James 1:12-18 - Testing And Tempting
12 Blessed is the man who endures trial, for when proved he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord promised to those who love him.
13 Let no tempted one say, I am tempted by God; for God is not subject to temptation by evils, and he tempts no one. 14 But every one is tempted when he is drawn away by his desires, and enticed; 15 then the desire taking effect produces sin, and sin being finished brings forth death.
16 Be not deceived, my beloved brothers. 17 All good giving, and every perfect gift, comes down from above, from the Father of lights, with whom there is no change or shadow of turning. 18 Of his own will begat he us by the word of truth, that we should be a kind of first fruit of his creatures.
