12 Blessed is the man, that suffereth temptation; for when he shall be proved, he shall receive the crown of life, which God promised to men that love him.

13 No man when he is tempted, say, that he is tempted of God; for why God is not a tempter of evil things, for he tempteth no man.

14 But each man is tempted, drawn and stirred, of his own coveting. [Soothly each man is tempted of his own coveting, drawn from reason, and snared, or deceived.]

15 Afterward [or Then] coveting, when it hath conceived, bringeth forth sin; but sin, when it is [ful] filled, engendereth death.
