Then the lust, when it has conceived, bears sin. The sin, when it is full grown, produces death.

James 1:15 in other translations
Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.
Then after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, gives birth to death.
Then the lust, when it has conceived, bears sin; and the sin, when it is full grown, brings forth death.

In context
12 Blessed is a person who endures temptation, for when he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life which the Lord promised to those who love him.
13 Let no man say when he is tempted, “I am tempted by God,” for God can’t be tempted by evil, and he himself tempts no one.
14 But each one is tempted when he is drawn away by his own lust and enticed.
15 Then the lust, when it has conceived, bears sin. The sin, when it is full grown, produces death.
16 Don’t be deceived, my beloved brothers.
17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom can be no variation nor turning shadow.
18 Of his own will he gave birth to us by the word of truth, that we should be a kind of first fruits of his creatures.
