James 1:11“beauty”anatellata gar tos hēlios sun to kausōno kai xērainata ton chorton, kai tem anthem autou ekpiptata kai tas euprepeias teu prosōpeu auteu apollueta; houtōs kai tos plousios en tai poreiai autou marainiti.For the sun rises with scorching heat and withers the plant; its flower falls and its beauty is lost. So too, the rich man will fade away in the midst of his pursuits.
