忍受試探的人是有福的．因為他經過試驗以後、必得生命的冠冕、這是主應許給那些愛他之人的。 人被試探、不可說、我是被 神試探．因為 神不能被惡試探、他也不試探人． 但各人被試探、乃是被自己的私慾牽引誘惑的。 私慾既懷了胎、就生出罪來．罪既長成、就生出死來。
Happy is the one who endures testing, because when he has proven to be genuine, he will receive the crown of life that God promised to those who love him. Let no one say when he is tempted, “I am tempted by God,” for God cannot be tempted by evil, and he himself tempts no one. But each one is tempted when he is lured and enticed by his own desires. Then when desire conceives, it gives birth to sin, and when sin is full grown, it gives birth to death.
James 雅各书 1:12-15 NET
