12 How blessed is the man who endures temptation! When he has passed the test, he will receive the victor's crown of life that God has promised to those who keep on loving him.
13 When someone is tempted, he should not say, "I am being tempted by God," because God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does he tempt anyone.
14 Instead, each person is tempted by his own desire, being lured and trapped by it.
15 When that desire becomes pregnant, it gives birth to sin; when that sin grows up, it gives birth to death.
