James 1:14

Testing And Tempting

¹³ Let no one say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God; for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither does he tempt anyone: ¹⁴ But each one is tempted when he is carried away and enticed by his own lust. ¹⁵ Then when lust has conceived, it brings forth sin; and sin, when it is finished, brings forth death.
