James 1:12-18 - Testing And Tempting
12 Blessed is the man who endures trial, for when he stands the test, he will be given the crown of life, which God has promised to those who love him.
13 No one should think when he is tempted that his temptation comes from God, for God is incapable of being tempted by what is evil, and he does not tempt anyone. 14 When anyone is tempted, it is by his own desire that he is enticed and allured. 15 Then desire conceives and gives birth to sin, and when sin is mature, it brings forth death.
16 Do not be misled, my dear brothers. 17 Every good gift and every perfect present is from heaven, and comes down from the Father of the heavenly lights, about whom there is no variation of changing shadow. 18 Of his own accord he brought us into being through the message of truth, so that we might be a kind of first-fruits among his creatures.
