James 1:12 Context
10But the rich, in that hee is made low: because as the floure of the grasse he shall passe away. 11For the Sunne is no sooner risen with a burning heate, but it withereth the grasse; and the flowre thereof falleth, and the grace of the fashion of it perisheth: so also shall the rich man fade away in his wayes. 12Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when hee is tried, hee shall receiue the crowne of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that loue him. 13Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with euill, neither tempteth he any man. 14But euery man is tempted, when hee is drawen away of his owne lust, and entised.
