James 1:14

Testing And Tempting

¹³ Let no one say, being tempted -- 'From God I am tempted,' for God is not tempted of evil, and Himself doth tempt no one, ¹⁴ and each one is tempted, by his own desires being led away and enticed, ¹⁵ afterward the desire having conceived, doth give birth to sin, and the sin having been perfected, doth bring forth death.
