Read: James 1:12-18
Perseverance under trial is the first step on the way to understanding what the wisdom of God is. In the original language of the New Testament, which was Greek, the word, trial is Peirasmois (πειρασμοῖς) which actually has two meanings. The first one is that testing comes from the outside such as poverty or religious persecution. The second meaning here is that testing comes from the inside such as temptation as a result of our sins. The word trial in the verse 12 takes the first meaning, which is trial from outside.
