James 1:14-18

Temptations come from our own evil desires that lead us astray and entrap us.

Such desires lead to sin, and sin, when it's fully developed, causes death.

My dear friends, don't be deceived.

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.

He chose to give us new life through the word of truth, so that out of all his creation we would be very special to him.
