James 1:14
But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed.
Connections
ἔσωθεν γὰρ ἐκ τῆς καρδίας τῶν ἀνθρώπων οἱ διαλογισμοὶ οἱ κακοὶ ἐκπορεύονται μοιχεῖαι πορνεῖαι φόνοι
For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders,
ἀποθέσθαι ὑμᾶς κατὰ τὴν προτέραν ἀναστροφὴν τὸν παλαιὸν ἄνθρωπον τὸν φθειρόμενον κατὰ τὰς ἐπιθυμίας τῆς ἀπάτης
That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts;
τὰ δὲ ἐκπορευόμενα ἐκ τοῦ στόματος ἐκ τῆς καρδίας ἐξέρχεται κἀκεῖνα κοινοῖ τὸν ἄνθρωπον
But those things which proceed out of the mouth come forth from the heart; and they defile the man.
ἀλλὰ παρακαλεῖτε ἑαυτοὺς καθ' ἑκάστην ἡμέραν ἄχρις οὗ τὸ Σήμερον καλεῖται ἵνα μὴ σκληρυνθῇ τις ἐξ ὑμῶν ἀπάτῃ τῆς ἁμαρτίας
But exhort one another daily, while is it called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.
Τὸ οὖν ἀγαθὸν ἐμοὶ γέγονεν θάνατος μὴ γένοιτο· ἀλλὰ ἡ ἁμαρτία ἵνα φανῇ ἁμαρτία διὰ τοῦ ἀγαθοῦ μοι κατεργαζομένη θάνατον ἵνα γένηται καθ' ὑπερβολὴν ἁμαρτωλὸς ἡ ἁμαρτία διὰ τῆς ἐντολῆς
Was then that which is good made death unto me? God forbid. But sin, that it might appear sin, working death in me by that which is good; that sin by the commandment might become exceeding sinful.
מִֽכָּל-מִשְׁמָר נְצֹר לִבֶּךָ כִּֽי-מִמֶּנּוּ תּוֹצְאוֹת חַיִּֽים׃
Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.
Πόθεν πόλεμοι καὶ μάχαι ἐν ὑμῖν οὐκ ἐντεῦθεν ἐκ τῶν ἡδονῶν ὑμῶν τῶν στρατευομένων ἐν τοῖς μέλεσιν ὑμῶν
From whence come wars and fightings among you? come they not hence, even of your lusts that war in your members?
ἐγὼ δὲ λέγω ὑμῖν ὅτι πᾶς ὁ βλέπων γυναῖκα πρὸς τὸ ἐπιθυμῆσαι αὐτῆς ἤδη ἐμοίχευσεν αὐτὴν ἐν τῇ καρδίᾳ αὐτοῦ
But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.
רֹעֶה אֵפֶר לֵב הוּתַל הִטָּהוּ וְלֹֽא-יַצִּיל אֶת-נַפְשׁוֹ וְלֹא יֹאמַר הֲלוֹא שֶׁקֶר בִּימִינִֽי׃
He feedeth on ashes: a deceived heart hath turned him aside, that he cannot deliver his soul, nor say, Is there not a lie in my right hand?
ἡ γὰρ ἁμαρτία ἀφορμὴν λαβοῦσα διὰ τῆς ἐντολῆς ἐξηπάτησέν με καὶ δι' αὐτῆς ἀπέκτεινεν
For sin, taking occasion by the commandment, deceived me, and by it slew me.
וַיַּרְא יְהוָה כִּי רַבָּה רָעַת הָאָדָם בָּאָרֶץ וְכָל-יֵצֶר מַחְשְׁבֹת לִבּוֹ רַק רַע כָּל-הַיּֽוֹם׃
And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.
