James 1:12 - 18


1:12 - Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him.

1:13 - Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man:

1:14 - But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed.

1:15 - Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.

1:16 - Do not err, my beloved brethren.

1:17 - Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.

1:18 - Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures.
