James 1:10-15

New American Standard Bible

¹⁰ but the rich person is to glory in his ^[a]humiliation, because ^(A)like ^[b]flowering grass he will pass away. ¹¹ For the sun rises with ^(B)its scorching heat and ^(C)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 (D)Blessed is a man who perseveres under trial; for once he has ^[c]been approved, he will receive ^(E)the crown of life which the Lord ^(F)has promised to those who ^(G)love Him. ¹³ No one is to say when he is tempted, “^(H)I am being tempted ^[d]by God”; for God cannot be tempted ^[e]by evil, and He Himself does not tempt anyone. ¹⁴ But each one is tempted when he is carried away and enticed by his own lust. ¹⁵ Then ^(I)when lust has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and ^(J)sin, when it has run its course, brings forth death.
