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. The sin, when it is full grown, produces death.

In context
12 Blessed [is] the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him.
13 Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted by God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man:
14 But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away by his own lust, and enticed.
15 Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.
16 Do not err, my beloved brethren.
17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.
18 Of his own will he hath begotten us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of first-fruits of his creatures.
