James 1:8-18

James 1:8-18

[8] A double minded  man  is unstable  in  all  his  ways.  [9] the brother  of low degree  rejoice  in  that he  is exalted:  [10] But  the rich,  in  that he  is made low:  because  as  the flower  of the grass  he shall pass away.  [11] For  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  the rich man  fade away  in  his  ways.  [12] Blessed  is the man  that  endureth  temptation:  for  when he is tried,  he shall receive  the crown  of life,  which  hath promised  to them that love  him.  [13] no man  say  when he is tempted,  of  God:  for  God  cannot be tempted  with evil,  neither  he  any man:  [14] But  every man  is tempted,  when he is drawn away  of  his own  lust,  and  enticed.  [15] Then  when lust  hath conceived,  it bringeth forth  sin:  and  sin,  when it is finished,  bringeth forth  death.  [16] not  err,  beloved  brethren.  [17] Every  good  gift  and  every  perfect  gift  from above,  and cometh down  from  the Father  of lights,  with  whom  is  no  variableness,  neither  shadow  of turning.  [18] Of his own will  begat he  with the word  of truth,  that  a kind  of firstfruits  of his  creatures.
