"Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for, when he hath been proved, he shall receive the crown of life which God hath promised to them that love him.
Let no man, when he is tempted, say that he is tempted by God. For God is not a tempter of evils: and he tempteth no man.
But every man is tempted by his own concupiscence, being drawn away and allured.
Then, when concupiscence hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin. But sin, when it is completed, begetteth death.
Do not err, therefore, my dearest brethren.
Every best gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no change nor shadow of alteration.
For of his own will hath he begotten us by the word of truth, that we might be some beginning of his creature."
James 1.12-18

"Blessed is the man whom thou shalt instruct, O Lord: and shalt teach him out of thy law.
That thou mayst give him rest from the evil days: till a pit be dug for the wicked.
For the Lord will not cast off his people: neither will he forsake his own inheritance.
Until justice be turned into judgment: and they that are near it are all the upright in heart.
If I said: My foot is moved: thy mercy, O Lord, assisted me.
According to the multitude of my sorrows in my heart, thy comforts have given joy to my soul."

"And they forgot to take bread: and they had but one loaf with them in the ship.
And he charged them saying: Take heed and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the leaven of Herod.
And they reasoned among themselves, saying: Because we have no bread.
Which Jesus knowing, saith to them: Why do you reason, because you have no bread? Do you not yet know nor understand? Have you still your heart blinded?
Having eyes, see you not? And having ears, hear you not? Neither do you remember?
When I broke the five loves among five thousand, how many baskets full of fragments took you up? They say to him: Twelve.
When also the seven loaves among four thousand, how many baskets of fragments took you up? And they say to him: Seven.
And he said to them: How do you not yet understand?"
