  not God, nature, fate, etc.

13 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 14 But every man is
tempted,
when he is drawn away of his own lust,
and enticed. 15 Then when lust hath
conceived, it
bringeth forth sin
and sin,
when it is finished,
bringeth
forth death.
