James 1:13-15 No one must say, when he is tempted to do evil, "I have a temptation from God to do evil," for God cannot be tempted to do evil, and He never tempts anyone to do so.

Williams⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹³ No one must say, when he is tempted to do evil, "I have a temptation from God to do evil," for God cannot be tempted to do evil, and He never tempts anyone to do so. ¹⁴ But anyone is tempted to do evil when he is allured by his own evil desire and enticed by a bait. ¹⁵ Then evil desire conceives and gives birth to sin, and when sin is completed, it brings forth death.
