approved, he will receive (F)the crown of life which the Lord (G)has promised to those who (H)love Him.
