James 1:13-17
James 1:13
Nobody should say when they're tempted, “I'm being tempted by God.” For God is not tempted by evil, nor does he tempt anyone.
James 1:14
Temptations come from our own evil desires that lead us astray and entrap us.
James 1:15
Such desires lead to sin, and sin, when it's fully developed, causes death.
James 1:16
My dear friends, don't be deceived.
James 1:17
All that's good, every perfect gift, is from above, and comes down from the Father who made heaven's lights. Unlike them he doesn't change—he doesn't vary or cause shadows.
