12 Happy the man who does endure temptation, because, becoming approved, he shall receive the crown of the life, which the Lord did promise to those loving Him.

13 Let no one say, being tempted -- 'From God I am tempted,' for God is not tempted of evil, and Himself does tempt no one,

14 and each one is tempted, by his own desires being led away and enticed,

15 afterward the desire having conceived, does give birth to sin, and the sin having been perfected, does bring forth death.
