F. Temptation is From Man (1:13-15)

Ver 13. Let no man say when he is tempted, “I am tempted by God,” for God can’t be tempted by evil, and he himself tempts no one.

Ver 14. But each one is tempted when he is drawn away by his own lust and enticed.

Ver 15. Then the lust, when it has conceived, bears sin. The sin, when it is full grown, produces death.
