12. Blessed is the man who endures temptation; for, having been proved, he shall receive the crown of life, which He has promised to them that love him.
13. Let no man, being tempted, say, I am tempted of God. For God cannot be tempted by evil things, and himself tempts no one.
14. But every one is tempted, drawn away, and enticed by his own lust;
15. then lust, having conceived, gives birth to sin; but sin fully completed brings forth death.
16. Do not err, my beloved brethren.
