My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations;
(James 1:2)
* Count = consider, esteem, think, judge.
* Temptations = This is the same underlying Greek word, "peirasmos" used in Luke 4:13 "And when the devil had ended all the temptation, he departed from him for a season."
1/ Temptations and trials that are not joy in themselves .
