BLB(i)
12 Blessed is the man who endures trial, because, having been approved, he will receive the crown of life that He has promised to those loving Him.
13 Let no one being tempted say, “I am being tempted by God.” For God is unable to be tempted by evils, and He Himself tempts no one.
14 But a man is tempted, being drawn away and being enticed by the own desire.
15 Then desire having conceived, gives birth to sin; and sin having become fully grown, brings forth death.
16 Do not be misled, my beloved brothers.
17 Every good act of giving and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of shifting.
18 Having willed it, He brought us forth by the word of truth, for us to be a kind of firstfruits of His creatures.
