James 1:11-13
English Standard Version
11 For the sun rises with its scorching heat and (A)withers the grass; its flower falls, and its beauty perishes. So also will the rich man fade away in the midst of his pursuits.
12 (B)Blessed is the man who remains steadfast under trial, for when he has stood the test he will receive (C)the crown of life, (D)which God has promised to those who love him. 13 Let no one say when he is tempted, “I am being tempted by God,” for God cannot be tempted with evil, and he himself tempts no one.
