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: There is no contradiction. In each case, God was 'testing' Abraham (Gen 22:1) and Israel (Ex 15:25), not 'tempting' them. God does not tempt anyone, He leaves that to Satan. --Nolan |
