8. The double minded man is unstable in all his ways.
9. Let the brother of low degree rejoice in his high status;
10. and he who is rich, in his low status, because as the flower of the grass he shall pass away.
11. For the sun is no sooner risen with a burning heat, but it withers the grass, and its flower falls, and the beautiful appearance of it perishes: so also shall the rich man fade away in his ways.
12. Blessed is the man that patiently endures temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord has promised to those that love him.
13. Let no one say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God; for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither does he tempt anyone:
14. But each one is tempted, when they are drawn away of their own lust and enticed.
15. Then when lust has conceived, it brings forth sin; and sin, when it is finished, brings forth death.
16. Do not err, my beloved brethren.
