James 1:13

NET ©

Let no one say when he is tempted, “I am tempted by God,” for God cannot be tempted by evil, 1  and he himself tempts no one.

NIV ©

When tempted, no-one should say, "God is tempting me." For God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does he tempt anyone;

NASB ©

Let no one say when he is tempted, "I am being tempted by God"; for God cannot be tempted by evil, and He Himself does not tempt anyone.

NLT ©

And remember, no one who wants to do wrong should ever say, "God is tempting me." God is never tempted to do wrong, and he never tempts anyone else either.

MSG ©

Don't let anyone under pressure to give in to evil say, "God is trying to trip me up." God is impervious to evil, and puts evil in no one's way.

BBE ©

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:

NRSV ©

No one, when tempted, should say, "I am being tempted by God"; for God cannot be tempted by evil and he himself tempts no one.

NKJV ©

Let no one say when he is tempted, "I am tempted by God"; for God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does He Himself tempt anyone.
