Jacques 1:16 Meaning and Commentary

James 1:16

Do not err, my beloved brethren.
] For to make God the author of sin, or to charge him with being concerned in temptation to sin, is a very great error, a fundamental one, which strikes at the nature and being of God, and at the perfection of his holiness: it is a denying of him, and is one of those damnable errors and heresies, which bring upon men swift destruction; and therefore to be guarded against, rejected, and abhorred by all that profess any regard unto him, his name and glory.

Jacques 1:16 In-Context

14 Mais chacun est tenté quand il est attiré et amorcé par sa propre convoitise.
15 Et après que la convoitise a conçu, elle enfante le péché; et le péché étant consommé, engendre la mort.
16 Mes frères bien-aimés, ne vous y trompez point:
17 Toute grâce excellente et tout don parfait viennent d'en haut, et descendent du Père des lumières, en qui il n'y a ni variation, ni ombre de changement.
18 Il nous a engendrés selon sa volonté, par la parole de la vérité, afin que nous fussions comme les prémices de ses créatures.
