In context
12Blessed 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.
13Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man:
— James 1:14 —
15Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.
