James 1:14

Testing And Tempting

¹³ Let no man, being tempted, say, I am tempted of God. For God cannot be tempted by evil things, and himself tempts no one. ¹⁴ But every one is tempted, drawn away, and enticed by his own lust; ¹⁵ then lust, having conceived, gives birth to sin; but sin fully completed brings forth death.
