Testing And Tempting

13 Let no one say when passing through trial, "My temptation is from God;" for God is incapable of being tempted to do evil, and He Himself tempts no one. 14 But when a man is tempted, it is his own passions that carry him away and serve as a bait. 15 Then the passion conceives, and becomes the parent of sin; and sin, when fully matured, gives birth to death.
