James 1:13-18
(Amp)
13 Let no one say when he is tempted, “I am being tempted by God” [ temptation does not originate from God, but from our own flaws]; for God cannot be tempted by [what is] evil, and He Himself tempts no one. 14 But each one is tempted when he is dragged away, enticed and baited by his own [worldly] desire (lust, passion). 15 Then when the evil desire when it has conceived, gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is fully matured, bring forth death. 16 Do not be misled, my brothers and sisters. 17 Every good thing given and every perfect gift is from God; it comes down from the Father of lights [the Creator and Sustainer of the heavens], in whom there is no variation [no rising or setting] or shadow [a]cast by His turning [for He is perfect and never changes].
