James 1:13-15

New English Translation

¹³ Let no one say when he is tempted, “I am tempted by God,” for God cannot be tempted by evil,^[a] and he himself tempts no one. ¹⁴ But each one is tempted when he is lured and enticed by his own desires. ¹⁵ Then when desire conceives, it gives birth to sin, and when sin is full grown, it gives birth to death.
