James 1:10-12

New Catholic Bible

¹⁰ Likewise, the one who is rich should glory in being brought low, for he will disappear like a flower of the field. ¹¹ Once the sun comes up with its scorching rays and withers the grass, its flower droops and its beauty vanishes. So too the rich man will fade away in the midst of his affairs.

¹² Trials and Temptations. Blessed is the man who perseveres when he is tempted, for when he has been proven, he will receive the crown of life that the Lord has promised to those who love him.^[a]
