[13-15] When tempted, no one should

say, God is tempting me. For God

cannot be tempted by evil, nor does he

tempt anyone; but each person is

tempted when they are dragged away

by their own evil desire and enticed.

Then, after desire has conceived, it gives

birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, gives birth to death.

lights, who does not change likeshifting shadows. He chose to give us

birth through the word of truth, that

we might be a kind of firstfruits of allhe created.
