James's analysis — 'when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death' — diagrams the moral pathology of temptation as a three-stage biological process: conception, birth, death. The vocabulary of pregnancy and birth (sullabousa, tiktei) is applied to the generation of sin from internal desire, contrasting with verse 18's positive birth: 'of his own will begat he us with the word of truth.' The verse directly counters the suggestion that God tempts (verse 13) by locating the origin of sin entirely within the human will — God's word generates life; desire generates death. Romans 7:8's account of sin 'taking occasion by the commandment' and 'wrought in me all manner of concupiscence' provides the Pauline parallel to James's moral anatomy of desire's progression.
