NASB | James 1:13 Let no one say when he is tempted, "I am being tempted by God"; for God cannot be tempted by evil, and He Himself does not tempt anyone. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | James 1:13 Let no one say when he is tempted, "I am being tempted by God" [for temptation does not originate from God, but from our own flaws]; for God cannot be tempted by [what is] evil, and He Himself tempts no one. |
Subject: What part does God play in temptations? |
Bible Note: Is there a contradiction ... didn't God tempt Abraham (Gen 22:1) and Israel (Exo 15:25)? God will not let us be tempted beyond what we can handle (1Co 10:13) ... so what part does He have in our temptation? How to the trails we face (vv 2, 12) relate to our temptations? Steve |
