Dear friends,
Could you please help me to understand the usage of PEIRASMOS (and
PEIRAZW)in James? In Ja 1:1-2 and 1:12 it seems to be a positive thing and
is usually translated as "trial". But in Ja 1:13-14 it becomes something
bad and is translated as "temptation". How can it be that the same word in
the same context has different meanings and is translated with different
words?
