James 1:12

Verse 12

3. Blessedness of enduring temptation; which (temptation) comes not from God; from whom is the good alone, James 1:12-18.

12. Blessed is the man Whether of low degree or rich.

Endureth Who not only suffers, undergoes, but endureth; that is, bears up against, and conquers temptation.

For It is the most glorious of triumphs. He it is who may (James 1:2) count it all joy.

Tried Proved true by the tempting test.

Crown of life He becomes more than a millionaire; he receives the crown of a heavenly prince a crown of life from which he will never pass by death, and which will never wither from him. The phrase crown of life does not signify a crown possessed of or imbued with life; but a crown consisting of life. The life, or glorious immortality, is itself the crown.
