# Connecting Statement:

James reminds the believers who have fled that God does not cause temptation; he tells them how to avoid temptation.

# Blessed is the man who endures testing

"The man who endures testing is fortunate" or "The man who endures testing is well off"

# endures testing

remains faithful to God during hardships

# passed the test

he has been approved by God

# receive the crown of life

Eternal life is spoken of as if it were a wreath of leaves placed on the head of a victorious athlete. Alternate translation: "receive eternal life as his reward" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metaphor]])

# has been promised to those who love God

This can be stated in active form. Alternate translation: "God has promised to those who love him" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-activepassive]])
