Jacob (James) 1:13-17 Tree Of Life Version (TLV)

13. Let no one say when he is tempted, “I am being tempted by God”—for God cannot be tempted by evil, and He himself tempts no one.

14. But each one is tempted when he is dragged away and enticed by his own desire.

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

16. Do not be deceived, my dear brothers and sisters.

17. Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shifting shadow.
