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: NIV 13 When tempted, no one should say, “God is tempting me.” For God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does he tempt anyone; JUB 14 But each one is tempted, when they are drawn away of their own lust and enticed. NIV 14 but each person is tempted when they are dragged away by their own evil desire and enticed. JUB 15 Then when lust has conceived, it brings forth sin; and sin, when it is finished, brings forth death. NIV 15 Then, after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, gives birth to death. JUB 16 Do not err, my beloved brethren. NIV 16 Don’t be deceived, my dear brothers and sisters. JUB 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. NIV 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. JUB 18 He, of his own will, has begotten us with the word of truth, that we should be the firstfruits of his creatures. NIV 18 He chose to give us birth through the word of truth, that we might be a kind of firstfruits of all he created.
