11For when the sun comes up with its burning heat, the grass gets dry and the grace of its form is gone with the falling flower; so the man of wealth comes to nothing in his ways.
12There is a blessing on the man who undergoes testing; because, if he has God's approval, he will be given the crown of life, which the Lord has said he will give to those who have love for him.
13Let no man say when he is tested, I am tested by God; for it is not possible for God to be tested by evil, and he himself puts no man to such a test:
14But every man is tested when he is turned out of the right way by the attraction of his desire.
15Then when its time comes, desire gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is of full growth, gives birth to death.
16Do not be turned from the right way, dear brothers.
17Every good and true thing is given to us from heaven, coming from the Father of lights, with whom there is no change or any shade made by turning.
