In this post on my blog ‘God-breathed Words’, I take a look at temptation and find that both the original Greek and Hebrew words in the Bible have a range of meaning that includes ‘test’, ‘assay’, ‘prove’ and ‘trail’.
When tempted, no one should say, ‘God is tempting me.’ For God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does he tempt anyone; but each person is tempted when they are dragged away by their own evil desire and enticed. Then, after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, gives birth to death. (James 1:13-15)
