James 1:13-15
World English Bible
13 Let no man say when he is tempted, “I am tempted by God,” for God can’t be tempted by evil, and he himself tempts no one. 14 But each one is tempted when he is drawn away by his own lust and enticed. 15 Then the lust, when it has conceived, bears sin. The sin, when it is full grown, produces 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.
