James 1:14

Testing And Tempting

¹³ Let, no one, while tempted, be saying - From God, am I tempted, - for, God, cannot be tempted by things evil, and, himself, tempteth no one; ¹⁴ But, each one, is tempted, when, by his own coveting, he is drawn out and enticed, ¹⁵ Then, the coveting, having conceived, giveth birth to sin, and, the sin, when full-grown, bringeth forth death.
