12Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him.Select James 1:12
13Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man:Select James 1:13
14But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed.Select James 1:14
15Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.Select James 1:15
16Do not err, my beloved brethren.Select James 1:16
