James 1:15 in Context — James 1

13 Que personne, lorsqu’il est tenté, ne dise: C’est Dieu qui me tente. Car Dieu ne peut être tenté par le mal, et il ne tente lui-même personne.

14 Mais chacun est tenté quand il est attiré et amorcé par sa propre convoitise.

15 Puis la convoitise, lorsqu’elle a conçu, enfante le péché; et le péché, étant consommé, produit la mort.

16 Ne vous y trompez pas, mes frères bien-aimés:

17 toute grâce excellente et tout don parfait descendent d’en haut, du Père des lumières, chez lequel il n’y a ni changement ni ombre de variation.
