1 New English Bible (New Testament) Passage New Testament in Greek (UBS.Ed.26)

9The brother in humble circumstances may well be proud that God lifts him up;Poverty and Riches Jas.1.9-11Καυχάσθω δὲ ὁ ἀδελφὸς ὁ ταπεινὸς ἐν τῷ ὑψει αὐτοῦ,
10and the wealthy brother must find his pride in being brought low. For the rich man will disappear like the flower of the field; ὁ δὲ πλούσιος ἐν τῇ ταπεινώσει αὐτοῦ, ὅτι ὡς ἀνθος χόρτου παρελεύσεται.
11once the sun is up with its scorching heat the flower withers, its petals fall, and what was lovely to look at is lost for ever. So shall the rich man wither away as he goes about his business.
 ἀνέτειλεν γὰρ ὁ ἡλιος σὺν τῷ καύσωνι καὶ ἐξήρανεν τὸν χόρτον, καὶ τὸ ἀνθος αὐτοῦ ἐξέπεσεν καὶ ἡ εὐπρέπεια τοῦ προσώπου αὐτοῦ ἀπώλετο· οὑτως καὶ ὁ πλούσιος ἐν ταῖς πορείαις αὐτοῦ μαρανθήσεται.
