James 1:12

Ashrey is the one who stands up under nisayon (trial), because, having become approved, that one will be given the Ateret HaChayyim (Crown of Life), which Hashem gave as a havtachah (promise) to those having Ahavas Hashem.

Orthodox Jewish Bible

In The King James Version

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.

In Context

11For the shemesh (sun) rose with its burning heat and dried the grass and its TZITZ NAVEL + 1:11 Isa 40:6-8 (flower blossom fell). And the beauty of its appearance perished, so also the “oisher” (rich man) in his goings will fade away. + 1:11 Ps 102:4,11

13However, let no one say, when he is tempted, “From Hashem I am being tempted,” for Hashem cannot be tempted to crave ra'ah (evil), and He Himself trips up no one with nisayon (temptation).
