James 1:12-18 - Testing And Tempting
12 Blessed is the man that endures trial: for, being approved, he shall receive the crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love him.
13 Let no one say, when he is tempted, My temptation is from God; for God can not be tempted by evils, and he himself tempts no man. 14 But every one is tempted when he is drawn away by his own desire, and is deluded. 15 So, then, desire, when it has conceived, brings forth sin; and sin, when it is matured, brings forth death.
16 Be not deceived, my beloved brethren; 17 every good gift, and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no change, nor slightest trace of turning. 18 Of his own will, he begot us with the word of truth, in order that we might be, as it were, the first-fruits of his creatures.
