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, Or: God cannot be tempted 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 sin full-grown breeds death. | | εἶτα ἡ ἐπιθυμία συλλαβοῦσα τίκτει ἀμαρτίαν, ἡ δὲ ἀμαρτία ἀποτελεσθεῖσα ἀποκύει θάνατον. |
|
| 16 | Make no mistake, my friends. | | Μὴ πλανᾶσθε, ἀδελφοί μου ἀγαπητοί. |
|
| 17 | All good giving, every perfect gift comes Or: All giving is good, 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. Some witnesses read: no variations, or shadow caused by change. | | 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. |
