New Testament

James 1:7-15 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

7. For that man should not think that he shall receive whatever from the Master –

8. he is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.

9. And let the lowly brother boast in his exaltation,

10. but the rich in his humiliation, because as a flower of the field he shall pass away.

11. For the sun rose with burning heat, and withered the grass, and its flower fell, and its pretty appearance perished. So also the rich man shall fade away in his ways.

12. Blessed is the man who does endure trial, for when he has been proved, he shall receive the crown of life which the Master has promised to those who love Him.

13. Let no one say when he is enticed, “I am enticed by Elohim,” for Elohim is not enticed by evil matters, and He entices no one.

14. But each one is enticed when he is drawn away by his own desires and trapped.

15. Then, when desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin. And sin, when it has been accomplished, brings forth death.
