         DefinitionShort: pertaining to not being able to be tempted

         Glosses: ['unable to be tempted', 'one who cannot be tempted']

         Comments: There may be some difficulties involved in rendering the passive expression in {S:05900101300022}, but it is often possible to restructure this as an active expression with an indefinite person made the subject, for example, ‘no one can tempt God to do what is bad.’ It is also possible to shift the meaning slightly in terms of desire or will and thus say ‘God would never want to do what is evil.’
