雅1:2-4

我的弟兄們，你們落在百般試煉中，都要以為大喜樂；

因為知道你們的信心經過試驗，就生忍耐。

但忍耐也當成功，使你們成全、完備，毫無缺欠。

Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds,

because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance.

Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete,

not lacking anything.

雅1:12-15

忍受試探的人是有福的，因為他經過試驗以後，必得生命的冠冕，

這是主應許給那些愛他之人的。

人被試探，不可說：「我是被神試探」；因為神不能被惡試探，他也不試探人。

但各人被試探，乃是被自己的私慾牽引誘惑的。

私慾既懷了胎，就生出罪來；罪既長成，就生出死來。

Blessed 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.

When tempted, no one should say, "God is tempting me."

For God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does he tempt anyone;

but each one is tempted when, by his own evil desire, he is dragged away and enticed.

Then, after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin;

and sin, when it is full-grown, gives birth to death.

林前10:13

你們所遇見的試探，無非是人所能受的。

神是信實的，必不叫你們受試探過於所能受的；

在受試探的時候，總要給你們開一條出路，叫你們能忍受得住。

No temptation has seized you except what is common to man.

And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear.

But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under it.
