James 1 10 and the rich, in that he is made humble, because like the flower in the grass, he will pass away. 11 For the sun arises with the scorching wind and withers the grass, and the flower in it falls, and the beauty of its appearance perishes. So the rich man will also fade away in his pursuits. 12 Blessed
is a person[1] who

will receive the crown of life, which [..] 15 Then the lust, when it has conceived, bears sin. The sin, when it is full grown, produces death. 16 Dont be deceived, my beloved brothers. 17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom can be no variation, nor turning shadow. 18 Of his own will he gave birth to us by the word of truth, that we should be a kind of first fruits of his creatures. [1] The World English Bible has translated the Greek word aner as a person. It is more literally a man. The World English Bible is not usually a gender-neutral translation, but this is an exception. |
