Ya'akov 1:12-16

Ya'akov 1:12-16 TOJB2011

Ashrey is the one who stands up under nisayon (trial), because, having become approved, that one will be given the Ateret HaChayyim (Crown of Life), which HASHEM gave as a havtachah (promise) to those having Ahavas HASHEM. However, let no one say, when he is tempted, “From HASHEM I am being tempted,” for HASHEM cannot be tempted to crave ra'ah (evil), and He Himself trips up no one with nisayon (temptation). But each one is tempted by his own ta'avah (lust, yetzer hara), being dragged off by it and being allured. Then after her conception Ta'avah gives birth to Averah (Transgression) and Averah, once she has fully developed, gives birth to Mavet. Do not fall under a delusion, my beloved Achim b'Moshiach.
