The disciple James wrote: “Each one is tried by being drawn out and enticed by his own desire. Then the desire, when it has become fertile, gives birth to sin; in turn, sin, when it has been accomplished, brings forth death. ”
Jünger Jakoobus kirjutas: „Igaüht kiusatakse, kui tema enese himu teda veab ning ahvatleb; pärast, kui himu on rasestunud, toob ta patu ilmale, aga kui patt on täiesti tehtud, sünnitab ta surma ”.
