New American Standard Bible 1995
James 1:13-17
13Let noG3367 oneG3367 sayG3004 when he is temptedG3985, “1I am being temptedG3985 2by GodG2316”; for GodG2316 cannotG551 be temptedG551 3by evilG2556, and He HimselfG846 does not temptG3985 anyoneG3762.
14But eachG1538 oneG1538 is temptedG3985 when he is carriedG1828 awayG1828 and enticedG1185 by his ownG2398 lustG1939.
15ThenG1534 4when lustG1939 has conceivedG4815, it givesG5088 birthG5088 to sinG266; and when 5sinG266 6is accomplishedG658, it bringsG616 forthG616 deathG2288.
167Do not be 8deceivedG4105, 9my belovedG27 brethrenG80.
17EveryG3956 goodG18 thingG1394 givenG1394 and everyG3956 perfectG5046 giftG1434 is 10from aboveG509, comingG2597 downG2597 from 11the FatherG3962 of lightsG5457, 12with whomG3739 thereG1762 is noG3756 variationG3883 orG2228 13shiftingG5157 shadowG644.
