James 1:13-15
1599 Geneva Bible
13 [a]Let no man say when he is [b]tempted, I am tempted of God: [c]for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man.
14 But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away by his own concupiscence, and is enticed.
15 Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth [d]sin, and sin when it is finished, bringeth forth death.

- James 1:13 The third part of this Epistle, wherein he descendeth from outward tentations, that is, from afflictions, whereby God trieth us, to inward, that is, to those lusts whereby we are stirred up to do evil. The sum is this: Every man is the author of these temptations to himself, and not God: for we bear about in our bosoms that wicked corruption, which taketh occasions by what means soever, to stir up evil motions in us, whence out at length proceed wicked doing, and in conclusion followeth death the just reward of them.
- James 1:13 When he is provoked to do evil.
- James 1:13 Here is a reason showed, why God cannot be the author of evil doing in us, because he desireth not evil.
