James 1:12 Blessed is the man that endures temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life… At Trafalgar, Nelson ordered the flag of England to be nailed to the mast of his ship, so that it was not possible for it to be hauled down. Such should be the firm resolve of the Christian, as he reflects on the threefold array — the ranks of the world, the flesh, and the devil — drawn up against him. (J. W. Hardman, LL. D.) Parallel Verses KJV: Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him. |