אִם-נִפְתָּה לִבִּי עַל-אִשָּׁה וְעַל-פֶּתַח רֵעִי אָרָֽבְתִּי׃
If mine heart have been deceived by a woman, or if I have laid wait at my neighbour's door;
וַיִּפְתְּ בַּסֵּתֶר לִבִּי וַתִּשַּׁק יָדִי לְפִֽי׃
And my heart hath been secretly enticed, or my mouth hath kissed my hand:
ταῦτά ἐστιν τὰ κοινοῦντα τὸν ἄνθρωπον τὸ δὲ ἀνίπτοις χερσὶν φαγεῖν οὐ κοινοῖ τὸν ἄνθρωπον
These are the things which defile a man: but to eat with unwashen hands defileth not a man.
וַיְהִי׀ לְעֵת הָעֶרֶב וַיָּקָם דָּוִד מֵעַל מִשְׁכָּבוֹ וַיִּתְהַלֵּךְ עַל-גַּג בֵּית-הַמֶּלֶךְ וַיַּרְא אִשָּׁה רֹחֶצֶת מֵעַל הַגָּג וְהָאִשָּׁה טוֹבַת מַרְאֶה מְאֹֽד׃
And it came to pass in an eveningtide, that David arose from off his bed, and walked upon the roof of the king's house: and from the roof he saw a woman washing herself; and the woman was very beautiful to look upon.
(ואראה) וָאֵרֶא בַשָּׁלָל אַדֶּרֶת שִׁנְעָר אַחַת טוֹבָה וּמָאתַיִם שְׁקָלִים כֶּסֶף וּלְשׁוֹן זָהָב אֶחָד חֲמִשִּׁים שְׁקָלִים מִשְׁקָלוֹ וָֽאֶחְמְדֵם וָֽאֶקָּחֵם וְהִנָּם טְמוּנִים בָּאָרֶץ בְּתוֹךְ הָאָֽהֳלִי וְהַכֶּסֶף תַּחְתֶּֽיהָ׃
When I saw among the spoils a goodly Babylonish garment, and two hundred shekels of silver, and a wedge of gold of fifty shekels weight, then I coveted them, and took them; and, behold, they are hid in the earth in the midst of my tent, and the silver under it.
וַיְדַבֵּר אַחְאָב אֶל-נָבוֹת׀ לֵאמֹר׀ תְּנָה-לִּי אֶֽת-כַּרְמְךָ וִֽיהִי-לִי לְגַן-יָרָק כִּי הוּא קָרוֹב אֵצֶל בֵּיתִי וְאֶתְּנָה לְךָ תַּחְתָּיו כֶּרֶם טוֹב מִמֶּנּוּ אִם טוֹב בְּעֵינֶיךָ אֶתְּנָה-לְךָ כֶסֶף מְחִיר זֶֽה׃
And Ahab spake unto Naboth, saying, Give me thy vineyard, that I may have it for a garden of herbs, because it is near unto my house: and I will give thee for it a better vineyard than it; or, if it seem good to thee, I will give thee the worth of it in money.
וַיָּרַח יְהוָה אֶת-רֵיחַ הַנִּיחֹחַ וַיֹּאמֶר יְהוָה אֶל-לִבּוֹ לֹֽא-אֹסִף לְקַלֵּל עוֹד אֶת-הָֽאֲדָמָה בַּֽעֲבוּר הָֽאָדָם כִּי יֵצֶר לֵב הָֽאָדָם רַע מִנְּעֻרָיו וְלֹֽא-אֹסִף עוֹד לְהַכּוֹת אֶת-כָּל-חַי כַּֽאֲשֶׁר עָשִֽׂיתִי׃
And the LORD smelled a sweet savour; and the LORD said in his heart, I will not again curse the ground any more for man's sake; for the imagination of man's heart is evil from his youth; neither will I again smite any more every thing living, as I have done.
שִֽׁחֶתְךָ יִשְׂרָאֵל כִּֽי-בִי בְעֶזְרֶֽךָ׃
O Israel, thou hast destroyed thyself; but in me is thine help.
