James 1:12-16

LEB(i) 12 Blessed is the person* who endures testing, because when he* is approved he will receive the crown of life that he* has promised to those who love him. 13 No one who is being tempted should say, "I am being tempted by God," for God cannot be tempted* by evil, and he himself tempts no one. 14 But each one is tempted when he* is dragged away and enticed by his own desires. 15 Then desire, after it* has conceived, gives birth to sin, and sin, when it* is brought to completion, gives birth to death. 16 Do not be deceived, my dear brothers.
