James 1:13-15

New Catholic Bible

^13 [a]While experiencing temptation, no one should say, “God is tempting me.” For God cannot be tempted by evil, and he himself tempts no one. ¹⁴ Rather, temptation occurs when someone is attracted and seduced by his own desire. ¹⁵ Then the desire conceives and gives birth to sin, and that sin, when it reaches full growth, gives birth to death.
