James 1:12-16

12Happy is the one who endures testing, because when he has proven to be genuine, he will receive the crown of life that God promised to those who love him.

13Let no one say when he is tempted, “I am tempted by God,” for God cannot be tempted by evil, and he himself tempts no one.

14But each one is tempted when he is lured and enticed by his own desires.

15Then when desire conceives, it gives birth to sin, and when sin is full grown, it gives birth to death.

16Do not be led astray, my dear brothers and sisters.
