In James 1:13, the nominative singular masculine adjective describes God within the statement that no tempted person should say, “I am tempted by God.” The APB renders the clause “for God is untempted by evils,” followed by “he himself tempts no one.”
In the Anselm Project Bible: In James 1:13, the APB presents the term in the clause “God is untempted by evils.” This clause supplies the verse-level presentation rather than a precise lexical mapping.
