James 1:16 BBE

¹⁴  But every man is tested when he is turned out of the right way by the attraction of his desire.

¹⁵  Then when its time comes, desire gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is of full growth, gives birth to death.

¹⁶  Do not be turned from the right way, dear brothers.

¹⁷  Every good and true thing is given to us from heaven, coming from the Father of lights, with whom there is no change or any shade made by turning.

¹⁸  Of his purpose he gave us being, by his true word, so that we might be, in a sense, the first-fruits of all the things which he had made.
