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?
