James 1:12
Common English Bible (CEB)
“12 Those who ‘stand firm’ [(have) faithfulness, etc..] during testing are blessed. They are tried and true. They will receive the life ‘God’ [ha-‘Elohiym: the-Magistrates, the-Great, the-Angels, etc..] has promised to those who love ‘him’ [ha-‘Iysh: the-Steward, the-Worthy, etc..] as their reward.”
In YH’shua’s example, “the way, the truth, and the life”, paraphrasing. Amein!
