James 1:12-16

12Blessed [is the] man who endures temptation; for, having been proved, he shall receive the crown of life, which He has promised to them that love him.

13Let no man, being tempted, say, I am tempted of 1God. For 2God cannot be tempted by evil things, and himself tempts no one.

14But every one is tempted, drawn away, and enticed by his own lust;

15then lust, having conceived, gives birth to sin; but sin fully completed brings forth death.

16Do not err, my beloved brethren.
