James 1:12-15

Blessed is the one who perseveres under trial, because when they have been tried and approved, they will be given the crown of life, which God promises to those who love him. Let no one who is tempted say, “I am being tempted by God.” For God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does he tempt anyone. But each person is tempted when they are dragged away by their own evil desires and enticed. Then, when those desires conceive, they give birth to sin, and sin, when it is full-grown, gives birth to death.
