Happy are we who persevere under trials and difficulties.
Because when we have stood the test, we will receive the crown of life that God has promised to us who love Him.
If we're tempted, not one of us should say, "God is tempting me."
Because God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does God tempt anyone.
But each person is tempted by their own evil desire.
When we're tempted by our own evil desire, we're dragged and enticed.
After that evil desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin, and sin, when it is full grown, gives birth to death.
We are to be cautious.
We ought not be deceived.
Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, who does not change like shifting shadows.
God chose to give us birth through the word of truth, that we might be a kind of firstfruits of all He created.
James 1:12-18
