Then after desire has conceived The word "desire" in Greek is "ἐπιθυμία" (epithymia), which refers to a strong craving or longing, often for what is forbidden. In the context of James, this desire is not merely a fleeting thought but a deep-seated longing that takes root in the heart. The imagery of conception suggests an intimate and internal process, where desire is nurtured and allowed to grow. This reflects the biblical understanding that sin begins in the heart (Matthew 15:19). The conception of desire is a critical moment, as it marks the transition from temptation to the formation of sin. It is a call for vigilance, urging believers to guard their hearts and minds against the seeds of sinful desires. it gives birth to sin and sin, when it is full-grown gives birth to death The one effect of sin, more especially that of the flesh here alluded to, must be Death. The act itself is mortiferous, the result inevitable; just as much so, and as naturally, as the work of poison on the body.

"Because," says the Wisdom of God (Proverbs 1:24-26), "I have called, and ye refused . . . I also will laugh at your calamity." "The wages of sin is death" (Romans 6:23), and their paymaster is the devil. Verse 15 shows where temptation passes into sin. Ἐπιθυμία, lust, is clearly not in itself "true and proper sin," but it is no less clear that, as our Article IX. says it "hath of itself the nature of sin."
