1:10But the rich, in that he is made low: because as the flower of the grass he shall pass away.
1:11For the sun is no sooner risen with a burning heat, but it withereth the grass, and the flower thereof falleth, and the grace of the fashion of it perisheth: so also shall the rich man fade away in his ways.
1:12Blessed 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.
1:13Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man:
1:14But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed.
1:15Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.
1:17Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.
1:18Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures.
1:19Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath:
1:20For the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God.
