Bible verses about "trails" | ABU

⁷ And that I might not be exalted overmuch through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, a messenger of Satan to buffet me, that I might not be exalted overmuch. ⁸ Concerning this I besought the Lord thrice, that it might depart from me. ⁹ And he said to me: My grace is sufficient for thee; for my power is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may abide upon me. ¹⁰ Wherefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then I am powerful.

³ And not only so, but we rejoice in afflictions also; knowing that affliction works patience; ⁴ and patience approval; and approval hope; ⁵ and hope makes not ashamed; because the love of God has been poured forth in our hearts, by the Holy Spirit which was given to us.

³ Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to his abundant mercy begot us again unto a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead; ⁴ unto an inheritance imperishable, and undefiled, and unfading, reserved in heaven for you, ⁵ who by the power of God are kept through faith, unto a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time. ⁶ Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for a little time, if need be, made sorrowful by manifold trials; ⁷ that the proof of your faith, much more precious than gold that perishes, but is proved by fire, may be found unto praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ; ⁸ whom having not seen ye love; in whom, though now ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory;

¹ JAMES, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which are scattered abroad, greeting. ² Count it all joy, my brethren, when ye fall into various temptations; ³ knowing that the proving of your faith works patience. ⁴ But let patience have a perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, lacking in nothing. ⁵ But if any one of you is lacking in wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally, and upbraids not, and it will be given him. ⁶ But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering; for he that wavers is like a wave of the sea driven by the wind and tossed. ⁷ For let not that man suppose that he shall receive anything from the Lord; ⁸ a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways. ⁹ Let the brother of low degree glory in that he is exalted; ¹⁰ but the rich, in that he is made low; because as the flower of the grass he will pass away. ¹¹ For the sun rose with the burning heat, and withered the grass, and its flower fell off, and the grace of its fashion perished; so also will the rich man fade away in his ways. ¹² Happy is the man that endures temptation; because, when he is approved, he will receive the crown of life, which He promised to those who love him. ¹³ Let no one say when he is tempted, I am tempted by God; for God can not be tempted with evil, and himself tempts no one. ¹⁴ But each one is tempted, when by his own lust he is drawn away and enticed. ¹⁵ Then lust, having conceived, brings forth sin; and sin, when completed, brings forth death. ¹⁶ Do not err, my beloved brethren. ¹⁷ Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the lights, with whom there is no variableness, or shadow of turning. ¹⁸ Of his own will he begot us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of first-fruits of his creatures. ¹⁹ So that, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath; ²⁰ for the wrath of man works not the righteousness of God. ²¹ Wherefore, putting off all filthiness and excess of wickedness, receive with meekness the implanted word, which is able to save your souls. ²² But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves. ²³ For if any one is a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like to a man beholding his natural face in a mirror. ²⁴ For he beheld himself, and has gone away; and immediately he forgot what manner of man he was. ²⁵ But he who looked into the perfect law, the law of liberty, and remained thereby, being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of work, this man shall be happy in his doing. ²⁶ If any one thinks that he is religious, and bridles not his tongue, but deceives his own heart, this man's religion is vain. ²⁷ Religion, pure and undefiled before God and the Father, is this: To visit the orphans and widows in their affliction; to keep himself unspotted from the world.

² Count it all joy, my brethren, when ye fall into various temptations; ³ knowing that the proving of your faith works patience. ⁴ But let patience have a perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, lacking in nothing.
