New Living Translation

James 1:11-13 New Living Translation (NLT)

11. The hot sun rises and the grass withers; the little flower droops and falls, and its beauty fades away. In the same way, the rich will fade away with all of their achievements.

12. God blesses those who patiently endure testing and temptation. Afterward they will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love him.

13. And remember, when you are being tempted, do not say, “God is tempting me.” God is never tempted to do wrong, and he never tempts anyone else.
