James 1:12-14
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
12 Blessed[a] is the man who endures the trial, because having become[b] approved, he will receive the crown of [c] life which He promised to the ones loving Him.
But Temptation To Evil Comes From Within, Not From God
13 Let no one being tempted be saying that “I am being tempted by[d] God”. For God is not-tempted by evils. And He Himself tempts no one, 14 but each one is tempted by[e] his own desire while being drawn-away[f] and enticed[g].

James 1:12-14
New International Version
12 Blessed is the one who perseveres under trial(A) because, having stood the test, that person will receive the crown of life(B) that the Lord has promised to those who love him.(C)
13 When tempted, no one should say, “God is tempting me.” For God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does he tempt anyone; 14 but each person is tempted when they are dragged away by their own(D) evil desire and enticed.
