James 1:13-15
English Standard Version
13 Let no one say when he is tempted, “I am being tempted by God,” for God cannot be tempted with evil, and he himself tempts no one. 14 But each person is tempted when he is lured and enticed by his own desire. 15 Then desire (A)when it has conceived gives birth to sin, and (B)sin when it is fully grown brings forth death.

James 1:13-15
Lexham English Bible
13 No one who is being tempted should say, “I am being tempted by God,” for God cannot be tempted[a] by evil, and he himself tempts no one. 14 But each one is tempted when he[b] is dragged away and enticed by his own desires. 15 Then desire, after it[c] has conceived, gives birth to sin, and sin, when it[d] is brought to completion, gives birth to death.
