James 14:12-17  NAS

Blessed is a man who perseveres under trial; for once he is approved, he will receive the crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love Him.  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.  But each one is tempted when he is carried away and enticed by his own lust.  Then when lust has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and when sin is accomplished, it brings forth death.  Do not be deceived, my beloved brethren.  Every good thing given and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shifting shadow.  In this exercise of His will He brought us forth by the word of truth, so that we would be a kind of first fruits, among His creatures.

This you know, my beloved brethren.  But, everyone must be quick to hear, slow to speak, and slow to anger; for anger of man does not achieve the righteousness of God.
