Deildu

Then, after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, gives birth to death.

Then desire when it has conceived gives birth to sin, and sin when it is fully grown brings forth death.

These desires give birth to sinful actions. And when sin is allowed to grow, it gives birth to death.

Then after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin, and when sin is fully grown, it gives birth to death.

Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.

Then, when desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, brings forth death.

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.

Then when lust has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it has run its course, brings forth death.

Then when the illicit desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and when sin has run its course, it gives birth to death.

Then when desire conceives, it gives birth to sin, and when sin is full grown, it gives birth to death.
