James 1:13-15
New American Standard Bible
13 No one is to 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 (C)sin, when it has run its course, 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.
