Blessed is the 1 who perseveres under challenges

¹² Blessed is the one who perseveres under challenges because, by persevering, that individual gets to really live.

¹³ When tempted, no one should say, “God or Devil is tempting me.” For neither God nor Devil tempt anyone; 

¹⁴ but each person is tempted when they are dragged away & enticed by their own destructive desires in thoughts-&-words.

¹⁵ Then, after their own destructive desires have conceived actions-&-habits, they gives birth to character-&-destiny of a wasted-life; and a wasted-life, when it is full-developed, results in a miserable death.

--James 1:12-15 (Vinnieosophy Version)
