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. |
Bible Question (short): Original source of "Sin begets sin"? |
Question (full): I'm trying to find the exact source of the phrase "sin begets sin" - clearly it's used in many biblical discussions, and it's referenced by many with respect to Genesis 3, though is not contained literally within the text. Does it stem from a biblical source, or from elsewhere? Many thanks |
