雅各书1:12-15
12忍受试探的人是有福的。因为他经过试验以后,必得生命的冠冕,这是主应许给那些爱他之人的。13人被试探,不可说,我是被神试探。因为神不能被恶试探,他也不试探人。14但各人被试探,乃是被自己的私欲牵引诱惑的。15私欲既怀了胎,就生出罪来。罪既长成,就生出死来。
12God blesses those who patiently endure testing and temptation. Afterward they will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love him. 13And remember, when you are being tempted, do not say, “God is tempting me.” God is never tempted to do wrong,#1:13 Or God should not be put to a test by evil people. and he never tempts anyone else. 14Temptation comes from our own desires, which entice us and drag us away. 15These desires give birth to sinful actions. And when sin is allowed to grow, it gives birth to death.
