James 1:15-17

Good News Translation

¹⁵ Then our evil desires conceive and give birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, gives birth to death.

¹⁶ Do not be deceived, my dear friends! ¹⁷ Every good gift and every perfect present comes from heaven; it comes down from God, the Creator of the heavenly lights, who does not change or cause darkness by turning.
