New Testament in Greek (UBS.Ed.26) |
|
|
| 12 | Happy the man who remains steadfast under trial, for having passed that test he will receive for his prize the gift of life promised to those who love God. | Trial and Temptation Jas.1.12-18 | Μακάριος ἀνὴρ ὃς ὑπομένει πειρασμόν, ὅτι δόκιμος γενόμενος λήμψεται τὸν στέφανον τῆς ζωῆς, ὃν ἐπηγγείλατο τοῖς ἀγαπῶσιν αὐτόν. |
|
| 13 | No one under trial or temptation should say, 'I am being tempted by God'; for God is untouched by evil, and does not himself tempt anyone. | | μηδεὶς πειραζόμενος λεγέτω ὅτι Ἀπὸ θεοῦ πειράζομαι· ὁ γὰρ θεὸς ἀπείραστός ἐστιν κακῶν, πειράζει δὲ αὐτὸς οὐδένα. |
|
| 14 | Temptation arises when a man is enticed and lured away by his own lust; | | ἑκαστος δὲ πειράζεται ὑπὸ τῆς ἰδίας ἐπιθυμίας ἐξελκόμενος καὶ δελεαζόμενος· |
|
| 15 | then lust conceives, and gives birth to sin; and is sin full-grown breeds death.
| | εἶτα ἡ ἐπιθυμία συλλαβοῦσα τίκτει ἀμαρτίαν, ἡ δὲ ἀμαρτία ἀποτελεσθεῖσα ἀποκύει θάνατον. |
|
| 16 | Do not deceive yourselves, my friends. | | Μὴ πλανᾶσθε, ἀδελφοί μου ἀγαπητοί. |
|
| 17 | All good giving and every perfect gift comes from above, from the Father of the lights of heaven. With him there is no variation, no play of passing shadows. | | πᾶσα δόσις ἀγαθὴ καὶ πᾶν δώρημα τέλειον ἀνωθέν ἐστιν, καταβαῖνον ἀπὸ τοῦ πατρὸς τῶν φώτων, παρ' ᾧ οὐκ ἐνι παραλλαγὴ ἢ τροπῆς ἀποσκίασμα. |
|
| 18 | Of his set purpose, by declaring the truth, he gave us birth to be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures.
| | βουληθεὶς ἀπεκύησεν ἡμᾶς λόγῳ ἀληθείας, εἰς τὸ εἶναι ἡμᾶς ἀπαρχήν τινα τῶν αὐτοῦ κτισμάτων. |
