James 1:13-18 (GOD'S WORD Translation)
View In My Bible
13
When someone is tempted, he shouldn't say that God is tempting him. God can't be tempted by evil, and God doesn't tempt anyone.
14
Everyone is tempted by his own desires as they lure him away and trap him.
15
Then desire becomes pregnant and gives birth to sin. When sin grows up, it gives birth to death.
16
My dear brothers and sisters, don't be fooled.
17
Every good present and every perfect gift comes from above, from the Father who made the sun, moon, and stars. The Father doesn't change like the shifting shadows produced by the sun and the moon.
18
God decided to give us life through the word of truth to make us his most important creatures.
