James 1:12-18 - Testing And Tempting
12 Happy is the man that endureth in temptation, for when he is tried he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him.
13 Let no man say when he is tempted that he is tempted of God: for God tempteth not unto evil, neither tempteth he any man. 14 But every man is tempted, drawn away, and enticed of his own concupiscence. 15 Then when lust hath conceived, she bringeth forth sin, and sin when it is finished bringeth forth death.
16 Err not, my dear brethren. 17 Every good gift, and every perfect gift, is from above and cometh down from the father of light, with whom is no variableness, neither is he changed unto darkness. 18 Of his own will begat he us with the word of life, that we should be the first fruits of his creatures.
