Charles Spurgeon Commentary
"For the sun ariseth with the scorching wind, and withereth the grass: and the flower thereof falleth, and the grace of the fashion of it perisheth: so also shall the rich man fade away in his goings. Blessed is the man that endureth temptation; for when he hath been approved, he shall receive the crown of life, which [the Lord] promised to them that love him." — James 1:11-12 (ASV)

Or, trial: the man who holds on and holds out under it, and does not give way under it; blessed is the man who is tried.
