James 1:12

Blessed (happy, enviable) is the man who endures [perseveres and does not waver under] the trial (temptation), for when he has passed the test [proved himself to be genuine and authentic], he shall receive the crown of life [eternal life] that he [the Lord] has promised to those who love him.
[The Sermon on the Mount also begins with blessings, see Matt. 5:3–12. The Greek peirasmos has a broad meaning of both trial and temptation. The nuance between the English words does not exist in Greek. Prayer plays an important role both before ("lead us not into temptation," see Matt. 6:13) and during the trial/temptation, see James 1:2.]
