(James 1:12-15)
12Blessed is the man who perseveres under trial,
because when he has stood the test, he will receive the crown of
life that God has promised to those who love him.
13When tempted, no one should say, “God is tempting
me.” For God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does he tempt anyone;
14but each one is tempted when, by his own evil desire,
he is dragged away and enticed. 15Then, after desire
has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is
full-grown, gives birth to death.
(Matthew
6:9-13) 9“This, then, is how
you should pray:
“‘Our Father
in heaven,
hallowed be your name,
10 your kingdom come,
your will be done
on earth as it is in heaven.
11 Give us today our daily bread.
12 Forgive us our debts,
as we also have forgiven our debtors.
13 And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from the evil one.’”
