From the Epistle of James in the New Testament
of the Holy Bible, written sometime after
Jesus the Christ, the Son of God,
tomb, resurrected, seen by over 500 people,
and returned to heaven:
Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him. Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man: But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed. Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death. Do not err, my beloved brethren.-James 1:12-16

Reference Scriptures
Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:-Romans 5:12...Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam's transgression, who is the figure of him that was to come.-Romans 5:14...For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous.-Romans 5:19...That as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord.-Romans 5:21
Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord. Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof.-Romans 6:11-12...For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.-Romans 6:23
