James 1:10-12
1599 Geneva Bible
10 [a]Again, he that is [b]rich, in that he is made low: [c]for as the flower of the grass, shall he (A)vanish away.
11 For as when the sun riseth with heat, then the grass withereth, and his flower falleth away, and the goodly shape of it perisheth: even so shall the rich man wither away in all his [d]ways.
12 [e](B)Blessed is the man, that endureth [f]tentation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him.
