James 1:13-15

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹³ Let no man, when he is tempted, say that he is tempted by God. For God is not a tempter of evils, and he tempteth no man.

¹⁴ But every man is tempted by his own concupiscence, being drawn away and allured.

¹⁵ Then when concupiscence hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin. But sin, when it is completed, begetteth death.
