James 1:14-17
New American Standard Bible
14 But each one is tempted when he is carried away and enticed by his own lust. 15 Then (A)when lust has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and (B)sin, when it has run its course, brings forth death. 16 (C)Do not be [a]deceived, (D)my beloved brothers and sisters. 17 Every good thing given and every perfect gift is (E)from above, coming down from (F)the Father of lights, (G)with whom there is no variation or [b]shifting shadow.

James 1:14-17
New International Version
14 but each person is tempted when they are dragged away by their own(A) evil desire and enticed. 15 Then, after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin;(B) and sin, when it is full-grown, gives birth to death.(C)
16 Don’t be deceived,(D) my dear brothers and sisters.(E) 17 Every good and perfect gift is from above,(F) coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights,(G) who does not change(H) like shifting shadows.
