James 1:13–18 · BSB
1:13 When tempted, no one should say, “God is tempting me.” For God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does He tempt anyone.
1:14 But each one is tempted when by his own evil desires he is lured away and enticed.
1:15 Then after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, gives birth to death.
1:16 Do not be deceived, my beloved brothers.
1:17 Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, with whom there is no change or shifting shadow.
1:18 He chose to give us birth through the word of truth, that we would be a kind of firstfruits of His creation.
