James 1:13-18

Jubilee Bible 2000 JUB

13 Let no one say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God; for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither does he tempt anyone:

14 But each one is tempted, when they are drawn away of their own lust and enticed.

15 Then when lust has conceived, it brings forth sin; and sin, when it is finished, brings forth death.

16 Do not err, my beloved brethren.

17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness neither shadow of turning.

18 He, of his own will, has begotten us with the word of truth, that we should be the firstfruits of his creatures.

New International Version NIV

13 When tempted, no one should say, “God is tempting me.” For God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does he tempt anyone;

14 but each person is tempted when they are dragged away by their own evil desire and enticed.

15 Then, after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, gives birth to death.

16 Don’t be deceived, my dear brothers and sisters.

17 Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows.

18 He chose to give us birth through the word of truth, that we might be a kind of firstfruits of all he created.
