James 1:13-15
Legacy Standard Bible
13 Let no one say when he is tempted, “(A)I am being tempted [a]by God”; for God cannot be tempted [b]by evil, and He Himself does not tempt anyone. 14 But each one is tempted when he is carried away and enticed by his own lust. 15 Then (B)when lust has conceived, it gives birth to sin, and when (C)sin is fully matured, it brings forth death.

New King James Version
13 Let no one say when he is tempted, “I am tempted by God”; for God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does He Himself tempt anyone. 14 But each one is tempted when he is drawn away by his own desires and enticed. 15 Then, (A)when desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, (B)brings forth death.
