^{13 Ref} Let no man say when he is tested, I am tested by God; for it is not possible for God to be tested by evil, and he himself puts no man to such a test:

^{14 Ref} But every man is tested when he is turned out of the right way by the attraction of his desire.

^{15 Ref} Then when its time comes, desire gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is of full growth, gives birth to death.

^{16 Ref} Do not be turned from the right way, dear brothers.

^{17 Ref} Every good and true thing is given to us from heaven, coming from the Father of lights, with whom there is no change or any shade made by turning.
