What the Bible says about Peirasmos
(From Forerunner Commentary)

James 1:12 "Temptation" is from the Greek noun peirasmos, which can refer to trials or tests with a beneficial purpose or effect—or to trials or tests designed to lead to wrong doing. The outcome depends on how the tempted person reacts. Temptation of itself is not sin; one must accept it before it results in sin. Thus, it is a forerunner of sin, warning us that the potential for sin is not far away. Martin G. Collins How Does Temptation Relate to Sin?
