13. Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, and he himself tempteth no man:
14. but each man is tempted, when he is drawn away by his own lust, and enticed.
15. Then the lust, when it hath conceived, beareth sin: and the sin, when it is fullgrown, bringeth forth death.
16. Be not deceived, my beloved brethren.
17. Every good gift and every perfect boon is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom can be no variation, neither shadow that is cast by turning.
18. Of his own will he brought us forth by the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures.
