James 1:13 in Context — James 1

11 Pois o sol sai com ardor, então seca a erva, a sua flor cai, e a beleza do seu aspecto perece; assim também o rico murchará nos seus caminhos.

12 Bendito é o homem que suporta a provação; pois, quando for aprovado, receberá a coroa da vida, que o Senhor prometeu aos que o amam.

13 Ninguém, quando for tentado, diga: “Sou tentado por Deus”; porque Deus não é tentado pelo mal, e ele mesmo tenta ninguém;

14 Mas cada um é tentado quando é atraído e seduzido pelo seu próprio mau desejo.

15 Depois do mau desejo ter concebido, dá à luz o pecado; e o pecado, quando é completado, gera a morte.
