Let no one say, when tempted, I am being tempted by God, for God is incapable of being tempted by evil, and He Himself tempts no one. But each one is tempted by his own lusts, being pulled away and enticed. Then that lust having conceived gives birth to sin, then that sin having become full-grown brings forth death. Every good giving and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning. For the One saying, You shall not commit adultery, also said, You shall not murder.
Mercy triumphs over judgment.
And he was called a friend of God. For as the body without the spirit is dead, so also one s faith without such works is dead. For every species, both of wild animals and of birds, both of reptiles and sea creatures, is tamed and has been tamed by the human species. With it we praise the God and Father, and with it we curse the people having been created according to the likeness of God. Now the fruit of such righteousness is sown in peace by the ones making peace.
