TSK · James 1:12

Know therefore that the LORD thy God, he [is] God, the faithful God, which keepeth covenant and mercy with them that love him and keep his commandments to a thousand generations;

Thou shalt not hearken unto the words of that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams: for the LORD your God proveth you, to know whether ye love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul.

¶ Behold, happy [is] the man whom God correcteth: therefore despise not thou the chastening of the Almighty:

¶ Blessed [is] the man whom thou chastenest, O LORD, and teachest him out of thy law;

¶ It is good for me that I have been afflicted; that I might learn thy statutes.

My son, despise not the chastening of the LORD; neither be weary of his correction:

For since the beginning of the world [men] have not heard, nor perceived by the ear, neither hath the eye seen, O God, beside thee, [what] he hath prepared for him that waiteth for him.

But who may abide the day of his coming? and who shall stand when he appeareth? for he [is] like a refiner's fire, and like fullers' soap:

And Jesus said unto them, ‹Verily I say unto you, That ye which have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit in the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.›

‹Ye are they which have continued with me in my temptations.›

And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to [his] purpose.

But if any man love God, the same is known of him.

Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing.

But call to remembrance the former days, in which, after ye were illuminated, ye endured a great fight of afflictions;

And ye have forgotten the exhortation which speaketh unto you as unto children, My son, despise not thou the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when thou art rebuked of him:

Hearken, my beloved brethren, Hath not God chosen the poor of this world rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which he hath promised to them that love him?

¶ Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for a season, if need be, ye are in heaviness through manifold temptations:

But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ's sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy.

¶ But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle [you].

‹Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer: behold, the devil shall cast› [some] ‹of you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall have tribulation ten days: be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life.›

‹To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne.›
