James 1:13-15 The Message (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. The temptation to give in to evil comes from us and only us. We have no one to blame but the leering, seducing flare-up of our own lust. Lust gets pregnant, and has a baby: sin! Sin grows up to adulthood, and becomes a real killer.

James 1:15 King James Version (KJV)

Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.

James 1:15 New American Standard Bible - NASB 1995 (NASB1995)

Then when lust has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and when sin is accomplished, it brings forth death.

This desire leads to sin, and then the sin grows and brings death.
