James 1:12 in Context — James 1

10 Mas el que es rico, en su bajeza; porque él se pasará como la flor de la hierba.

11 Porque salido el sol con ardor, la hierba se secó, y su flor se cayó, y pereció su hermosa apariencia: así también se marchitará el rico en todos sus caminos.

12 Bienaventurado el varón que sufre la tentación; porque cuando fuere probado, recibirá la corona de vida, que Dios ha prometido á los que le aman.

13 Cuando alguno es tentado, no diga que es tentado de Dios: porque Dios no puede ser tentado de los malos, ni él tienta á alguno:

14 Sino que cada uno es tentado, cuando de su propia concupiscencia es atraído, y cebado.
