James 1:14
James 1:14 English Standard Version 2016 (ESV)
But each person is tempted when he is lured and enticed by his own desire.
James 1:13-15 The Message (MSG)
Don’t let anyone under pressure to give in to evil say, “God is trying to trip me up.” God is impervious to evil, and puts evil in no one’s way. The temptation to give in to evil comes from us and only us. We have no one to blame but the leering, seducing flare-up of our own lust. Lust gets pregnant, and has a baby: sin! Sin grows up to adulthood, and becomes a real killer.
James 1:14 King James Version (KJV)
but every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed.
