To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
— 1. The sense, in which SECTION Y. 59 the apostle meant to clear God of tempting men to sin, is that, in which it is impossible he himself should be tempted. This is the obvious import of the words, "God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man. " Hut God is tempted by sin- ners in every other way possible to his impassible nature, except being actually inclined to sin. — This then is the point asserted. As God cannot be in- wardly moved, or inclined to sin, so neither does he ...inwardly excite or incline any man to it. 2. The apostle expressly states what he here means by tempting: it is being actually inclined or drawn away to sin. — "But every man is tempted when he is drawn away of his own lust and enticed. " This actual inclination, or being drawn away to sin, which he ascribes to man's own lust as the cause, is the kind of tempting he solemnly warns every man not to impute to God as the direct efficient cause. 3. The apostle's argument requires this construc- tion of his words.
