12 The man who endures under trial is blessed. For when he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life that God promised to those who love him.
13 Let no man say when he is tempted: "God tempts me." God cannot be tempted with evil, and he tempts enticesteststrys no one.
14 Each man is tempted when he is drawn away by his evil desire lust. He is enticed allured.
15 Then evil desires, when conceived, give birth to sin: and the sin, when it is full grown, brings forth death.
