James 1:13 in context

  1. 11For the sun ariseth with the scorching wind, and withereth the grass; and the flower thereof falleth, and the grace of the fashion of it perisheth: so also shall the rich man fade away in his goings.
  2. 12Blessed is the man that endureth temptation; for when he hath been approved, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord promised to them that love him.
  3. 13Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God; for God cannot be tempted with evil, and he himself tempteth no man:
  4. 14but each man is tempted, when he is drawn away by his own lust, and enticed.
  5. 15Then the lust, when it hath conceived, beareth sin: and the sin, when it is fullgrown, bringeth forth death.
