Jubilee Bible 2000 JUB
New International Version NIV
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:
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 one is tempted, when they are drawn away of their own lust and enticed.
14
but each person is tempted when they are dragged away by their own evil desire and enticed.
15 Then when lust has conceived, it brings forth sin; and sin, when it is finished, brings forth death.
15
Then, after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, gives birth to death.
16 Do not err, my beloved brethren.
16
Don’t be deceived, my dear brothers and sisters.
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.
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, of his own will, has begotten us with the word of truth, that we should be the firstfruits of his creatures.
18
He chose to give us birth through the word of truth, that we might be a kind of firstfruits of all he created.
