Let no one say they are tempted,
“I am being tempted by God”;
For God evil is exempted,
To tempt one to become flawed.
He himself is tempting no one,
Only Satan uses that charm;
Not lured by the Father or Son,
That entices for causing harm.
Each one enticed by their own lust,
Being lured by their desire;
Only of themselves that they trust,
To achieve what they require.
Then while lust has been conceived,
Shall be giving birth to a sin;
Which growth that strife is achieved,
Fully grown as death will begin.
Never let yourself be deceived,
Every good gift is from above;
That your heart and mind is perceived,
Which is flowing down with His love.
It comes from the Father of light,
That there is no variation;
No shadow due to change on sight,
Accepting no imitation.
Of His own brought the Word of truth,
That we should be as of firstfruits;
Never considered as uncouth,
When growing in faith grows your roots.
